The August readathon was a little 😴, so we'll stick to an end of year #readathon! Volume II coming up in late December, mark your calendars: www.backlogreadathon.com/

Hanging out a neighborhood patio that we like to read at, for the penultimate day of #BacklogReadathon. Where’s your favorite place to read? #readathon #booksky

Coffee and a book in the morning, an unbeatable combo. What snacks or beverages do you enjoy with your reading? #BacklogReadathon #readathon

This August iteration of #BacklogReadathon finds me busier (i.e. at work) than the December #readathon.

When do you like to find time for reading on busy days, when you don't control much of your schedule?

Kicked off @backlogreadathon.com today, so there’s plenty of time to join us in reading your TBR stacks!

I’m hoping to finish these two books in pursuit of SPL’s Summer Book Bingo. Still getting over an illness from last week so we’ll see how far I get #BacklogReadathon #readathon

Two more weeks until our end-of-season #readathon kicks off!

For this second installment of #BacklogReadathon, I’ll be diving into a chonky vampire book: “Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil” by V.E. Schwab. 🧛🏻‍♀️ How about you?

#BacklogReadathon gave me the extra push for last week of 2024.

Incidentally, I use The StoryGraph (thestorygraph.com) to track my reading. It’s not Amazon, it’s run by book nerds who are nice people, and it’s a web app. Plus it just added a feature to pause a read to spare my reading time stats.
