I mentioned in my introductory post (i think) that it was really weird starting Readathon at 3pm in the afternoon – but after 8 hours, I think I could get used to it. If I was at home, then hour 8 would be around 4pm and the long night would look so daunting ahead (especially at hours 18-24) – but right now, its 11pm and I’m still going strong. Although this could be because I pretty much slept the day away until festivities kicked off….

In hours 5-8, I finished listening (with minutes to spare in hour 8) to Plan for the Worst (Jodi Taylor) – after 11 books in the series, I didn’t think Ms Taylor was going to be able to surprise me, but i didn’t see that reveal coming. Now I have to wait for book 12 which doesn’t come out until next year (insert stamping feet temper tantrum). I started The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 (Garrett M. Graff) – I still remember where I was on 9/11 (A freshman in college at Virginia Tech) – so its a) hard to believe that its been nearly 20 years and b) still very shocking to read some of the memories of the day (from transcripts of calls from the planes; to memories of key political figures at the time and the every day workers in the World Trade Centers). I’m attempting to listen to the audiobook of His Only Wife (Peace Adzo Medie) – this is Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine book of the month for October – I had previously tried to read it but didn’t get very far – so hoping the audiobook is better. I also made some progress on Joe Rochfort’s War (Elliot Carlson) – I’ve been reading this at like a chapter a night, but readathon is a good way to make some more progress. And finally, I made some more progress on Sleep Tight (Anne Fraiser); as well as starting Take Two (Mia Masters/R.Ramsey).
