Your blog or here! :) I don't have a blog so I use the threads that Michelle makes to state my readathon intentions.

Working from home due to the snowstorm (we got about 10 inches and it's barely snowing now, hopefully it's done) so I ended up finishing listening to . It was a really good middle grade fantasy novel. Now I'm listening to another NetGalley audio ARC .

Sweet!! Ok so my intentions for the ReadAThon are to finish book 5 of the Skullduggery Pleasant series, then read books 6 - 9 (inclusive) before moving on to one of Conn Iggulden’s series. I read books 1 - 4 in January but maybe I can get the remaining done this month... we’ll have to see x

Just finished my first book for the RAT!! Skullduggery Pleasant #5 Mortal Coil by Derek Landy.

On to my next book Skullduggery Pleasant #6 Death Bringer by Derek Landy

I listened to on Tuesday while working from home during a snowstorm. Then I listened to which I finished yesterday and now I'm listening to .
I finished reading yesterday and read today and now I'm reading .

I finished listening to and finished reading yesterday.
I started reading yesterday.
I started listening to today.
It was the 24in48 Readathon this weekend so I read a lot and I did manage the 24 hours!

Finished:
Started:
Taking a (hopefully) quick break from:

Looks like a lot of great reading going on. Keep it up!

The prize page is posted...link in the top of this thread.

Now I'll share what I'm reading....

My six month read-along (section 2 for the RAL):
My book club book for Feb:

Going to start this, as the series starts this weekend (it's gigantic so no way I'll finish it before the first few episodes, at least!):
And this one before the Netflix series (movie?) on Feb 17:

The rest:

We shall see how it goes. :)

I've been listening to but I've moved offices at work and now I'm alone so I can listen to audiobooks all day! Woohoo! But that means I can't listen to anything that I have to pay 100% attention to. Which you have to for The City We Became.
So I started listening to . Nonfic/biographies are easier to half-listen to because you're not really listening to a story, you won't miss anything critical. And I'll continue with The City We Became during my commutes/errands/cooking.
I'm almost done reading which published yesterday. It's really good!
