Dewey's Summer Reverse Readathon UPDATE

This Dewey 24-Hour Reverse Readathon worked well with the 

Bookworm Bitches' August 2019 Read-a-Thon 

which is basically a weekend-long challenge to read as much as possible...

each and every weekend in August! 

I did end up finishing A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers, 
the second installment in her Wayfarer series.
Although this book only follows two of the Wayfarer characters from 
the first book, The Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet, 
it was just as wonderful!
Becky Chambers is one of my absolute favorite authors!
I am so anxious to read the third in this trilogy, 
Record of a Spaceborn Few.










I read further in Ties by Domenico Starnone, 
which I actually finished reading today, Sunday, August 4. 
And I am now composing my review to be posted tomorrow morning 
for the Literary Wives online book discussion group.
 
This was a uniquely formatted book. Each section reveals a different 
character's interpretation of this long-term marriage. 
Definitely a realistic depiction in many ways.

Did you participate in this readathon?

If so, what did you read? Or what have you been reading lately?

Happy reading!

Dewey's Summer Reverse Readathon

This Dewey 24-Hour Reverse Readathon will work well with the 

Bookworm Bitches' August 2019 Read-a-Thon 

which is basically a weekend-long challenge to read as much as possible...

each and every weekend in August! 

I have found that I am even more motivated to read 

just knowing I will post my progress on Monday morning! 

(Or whenever I get to it later in the week! lol) 

Here are the books I will target for this challenge:

A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers

(If I have not had time to complete reading it by then!)

I am finding it to be a very easy read, even late at night when I'm tired. 

Ties by Domenico Starnone

for the Literary Wives online book discussion group

whose next posting is scheduled for Monday, August 5!

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

for the August Popsugar Monthly Read!

The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen

for the IRL "Borders" Book Club I facilitate!

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

for an IRL book club at my favorite used bookstore!

I have been wanting to read this ever since I learned she had a second release.

I adored her debut novel, Everything I Never Told You. 

So I have plenty to choose from! 

And...I have no plans for either Saturday or Sunday this coming weekend

so I anticipate a lot of reading to be done!

Good thing, 'cause I didn't get much read this past weekend, 

though I did purchase more books at my favorite bookstore's sidewalk sale! :)

Happy reading,

~Lynn
