[WEEKEND READS] where I participated in Dewey's #readathon and did a bit of Kindle cleaning

Hi,

So Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon happened and while work kind of interrupted the end of my readathon, I still think it was a success. I read almost the entire half of the readathon duration. And I finished 1 book then I cheated and did an extended readathon because, as I said, work interrupted me. I finished 1 more book then caught up with my buddy read book.

So all in all, I got through a total of 421 pages. I juggled among 4 books and ultimately finishing 2 of them. 1 of those I didn't finish is an ebook and I'm still far from finishing that one and the other 1 is my buddy read book which I had to stop because we still need to discuss that. BUT as I said last week, I did take videos of me reading so I'll have my actual wrapup for that probably next weekend of something. idk since I'm actually not a fan of video editing. lmao.

#readathon tbr. probably gonna change as i read but i'll try to get through maybe 2 or 3 of these 😅 pic.twitter.com/wolp285JDW

I kind of want to do a month 24 Hour Readathon for me but I also need to find a good schedule for that because clearly there's are things to do other than read.

On other things, I cleaned my Kindle and Goodreads "ebook-own" shelf. It's basically my Goodreads shelf that has all the Kindle ebooks I have. It supposed to basically have Kindle ebooks I acquire, review copies are excluded (they're on another shelf). And during the first month of downloading my Kindle App, I ended up downloading A LOT of free books on the Amazon Kindle store. So I got about 190+ Kindle ebooks and most of them I never really opened or downloaded on my device.

So after my shelf cleaning, I got 90% of those ebooks deleted permanently (I'm sorry indie authors) and generally kept books I actually bought which closed down to 68 Kindle Ebooks. Some of them were still free stuff but they're ones that I somehow really considered reading
😅

current reads

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle | Stuart Turton
I'm over 300 pages now! I have so much thoughts! so much questions! so much theories! I am really enjoying this book! I think that it's been a while since I really read a whodunit mystery. 

The Weight on Skin (Red #2) | Beena Khan
I've been reading this for quite a while now and while I genuinely enjoyed the first book of this series, I had my issues with it. But I still lowkey recommend it because it was good and the bookish characters were adorable. BUT this one... this one just isn't working out for me generally because the tone felt different, there's much more physical romance which isn't my type of read and there's also an odd hallucination in which the main character can actually physically interact with and feels really off for me.
