Later!

Hi! The readathon starts...

 Hello there!

The Dewey's reverse readathon started three hours ago, I just got woken up by my cats for their breakfast so I thought I would join. It is six in the morning here in Finland. I opened up my computer to listen to spotify, remembered the readathon and decided to try to start reading. I am really tired though... LOL. 

Here is a link to the readathon:

It is so fun. I have decided to try to participate in some of the challenges. :) Some of them include posting pictures on instagram. Here is a link to my instagram:

This morning I am really tired, but when you gotta read you gotta read... LOL

My TBR is a bit ever-changing lol. It MIGHT be as follows:

Brandon Sanderson The Way of Kings

F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby

Charlotte Bronte: Jane Eyre

JK Rowling: Harry Potter and the half-blood prince

Stephenie Meyer: Breaking Dawn and Life and Death

... so yeah ...

I am going to switch between those. I won't probably finish any of them, except maybe Gatsby... It is short. My classics club on discord is reading it this month. I love me some good classics. I think I will like it. I also am going to listen to it at the same time.

Let's begin! :)

Reader, I am back sooner than expected lol

 Hi Everyone!

How are you? Have you been reading? What have you been reading? Do you like it? Why? :)

LOL

I am happy and hyper... I have been slipping in and out of a horrible reading slump. But it is a lot better now. I am buddy reading a book: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It is THICK. Over 1200 pages! WOW... I am now on page 602. It is really good. I just get stuck so easily. My buddy that I am reading it with is over 200 pages ahead of me.... That is bad. But I will read it nonetheless.

Books are better than people. 

Yeah. Felt the need to say that lol. Sometimes I get the urge to remind myself of the fact that even though people can be mean and weird and whatnot, books are always your friends. Mine too. They are so awesome. I wish I could read all the books on my TBR. Time would need to stretch out a bit more lol... I am getting old. I am already 40... If I read 40 + books a year, I might read the majority of books on my TBR. That would be nice. Here is my TBR:

Many I have read before and want to read again. I love me some re-reads. 

More later!

Dewey's Readathon preparations

 Hi There! 

Tonight, my time, at 3.00 a.m. the Dewey's Reverse readathon is starting. It starts for everyone at the same time, that is why it is in the middle of the night for me lol. I will probably start in the morning, because I might be asleep at 3.00 a.m. LOL. I have missed Dewey's... It is so fun. I think Dewey's readathon was one of the first things I wrote about in this blog... It was fun.

I have, not surprisingly, been in a reading slump... I am getting out of it though, that makes me happy. I have been reading Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings. It is really good. If you have or have not tried fantasy, I really recommend it to everyone. It is just so good. I like the character and the world they are in. 

Today I am going to the dentist in the late afternoon, but other than that, I will be reading hopefully a lot. Yesterday I read and listened to 70 pages of Jane Eyre, I started it, and a few chapters of The Way of Kings. 

Have a great literary weekend and hope you can participate in the readathon!
