It's Monday and we have readathoned...


Hey friends. How are you? Did you readathon this weekend? I did and now I am one tired Lindsey. Did you have a great time? How many books did you read? Are you utterly exhausted? I think it's time for me to get back to a semblance of a normal schedule...at least until baby decides to make her debut and completely turn it on its head!

  1. I don't read too much YA, but Patrick Ness seems to be an exception for me. I really liked The Knife of Never Letting Go (the whole series, really) and A Monster Calls.

    1. I'm glad you like his writing so much! I was perusing the YA section for something for readathon and remembered I had heard great things about Ness.

    1. I have to imagine that you were even more tired than the rest of us because of all your hosting work!

  4. I hope you love the Chaos Walking series as much as I did. Daughter's wedding planning interrupted my RAT plans. Have a great week.

    1. I've heard such great things about both Ness and Gladwell. I don't know that I will get to both of them this week, though. I'm a bit behind on writing reviews!

  9. I loved Stardust - read it years ago. The movie was great also. I've been wanting to read something different lately, maybe I'll find my old copy and re-read it... :)

    Have a great week

    1. I've heard good things about the movie. I should check it out - maybe it would be a good choice while I'm on maternity leave!

  10. I really want to read Fever! I've heard great things about it! I'll also be curious to hear your thoughts on Blink. I've read Outliers but haven't read any other Gladwell books. Hope you have a great week (and recover some of the lost rest from the readathon!)

  11. Definitely catch up on your sleep--that's very important. I'm glad you had fun with the readathon.

    1. Well, in a nutshell, loved and loved! :)

      I think I'm finally starting to feel like myself again (with the help of my trusty coffee cup). I hope you get there soon!

  15. Glad to hear you had a good read-a-thon this weekend, besides the exhaustion that is!
    The Knife of Never Letting Go has caught my eye... Perhaps we'll see a review?

    1. I will definitely be reviewing it at some point. :) I try to review everything, but it's really for my own good. Otherwise I can never remember what I thought!
