readingtogetherWell, that was a pleasingly positive response - let's do this thing!
Checkins will be on Fridays except for the final one which will be a Saturday! As ever, there are no penalties for checking in late, missing a check-in or not making your target. It's all about encouraging each other to read more than we would have otherwise. If you've got a list or a target, feel free to share it in the comments below!
And most importantly, have fun! As much as one of the core ideas of this challenge is to get unread/half-read books read, life's too short to read bad books/books that aren't right for you, so don't keep slogging away at one book you're not enjoying - unless it's, you know, homework, in which case tell us and we'll up the cheerleading - just because you've listed it when you could be spending that time reading something else you'd enjoy.

Date: 2024-11-02 03:36 am (UTC)Cheap Land Colorado: Off-Gridders at America's Edge, by Ted Conover
Caleb Williams, by William Godwin
To Shape a Dragon's Breath, by Moniquill Blackgoose (really looking forward to this!)
to read for book groups this month.
But I've got
The absolute book / Elizabeth Knox.
Walk : slow down, wake up, and connect at 1-3 miles per hour / Jonathon Stalls
The porpoise : a novel / Mark Haddon.
We solve murders : a novel / Richard Osman
that are all already overdue at the library. I should just return the library books and get back on their waitlists, but it's so hard to let go of a book when I have started it but haven't finished it!
