It's a Readathon Post

Hey Reader Friends! I hope you're all doing well - the days are long, right?  Anyway, in case you didn't know, this weekend is the Dewey's 24 hour Readathon!  It's been a while since I've done a Dewey's Readathon.  So, I thought I'd join in for this weekend and try to use this time to get myself out of this reading slump I've been in this month.

In addition to that, I am also in the midst of a 48 in 96 hour readathon that started yesterday!  So, It's been a good readathon week.

Now, since you're here to see what I'm trying to attempt to read through - here's my TBR:

To List It Out, That's:

*Main Street
*The Wedding Party
*The Proposal
*I am C-3PO
*The Wedding Date
*The Belles
*Children of Virtue and Vengeance
*Carrie Fisher: A Live on The Edge
*Ruin and Rising
*Truthwitch
*Magyk
*Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets


Okay reader friends - your turn! What are you reading right now?  Are you doing any readathons during this quarantine time? Let me know in the comments! Happy Reading!

Kids Reads

(I know he has many more books - these are just the series I am familiar with/have read.)

Isolation Reads

Hey reader friends.  So there's this thing going around, and we're all locked down or being told to shelter in place, practice social distancing, stay home, etc.  SO, for everyone who is spending a lot more time at home - you're probably looking for stuff to do.  When I don't *have* to go to work, I'm doing some crafting and reading.  So, I have a lot of books in my home right now.  Here are some books I hope to get through since I have a lot of time to fill while I'm sitting around home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, reader friends, your turn - what do you have in your TBR piles right now! Tell me in the comments below.  Feel free to leave links to your blogs or booktube channels if you're talking about it there!

During the Buddy Read Along, we'll also have group discussions after each book, but we'll have a discussion with each other about when we want to do those!  That way we can have as many people involved in the group discussions with each other.

If you are interested in joining The Book Nerd Discord Group, we will have a chat in that group specifically for the read along - here's the invite to join: https://discord.gg/jFf4VN

If you'd rather join us in our messenger group chat - find me on Facebook at The Book Nerd, and I will add you to the group chat!
