Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: TBR stack, April 2019

My weekend is completely booked...uh, no pun intended.  This is all happening tomorrow:
  • Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon - one of my favorite events of the year
  • Ruth's Rights of Woman Readathon - reading/writing thoughts
  • Working on the ending of my book (it's coming along)
  • Sending part I of my book to readers (thank you again!!)


Here's the lineup for the readathon (books I'll be making progress on, not necessarily finishing).  As always, I'll be posting updates to Instagram and Goodreads.

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman / Mary Wollstonecraft
The Making of a Manager / Julie Zhuo
The Lost City of Z / David Grann
The Time Machine (reread) / H. G. Wells
Ben-Hur / Lew Wallace

And anything else I can muster.  But that's probably stretching it as it is.

Well, I'm not participating in the Read-a-thon...

but I'll be reading more of Ben-Hur this weekend, too!

And I need to get questions up for Vindication on Sunday.

Enjoy your reading!!

This book could not have had a more promising premise.  I've raved about the nuances of Empire of the Sun (another story about an English boy in Shanghai), and I know Ishiguro can be incredibly subtle .  I also love a good mystery with a Sherlock Holmesian characte...

My First Classics Club List

Image
So...contrary to my past practices, I am starting to embrace epic challenges.  Before this enthusiasm leaves me, I've decided to finally join The Classics Club and commit to reading 50 classics within five years. It's a pretty reasonable goal (ten classics a year), since I mostly read classics anyway.  But I'm making it more difficult by including some chunksters and books I've been putting off for years and some that fall under both (*cough* War and Peace ).  I also threw in some rereads that I keep meaning to return to.  The list also came out to 52 instead of 50 (sigh), but I'm only committing to 50.
