Whoops got distracted from @DeweysReadathon for a bit but I did got to see Caitlin Doughty who was awesome so 🤷🏻‍♀️ still a pretty bookish day. Anyway I ended up liking this but it‘s not my kind of mystery exactly... started out pretty slow though it sped up at the end

Getting started with this for the @DeweysReadathon ! Here‘s my intro questions while I wait to start.

1) Reading in Chicago today
2) The one above largely cause it‘s overdue at the library (thanks Chicago public library for eliminating late fees 😆)
3) looking forward to snacking on tea and chocolate
4) This is my first time in this readathon tho I‘ve done 24in48 a few times
5) Looking forward to breaking a reading slump today! 📚

Ok guys for the #hour42 #favoriteone challenge I can‘t pick! Can there be a tie?? 😂 I gave both of these 5 stars and they‘re so different I don‘t know how to compare them. But I loved them both so much!! #24in48

Took a break from this one but now hoping to finish it up in the last couple hours of #24in48. But first the #hour36 challenge- I don‘t have much bookish stuff (except like 100 books) but I do love both these tees!

A Wrinkle in Time | Madeleine L'Engle

Good morning on day 2 of #24in48! For the #hour30 #MGYA challenge, I actually already used these books (is that kosher?) for #sff. However really a wrinkle in time is one of my all time favorite books! The hero and the crown and the thief were also favorites of mine. I recently read some of the thief books and they stand up- still so good! of the copies pictured, the hero and crown is the only one I‘ve had since childhood and you can tell 😂 📚

I feel so weirdly in sync with the #24in48 challenges this time around. For the #hour18 #romance challenge, I just finished birthday (fun fact: I got this as a prize at a previous #24in48!) and am about to start fumbled. not sure if birthday is just a romance novel, it‘s also a coming of age story and ya, but it was so romantic! I didn‘t always read much romance, and mystery‘s always been my go-to genre. But recently I‘ve gotten into it more. 📚

Finished up this audiobook with some help from Fat Louie (and by help I do mean difficulty breathing he‘s a very large cat😂). I‘m definitely still processing the book- I enjoyed some parts of this book a lot, but it was a tough one as well. Definitely time for something lighter now! About 9 hours done of #24in48 📚

In a very timely #24in48 #hour12 #audiobook challenge, I just got back from a long (sweaty) walk while listening to this on audio. I got this on sale from Libro.fm, but I‘ve also used a family audible account sometimes. This book is tough and I struggle with the theme, but the narrator is great! It‘s one I‘m not sure if finish on paper but I‘m almost done with it now on audio.

Zero History | William Gibson

Just woke up from a short-ish sleep and kicking off my morning with the #24in48 #sff #hoursix challenge 😊 📚 📖. Here‘s a few of my old favorites plus a new book I particularly loved (an unkindness of ghosts). Zero history maybe doesn‘t really even count as SFF.... I guess it‘s more real-world-y, but if you‘re familiar with William Gibson, he writes everything as if he‘s describing an unknown universe. In any case, it‘s my favorite 💜

Mmmmm oatmeal and Anthony Bourdain 😉. True story: last year, I finished kitchen confidential the night before mr. bourdain passed away. Obviously just a coincidence, but it really freaked me out. The other week, I finally felt like I could enjoy all his great work without only thinking about that, and I‘m so happy to listen to this during #24in48.

Just finishing up this book after a quick nap and found the epigraph for the #hoursix #24in48 challenge. I must say I don‘t like this one as much as the previous books in the series but I can always appreciate a good Walter Mosley quote 😉 now back to reading 📚 ☕️

For #24in48 #awholenewworld challenge. Even though I live in Chicago there was so much I didn‘t know before I read this. One of my favorites of 2018 so far for sure. Ben Austen did such an amazing job interviewing residents and portraying their stories and experiences. @24in48
