Almost made it. I think I made it to about 19.5 hours at the end of the night last night. Yesterday I got some audiobook in to and from work, about a chapter in during my lunch break, and about 45 minutes in before bed. But I am still not feeling great, however feel I did good considering! Lol
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65

The Crimson Petal and the White | Michel Faber

835 pages and I feel like I need a sequel 😩 I thought the ending was done well but I am left wanting to know what happened to them all! It‘s one of the most immersive novels I‘ve read; when I wasn‘t reading it I was thinking about it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

tokorowilliamwallace Ah, I own this and had been meaning to read it for years! I wish I had access to it now. 3y

Kloves2read If you liked this book, you would like Slammerkin by Emma Donahue. I liked this book as well. It started out slow but once it picked up the story was enjoyable and the characters were well developed. 3y

BarbaraBB Yes I read it but it wasn‘t as memorable to me as it is to you. I read it a long time ago so it might well have been me. I do love Michel Faber though, all of his books! 3y

TheNeverendingTBR I'm glad you enjoyed it, it really was great. You should try Under the Skin, that's good also.

Under the Skin

My #NewYearSpecial #20in4 wrap-up:

Well over 20 hours of reading, I didn‘t run a timer the last couple days though.

Finished everything above except Mexican Gothic, which I just started yesterday.
2 new favorites: The Way of Kings & Razorblade Tears
Enjoyed everything but All the Feels & The Holiday Swap were just ok.
Sadly both were mildly disappointing, which is a trend this past year for contemporary romances.

Andrew65 Brilliant . 👏👏👏🙌🥳😍📚 3y

Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons | Kate Khavari

pick

Another book that I finished during #20in4 #readathon #NewYearSpecial @Andrew65

ARC - pub date 07 June 2022

Murder mystery set in London in the 1930s. Strong female heroine and sidekick/love interest. Villainous villains. Dumb detectives. Interesting botanical information. And a plot with not too obvious twists.

I hope this will have a sequel.
