In no particular order, these are a few series I would still love to get to this year. Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett I’ve heard many book lovers talk about this series, and it sounds like it’s something I would enjoy. Plus, Brandon Sanderson has blurbed it stating: “The exciting beginning of a promising…

Readathons Whateverathon, or Whatever-You-Want-athon, is taking place the entire month of June. This readathon is hosted by Maddie from Book Browsing Blog on YouTube. This is the second year of the readathon. I had a lot of fun with it last year, and hope to have fun with it again this year. The teams and…
May has been a bit stressful from work stuff. In fact I was working some “overtime” the last week or two of May, even though I seem to be in a lull of stuff to do for the projects I’m responsible for. I put “overtime” in quotes because I’m salaried, so I don’t really get…
Becca’s 48-hour Bookoplathon took place over the weekend of May 21-22. This readathon is particularly special, and I’m sure stressful for Becca, because it is live on YouTube for the full 48 hours.

However, I much prefer listening to audiobooks when I run. Music makes me want to dance, and this could mess up my running cadence…
