Read Elevation, I hope to.

1. The September House"

No way! It can't be possible that you have an extensive TBR. lol
I know you will enjoy every one. I WISH I could read as much as you do. :)

By the way, check your email. I hit a snag with last readathon's charity donation.

Bummer! It will be a while before I read it, but hoping Mom will get it for me for my birthday. :)
I'm going to get it for her for Christmas.

Let me know which one you end up reading.

I finished yesterday. Heavyyyy book. I started reading/listening to and reading today. I'm hoping to pick up by the weekend! I'm waiting for my new (to me) copy of Wizard and Glass to be delivered. We had our dog's grandfather visit for a few months last year and he took umbrage with Mr. King and peed on some of his books that I had on my library floor for Instagram photos. 😫 And I just discovered on Sunday that Wizard and Glass was also one of them so in the trash it went and I bought a used copy on Pango Books for $6 (including shipping).

I still haven't got around to reading The Year of the Witching, but I loved The Burning Girls.

Oh man...that sucks!
I'm only on Book 3 of The Dark Tower series. So many books, so little time!

I finished on Friday and last night. I'm hoping to start today.

I haven't started yet because I've got a non-scary book to finish before tomorrow. But I did listen to Sunday to Monday as it was also due back tomorrow.

How did you like The Burning Girls?
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorites. I visited Sleepy Hollow in 2021. We took a short detour there on our way to Salem, MA, and we also visited the Lizzie Borden house in Fall River. It was a fun trip.

How was Such Sharp Teeth? I've seen it around, but haven't read much about it.

Well, folks...I completely dropped the ball on the charity giveaway. I forgot to set the Google form to "accepting responses." I apologize to anyone who tried to enter. Here's the link again. I will leave it open until the end of the readathon. So sorry!

Hope you're enjoying the readathon!

Anyone participating in Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon on Saturday? I'm hoping to get a lot of reading in. I haven't read half the scary I wanted to this month.

Yes of course! I haven't missed one since I started participating in 2017! 😎 Though in the future they will definitely be much lower key since I will have my little one in January. But you bet I'm going to make sure hubby knows that Dewey's are sacred me-time! I mean, he already knows this. lol

Congratulations 🎊 on your upcoming Blessed Event!

Thank you Mallory!

Thank you Erika!

Since mid-event check-in, I've read
And I'm currently reading

Yes, not all King books are strictly horror but I don't feel like figuring out whether they fit or not. There's almost always horrific elements to them.

I finished . Haven't touched . But I started today!

Great job, Elyse! How was Holly? I just posted the final discussion on the If It Bleeds and Rat novellas. Really loved the book.

Thanks for joining in on another readathon. :)

I really enjoyed Holly! Though the real-life timeframe of Covid was a bit much for me. Too soon. lol.

Good to know! I will try to mentally prepare myself. lol
