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!

What are you reading this week?
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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
DeleteI didn't realize the read-a-thon was this weekend. One year, I will do it.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine
It's a lot of fun! The next Dewey's Readathon is in October.
DeleteI love the read a thon. I gave up around 10 pm... TIRED :)
ReplyDeleteI have to imagine that you were even more tired than the rest of us because of all your hosting work!
DeleteI hope you love the Chaos Walking series as much as I did. Daughter's wedding planning interrupted my RAT plans. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it! I hope you have a great week too. :)
DeleteThe Chaos Walking series is supposed to be amazing (but still sits on my TBR list). Hope you enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
There are just too many books, aren't there?? Have a great week!
DeleteI'm envious you got to take part in the read-a-thon! Life After life and Fever are such great books too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!

I didn't get to read as much as I wanted, but it was still fun. It's always nice to get in a little extra reading time. :)
DeleteChaos Walking is definitely on my TBR list. I enjoyed his A Monster Calls. I also like Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
DeleteOne day I shall read some Patrick Ness, I've heard great things! :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I hope you enjoy them when you get to read them!
DeleteI 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... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
My Reading Week
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!
DeleteI 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!)
ReplyDeleteFever is really good. I hope you get the chance to read it! I think I'm starting to get back into a normal sleep pattern, thank goodness!
DeleteDefinitely catch up on your sleep--that's very important. I'm glad you had fun with the readathon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi!
DeleteI didn't do the readathon this weekend, but did get some good reading time in anyway!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week and catch up on some sleep before baby comes!
~Kristin @ Always With a Book
Thank goodness for weekends, right? I hope you have a wonderful week too!
DeleteI can't wait to hear what you thought of Life After Life and Fever :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I'm STILL exhausted. I can't imagine how tired you must be...zzzzz! Get some rest and try to get back to a normal schedule :)
Well, in a nutshell, loved and loved! :)
DeleteI think I'm finally starting to feel like myself again (with the help of my trusty coffee cup). I hope you get there soon!
I loved Knife Of Never Letting Go and Stardust is one of my favorite books. I'm waiting for my sister to finish Life After Life so I can borrow it! Happy reading this week :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I've Been Reading!
Tell her to read faster! :) I love sharing books with my family members - you know you always have someone to discuss them with!
DeleteGlad to hear you had a good read-a-thon this weekend, besides the exhaustion that is!
ReplyDeleteThe Knife of Never Letting Go has caught my eye... Perhaps we'll see a review?
Enjoy your reads this week :-)
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!
