Huge TBR Readathon Wrap-Up

The Huge TBR Readathon ended yesterday, and I'm pleased to say that I think I accomplished quite a bit! I read four books last week, which is twice the number I normally finish. Those pesky interruptions like a full-time job really get in the way sometimes. In any case, I finished the following books:

Marlena de Blasi- Amandine
Ilana Stanger-Ross- Sima's Undergarments for Women
Agatha Christie- The Moving Finger
Agatha Christie- The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

The first two are new books, which I need to review. The second two are for my Marple-Poirot-Holmes Challenge, which I had not yet started.

So, in sum, I made good progress. This was definitely a fun event, and I look forward to the next one!

Huge TBR Read-a-thon Challenge


My current TBR pile numbers around 2000 books (shhh, don't tell!) Yes, these books are all physically located in my house. I have books dripping out of all corners. My hearth has been taken over as a huge makeshift bookshelf, my spare room is pretty much book storage. Thus, this challenge is just what I need. I'm not going to get rid of any of my books once I read them, but read books do get packed away in an orderly fashion. Even more important, I want to read these books, that's why I acquired them in the first place. So I will be joining this fantastic challenge that runs this week. My goal is not set in stone, just to read as much as possible. I do have to work, but I'll do my best to read around the working hours. My strategy is to just pull anything that strikes my fancy at the time.
