Dewey's 24 Hour Reverse Readathon (7 August 2021)

I'm taking part in Dewey's 24 Hour Reverse Readathon so this post will be routinely updated with my progress. I've never done a 24-hour readathon before so I honestly don't know how well I'll do. It also starts at 1 am for me so not sure when I'll be able to join... And since signing up I've been invited on a day out to another city with my parents and nephew so this probably isn't going to go well at all. Hopefully, I'll manage some reading on the train though.

Opening Survey:
What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Scotland
Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Carrie, Steven King
Which snack are you most looking forward to? I've no snacks planned as I will be out the house most of the day now.
Tell us a little something about yourself. I'll try reading pretty much anything. Dog mum, Scottish, WFH for the last 18 months.
If you participated in the last readathon, what's one thing you'll do different today? If this is your first readathon, what are you most looking forward to? This is my first readathon and I was hoping to get through a few books, now that I have plans we'll just need to see how I do...

  1. Interesting concept to have a readathon. I don't think my life is organized enough to try this, but it sure looks tempting. I'll be interested in your progress.

    1. I didn't think I was going to do as well as I did. It's definitely worth planning for, I had so many back-up books depending on my mood. I think I'm going to try at least once more and hopefully it falls on a day where I have no plans crop up.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel fre...
