The fine folks over at 24in48 are hosting an informal readathon this weekend. No prizes or time proofs, just a good old fashioned reading session.
I planned to read a lot more than I have so far and it's a good thing no time proofs are needed. I tripped and fell on Friday and broke a bone. Between that and the general weirdness of the days, I'm a bit out of it and haven't been keeping track of my reading time.
I did finish a book, though. Here's my review of The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe.
Why I picked it up: I like memoirs and books about books, so this one definitely caught my eye.
Why I kept reading: Schwalbe quickly drew me into his mother's life and world. I enjoyed getting to her and "sharing in" their book discussions.
In the end: I loved this book. I got to know a really interesting person and it made me recall memories of my own mother's last days and our last times together.
Highly recommend!
Now, on to the next read. It's going to be a picture book because A) that's what's next on my shelf and B) I want to finish at least one more book during this challenge!
Happy Reading, all.
