Here is how I stand so far with my original goals for the read-a-thon:
- Read three titles for Fumbling Through Fantasy.
One read (The Gammage Cup), two to go (The Thief and Return of the Twelves). - Read one Old School Sunday title.
None read so far, several on my to-read list - Read my 1960s and 1970s titles for Newbery Through the Decades.
Read both (The Gammage Cup for the 60s, Summer of the Swans for the 70s.) I also read my 80s title (On My Honor). - Read ARCs for middle grade books coming out in June and July.
Four read (Every Single Second, How to Almost Ruin Your Summer, Macarons at Midnight, Dumbness is a Dish Best Served Cold), two to go (The World from Up Here and Lucky Strikes) - Read ARCs of chapter books coming out in June and July.
Five read (Slingshot and Burp, Where Are You Going, Baby Lincoln?, Pearl's Ocean Magic, Meet the Bobs and Tweets, and Piper Green and the Fairy Tree: The Sea Pony), one to go (Jess's Story) - Read all the YA ARCs I currently have.
Three read (Anything You Want, This is My Brain on Boys, and The Leaving), two to go (Summer Days & Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories and It's Not Me, It's You).
Katie I think most of us just get in there whenever we can with reading too LOL I do hope that one day I can just read non-stop day in and day out but I think my 2 kids, (fyi one is older than me) will EVENTUALLY need attention!!!!
