The readathon is over, Long Live the Readathon!
If stopping cold-turkey is unthinkable, and you want to keep reading as if the readathon might never end, here's a whole extra week of reading. Check out the bingo boards on discord or facebook, the discussions and activities on here and in discord, and track your reading from now through the end of next weekend. You can set a new TBR, or try to finish some of the books you didn't quite get to during the readathon itself.

I'm gonna use the time and space theme bingo boards from this readathon, plus the color board from July, for November, since the official Nonfiction November only has 4 prompts. So this week I think I'll start on the color board.

The Beckoning Lady
Hide My Eyes
The China Governess
Cargo of Eagles

The Beckoning Lady (Albert Campion Mystery, #15) by Margery Allingham Hide My Eyes by Margery Allingham The China Governess (Albert Campion Mystery, #17) by Margery Allingham Cargo of Eagles (Albert Campion Mystery, #19) by Margery Allingham

Vavita | 159 comments I will not plan anything for this week. I have a lot of work and as it is a week free of school, I want to spend time with my son. I will try at least to finish From Below

Lolita | 54 comments I finished The Ancestor by Danielle Trussoni yesterday and started The Master of Ballantrae by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Also (almost forgot), I'd like to thank everyone who made last weekend's readathon possible.

Vanessa Dargain | 503 comments Fantastic idea Jamie . I can use cool down week to help me make more progress in this thick book I'm reading . Yesterday's Readathon helped quite a bit .

Vavita | 159 comments Cool down update: I finished From Below.
It was a lot of fun! Not scary but, as I don’t like being underwater, it gave a creepy feeling anyway. I will concentrate my time reading The Unmothers over the weekend.

I started and finished reading
All Around the Moon by Jules Verne. Sometimes laugh-out funny. Sometimes the conjectures were correct. 3 1/2 stars.

Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench 3 or 3 1/2 stars.
