Excuse-to-read Readathon

Monday, 27 July 2015


Basically the #Excusetoread readathon is a week of reading just for the sake of it - no pressure, just making time to read and getting that TBR pile down! Thanks so much to authors Jessica L. Brooks and Cheyanne Young for setting it up :)

Personally, I'm not going to be all too ambitious since as of today my exam block has started...but here are a few I hope to read from now until 4th August:


Look out for updates on my progress here, on twitter or instagram!

  1. Reading Spark as you have all been so vocal about how awesome the series is (plus author is a fellow Kiwi, yay) - hope Stray is just as great :D

    Enjoy reading!

  5. I will need to join this one, too! My TBR pile is getting longer and longer and I'm kind of scared how big it has become and how I'm going to try to read them all O_O But hey, I was able to finish a book today and another one yesterday so there's that ;) I was 6 books behind yesterday and today I'm only 4 books behind :D Good luck with your TBR pile, Eugenia! DEFEAT THE TBR PILE!!!

  8. What a great idea for the readathon! I just picked up Stray (as I said in the other comment). All of these books are on my TBR as well. I liked Dumplin but didn't love it - keen to hear what you think!
