It’s time for another #24in48 Readathon! I had a lot of fun participating in the Readathon back in January, and am looking forward to getting involved again this weekend.
If you’re new to 24in48, this is the basic gist: beginning at 12:01am on Saturday morning and running through 11:59pm on Sunday night, participants read for 24 hours out of that 48-hour period. You can split that up however you’d like: 20 hours on Saturday, four hours on Sunday; 12 hours each day; six four-hour sessions with four hour breaks in between, whatever you’d like.
This round of #24in48 will take place from July 21-July 22. Here are the books I’m planning to choose from:
-I’ll be traveling on Saturday, and plan to listen to the audiobook of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It’s been a while since I’ve read this lovely novel, and I’ve forgotten a lot of the details. I’m excited to revisit it before the adaptation is released on Netflix next month!
-I’m very excited to start Circe by Madeline Miller, and I may dip into The Seven 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton and/or The Lido by Libby Page. All three are downloaded to my Kindle app, and the latter two are also NetGalley eARCs.
-As for physical books, I hope to read some more of Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain. I’m absolutely loving this memoir but just can’t seem to read very much of it at once. I had hoped to have finished it by now, but as long as I complete it by the end of the summer, I’m fine with it. There’s a slight chance I’ll pick up Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson as well. Since I read Atkinson’s Behind the Scenes of the Museum during the last #24in48, this would be a fun addition.
Have you read any of these titles? Will you be participating in this round of #24in48?

Testament of Youth sounds interesting!

It’s interesting, heartbreaking, and very powerful. I’m really enjoying it and would highly recommend it. I’ve decided to just take my time with it though, since it’s not one I seem to be able to read too much of at once.

Thanks, Karen! It wasn’t quite as productive of a readathon as I had hoped, but still an enjoyable one!

I’ve only read the Guernsey Literary one, which I enjoyed. But I have Circe on my list to read someday. Have fun with the readathon!

I haven’t read any of these yet, but I’ve heard good things about Circe. Everybody seems to love it.
I hope your readadthon is going well! I work Saturdays, so I wasn’t able to participate.

Thanks so much! It was a fun readathon, even if I didn’t get quite as much reading in as I had hoped. I absolutely loved Circe and hope you do too if/when you pick it up!
