High Summer Readathon Wrap-up

Seasons Reading

I did really well this July! I petered out a bit toward the end with a big vacation in the middle but I read 10 books! And none were the ones I was planning on in my sign-up post! Ha! Such is the life of a reader...

I finished:

1. People Who Eat Darkness: The Fate of Lucie Blackman by Richard Lloyd Parry

2. Silent City by Alex Segura

3. The Epic Failure of Arturo Zamora by Pablo Cartaya

4. Bingo Love by Tee Franklin

5. Down the Darkest Street by Alex Segura

6. Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

7. The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg

8. Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl

9. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte

10. Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline, or How I Learned About Life and Love With a Blind Wonder Cat by Gwen Cooper

2 non-fiction, one short story collection, 2 mystery-crime novels, 3 young adult books, one classic, and one graphic novel.

Some of these I started before July but I finished them in July so I'm counting them!

High Summer Readathon 2018

Seasons Reading

Michelle over at Seasons of Reading is hosting another readathon for July, all month long! Just grab a book or two or more and get going on that ever-piling-up TBR stack. She's also hosting a Christmas in July for the last four days of the month. Christmas can never come too early...!

I always have quite a stack to choose from but here are my official goals for July:

1. Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

I've heard all the good things about this series and now that the movie is coming out in August, I figure I will get it read before I see the movie!

2. The Overstory by Richard Powers

It's a big book but I'm hoping if I plan accordingly I can make it through in July. I've been attracted to books about nature this spring and summer and this one looks right up my alley.

3. Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover

I just picked this one up on audiobook so I'm hoping to finish this the first week of July.

I'll do really well to get through these but here are some back ups if I have time or find a way to fit them in in between my other books:

4. The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks by Terry Tempest Williams

5. Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes

6. Lucky Broken Girl by Ruth Behar

7. Hardscrabble by Sandra Dallas

8. Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
