#11thHourReadathon
Didn't manage a lot yesterday night. I was so tired, l eventually had to surrender to my bed.
Tried to read a bit of Hazel&Holly, which has been a challenge. The pace is so glacial, l have to take the book a bit at a time.
I've been meaning to read Tey since l read Nicola Upson's novels, where Tey appears as a character. But not even the entriguing beginning kept me awake.
I'm in my avarege with readathons.
Friends. I don't know what happened to the weekend but my grand plans for #11thhourreadathon turned into parties w/friends & the Nutcracker ballet w/my niece. Nice things but I only read like 2 hours. 🙈 Anyway, my #bookreport is late too, but here it is: I am sad to say I bailed on the Water Dancer--it was me not the book. I wanted to read Starless Sea more, so that's what I'm doing. Loving it & should be able to finish this week. #weeklyreport
pick#11thHourReadathon - End: This story is what happened for five hours from beginning to end.
1960s. School year in Philadelphia with “the bosoms” - possibilities & potentialities. Warm summers in North Carolina with her father and his people - Jim Crow Laws & restrictions. Time spent with and without her father. A father who could have seen his disability as an excuse to fade from life is instead larger than life and pushing living to the edge.👇🏽
Worked at my sister's Christmas present while listening to the tagged book.
I'm really enjoying it, though l think the first book in the Bess Crowford series was even better.
But once again the characters are fantastic, the psychological side is so human, and the historical setting is first class.
Don't know whether l'll finish during the #11thHourReadathon, but l'll certainly finish this week.
Not a super high total for a 24-hour readathon, but I‘m pleased with it considering we had holiday festivities to attend in the middle of this. 🎅🏻
I wasn‘t able to finish either book I have in progress, but they are heavy reads, I made great progress, and should be able to finish both today. 🤞🏻
#11thHourReadathon
Good morning friends! Our 11th Hour Readathon is over! Hope you were able to get a lot of reading in during this 24-hour period. And you were closer to completing your reading challenges. Remember to take a screenshot of you time to be entered for the drawing! #11thHourReadathon #EclecticReaders #ReadingChallenges #Readathon
Final total for #11thHourReadathon . I‘m also playing g catch up for #LiteraryCrew and am about to start the prior week‘s section.
This is such a good and haunting book. In many aspects, the revolutionary ideas presented on disease prevention are way ahead of its time, and yet it‘s these ideas that may make some survive the Black Death. I‘ll post a little later with my thoughts on the book, as the #buddyread moves into its final week of reading.
#FellowshipOfTolkien #ThereAndBackAgain
Started the #11thHourReadathon very late yesterday, but still managed to finished The Hobbit.
And once again l absolutely loved it. This last part really made me think and feel, and l confess l even shade a few tears, in that episode you know.
Bilbo's pure heart and willingness to be useful was so endearing. And also so inspiring.
Loved it. Just loved it once more.
