#FinishWhatYouStarted
blurb

The Everlasting | Alix E. Harrow

I know I‘m a mood reader and even the idea of a November TBR will probably mean I read none of these books, I wanted to at least TRY to plan some reading - I‘ve been doing a lot of digital ARCs and library books and I want this to be more of a physical book month (clear those messy shelves!!) The Kingdoms is a #finishwhatyoustarted pick and I‘m hoping to get a couple other half read books wrapped up too, just not sure which.

Far From the Tree | Solomon, Andrew

I am committed to finishing this, hopefully in November but absolutely in 2025. I started it in 2014, it was a gift. My plan then was to read a chapter a month. It is so full of information and real life stories, it can be overwhelming and break your heart. Today I read schizophrenia; “autism is characterized by an over abundance of synaptic connectivity, schizophrenia is marked by a dearth of it.” #nonfictionnovember #finishwhatyoustarted

dabbe That's a W😮WZA book! ♥️🍁🧡 3d
mcctrish @dabbe for 10 years I‘ve hoped to find it on audio 🙏🏻 and now I just have to get on with it 3d
janeycanuck Oh, wow, that sounds intense. You‘ve totally got this! (edited) 3d
mcctrish @janeycanuck here‘s to avoiding reality some more as I am want to do 😂😂😂 always with my head stuck in a book, damming the consequences 3d

Life with Picasso | Franoise Gilot, Carlton Lake

A little behind thanks to so much baseball 💔 so Sunday morning is for reading up for #sundaybuddyread with my coffee in a cup from Nice where I went to museums full of Picassos and my reading chair TBR is updated to include #finishwhatyoustarted #allergictochunksters #nonfictionnovember #literarycrew and my latest mini Lego set

Aims42 Ugh, what a heartbreaker of an ending 😢 4d
Cathythoughts Great pic. Enjoy your coffee x 4d
mcctrish @Aims42 there is some crying in baseball 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading Far From The Tree this month too! It is a commitment. 4d
mcctrish @ChaoticMissAdventures I started this so long ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ I stalled out at schizophrenia and truthfully I have always wondered why he didn‘t include a chapter on women considering how some of the world feels about having a girl child 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures @mcctrish I just looked at the chapters yesterday, and was also immediately annoyed that there was a son chapter but nothing that spoke to women. Glad I am not alone there. 4d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish ugh so upset about the baseball. 4d
Aims42 @mcctrish very true! 😢💔 4d
janeycanuck Ugh, that game… right down to the very bitter end! May you be more successful in your quest to finish what you started! 3d

I‘m too tired to make a pretty Canva graphic for November‘s #BookSpinBingo list, so a Note on my phone and prettied up with PicCollage will have to do!

This year went downhill fast, and my reading has taken a significant hit the last couple of months. #FinishWhatYouStarted will hopefully be a good push to read the 30+ books I‘ve started this year but have failed to finish, and I really want to get in some nonfiction for Nonfiction November.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4d
janeycanuck Ooh, I didn‘t even think of putting any of my #finishwhatyoustarted stack on my book spin list. Smart! Good luck! 3d
Librarybelle Thanks, @janeycanuck ! And thanks for this great idea for an end-of-year challenge! 3d

It‘s time for the #finishwhatyoustarted readathon to clear out whatever you need to get finished before the end of the year! I was hoping to start strong and finish something this weekend but I just got a notification from the library that 3 holds are in and I still have six in the house so I should prolly work on those!

mcctrish I am going to get them now and put them by my reading chair 5d
Cuilin @mcctrish oh that‘s smart. I should gather mine together too. 5d
Mollyanna Just finalized my list and stacked those I currently have (either owned or from the library) on my nightstand. 5d
Librarybelle I hope this is my push to finish a bunch of books I started and stopped! 5d

Well, I meant to post this stack last week but I had to start a couple more books so I had lots of choice for my #finishwhatyoustarted readathon. Some of these were started in 2022!!! 🙈

Do you also have a few in-progress books or challenges you want to focus on finishing for the rest of the year? Join me!

Bookwormjillk Great idea for a Readathon! 1w

Yikes. I‘ve just realized I have an unreasonable number of half-read books that I‘d really like to get read before the end of the year. Feeling the same? Join me for a #finishwhatyoustarted readathon starting Nov 1. It doesn‘t need to be half-read books. Maybe you are behind on a challenge or some buddy reads? Make whatever you like of it!
I‘ll post my stack later this week.

SamAnne I will join. I‘m on a meandering road trip for the next few weeks and have been tackling those half read books! 2w

I‘ll post my stack later this week when I‘m brave enough to put all the books in one spot.
