Dewey’s Readathon April 2023
I wasn’t going to participate this time because I really feel like lack of sleep isn’t good for me these days. But I have decided to participate anyway with the knowledge that I won’t complete anywhere near the reading time I usually do. My goal is to finish up the (many) books I am currently reading and then start The Fourth Wing.
You can follow my journey on this blog. Also, just a side note I deleted my Twitter account so you can no longer find me there. I am on Instagram and BookTok as ReadingSusan.

Four hours in! It’s been a lovely morning of reading. I am enjoying all the books I am reading. I am listening to and reading a print copy of Not the Witch You Wed. This is a funny supernatural tale about a witch and shifter and fake dating which is may favorite!
I am also reading the upcoming Riley Sager book The Only One Left. This one is creepy and atmospheric. Really enjoying it.

I did take a nap at some point during this block of time because I was really, really tired. It’s been a long week!
I finished my first book, Lunar Love. This was a fun rivals to lovers book. I love the juxtaposition between traditional match making and a dating app. I do wish it hadn’t wrapped up so quickly.
It has been so wonderful having a relaxing Saturday reading and snuggling with my cat!

What a lovely evening of reading. I listened to classical music while it rained. It feels really peaceful and relaxing!
I finished The Only One Left by Riley Sager. This book was fantastic!! The atmosphere was so tense and the house was a character on its own. The multiple twists & turns were delightful! I really loved this one. This may be my favorite of his. This book will be released on June 20th.
I also finished Not the Witch You Wed by April Asher. I LOVED this witchy and supernatural tale! I really appreciate a book where all the magic is out in the open because magical secrecy can get kind of old. Violet and Linc are a delightful couple. I look forward to reading more books in this series! I may need to start the second one tonight.

I think it is time I called it a night. My dog has been sick so I am sleep deprived this week so not able to try for the 24 hours this time.
My eyes got a little tired so I went and purchased the 1619 Project audiobook so I could switch it off with the print version I am reading.
I started the Fourth Wing ARC and wow it is fantastic. It comes out on Tuesday and I didn’t realize it was so soon. May 2nd is going to be a good day for new releases!

It started storming really bad so I woke up to soothe my dog. And now I have two hours to read before the Readathon is over! I will check in and do a wrap up after it’s over!
