Well, the new year got busy immediately! This means I haven’t done the final tally yet for #BacklogReadathon —so there’s more time to share your final reading stats.

If you read with us between Dec 26-31, please share your reading in this short survey by EOD Jan 12! https://forms.gle/HgKSkrAqHVYLQnuh7

Happy New Year! 🥳 Wishing everyone a wonderful 2025.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in #BacklogReadathon; you made my little whim fun! Please head over to the form linked on https://backlogreadathon.com to share what you read, and I’ll tally up our collective reads 📚

@aardrian was so happy when that update came through on The StoryGraph! They have a great little team.

The #BacklogReadathon gave me the extra push for the last week of 2024.

Incidentally, I use The StoryGraph (https://thestorygraph.com/) to track my reading. It’s not Amazon, it’s run by book nerds who are nice people, and it’s a web app. Plus it just added a feature to pause a read to spare my reading time stats.

It’s the final day of #BacklogReadathon! Wishing everyone some comfy final hours of reading before the new year. When you’re done, head over to the form on https://backlogreadathon.com to share what you’ve read.

How is everyone spending NYE? What books and other plans does the day have in store?

Today is the penultimate day of #BacklogReadathon!

The survey form linked on https://www.backlogreadathon.com/ is now open, in case anyone is calling it early and wants to share what they read. The form will close late in the day (West Coast US) on Jan 05.

Day 4 of #BacklogReadathon! What are some favorite books you read this year?

For me:

- “How Far the Light Reaches”by Sabrina Imbler, on audiobook
- “Meditations for Mortals” by Oliver Burkeman
- “The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches” by Sangu Mandanna

Day 3 of #BacklogReadathon! What genres is everyone reading around this time of year? How does your reading change (or not) seasonally?

Day 2 of #BacklogReadathon! What books tend to end up on everyone’s backlog?

For me, chunky or emotionally heavy books. But also, library holds from Libby: no matter when I place a hold, they all become available around the same time. —Melanie

What book is everyone starting with?

I’m a little over halfway through “Beautiful Ugly” by Alice Feeney. Hoping to finish in the next couple days so I can pass it along to my mom. — Melanie

#BacklogReadathon will run Dec 26-31. Follow @backlogreadathon if you want to play along!
