Dewey’s Reverse Readathon July 2023

It’s time for another Dewey’s Readathon. This one is the July Reverse Readathon. It starts at 8 pm Friday night and goes until 8 pm Saturday night. Looking forward to this one! I got a whole bunch of yummy snacks. But realized I didn’t get much real food ha ha.

I have two different TBR piles. One is the books I am already reading and the other one is books I have not started yet. This is a VERY ambitious TBR and I probably won’t get through half of them. These are the books I have already started:

These are the books I want to read if I have time or DNF another book:

1:00 am

Well my body is telling me it is time to nap so I am going to listen! I finished my first book, The Housekeepers. It was a solid three star read. I also broke into my snacks. Ironically the popcorn was also three stars 🤣

I also got through about 60 pages of Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegmund-Broka. I am loving this book. I am a sucker for books set in a theatre setting whether they be YA or adult.

11:00 am

Well I slept all night and woke up at 8 am which I probably needed so I won’t get close to 24 hours but that’s ok! I made my traditional Readathon cinnamon rolls and they were so good! Also, I totally GET the hype about this Lucy Score book. It is fantastic so far!

I am also reading a physical and audiobook of Lisa Scottoline’s new book, Loyalty. Lately I have been really enjoying reading books this way. Especially if I can get one or both of the versions from the library. When people ask me how I read so many books in a month this is a big reason why.

5:00 pm

Well I took another nap. I am just so tired today but it’s ok.

Things We Never Got Over is so good. This is one of those books I have been putting off because I was afraid that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. But I am really enjoying it. It’s funny and has found family and the romance is so good. I love, love books set in a small town with a strong cast of side characters. I also ate the most amazing sea chocolate caramels. They are Target brand and wow they are amazing!

Another successful Dewey’s in the books. It was a lovely day to read as it rained most of the day. I enjoyed it as I also got more sleep than usual!

I finished Always Never Yours and I loved this book so much. The Shakespeare theme was excellant in this one and I enjoyed the friendships and romance in this book as well.
