Wow, I think it’s Hour 11 now! Just finished my second book of the #readathon, A LITTLE TOO FAMILIAR by Lish McBride. Cozy paranormal romance with an excellent found family! I’ll definitely be checking out the sequel. Now, what to read next? 🤔 #deweysreadathon #deweysoctober2023

Finished my first book of the #readathon, IT HAPPENED ONE FIGHT. Loved all the little nods to classic Hollywood, especially the throwaway line “It’s all in the wrist,” which I’m convinced was a deliberate “Sabrina” reference! #deweysreadathon

It’s #readathon day! I opted to sleep in a bit (because it’s my special day lol), so I haven’t started reading yet, but I’m excited to get going! My first book will be IT HAPPENED ONE FIGHT by Maureen Lee Lenker. #deweysreadathon #deweysoctober2023

Woohoo, #deweysreadathon is tomorrow! I’ve cleared my whole day and am super excited. 😁 Already have my book stack ready—I went with a mix of light reads and moody fall vibes. @readathon

Welp, I ended up watching a movie this evening, which cut into my reading time, and I’m heading to bed soon. But I read 2.5 books this #readathon and spent the day exactly as I wanted to, so I’m calling it a win! To those still reading, good luck and have fun!

Guys, I really loved A Lady Awakened! Second #readathon choice was a great success! Now I’m taking a walk and enjoying the nice weather (and giving my eyes a break) before starting my third book.

One book and 147 pages down! Now I’m starting A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant—the online sample sucked me in! #readathon

If you love Stephen King, a #TBTBSanta box might be heading your way!

I found myself with some extra time today, so of course I started wrapping #TBTBSanta gifts! Hint: my Santee is on mountain time. 🏔
