frankie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm looking forward to this month's read-a-thon, as opposed to the previous ones, I have nothing planned for this weekend I'm going to just relax and read, and I've got just the book for that: This Is Life by Dan Rhodes!

Nollaig Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's a bank holiday this weekend in Ireland, and I'm not planning on going to my parents, or outside in general, as its too hot, so I may try read-a-thoning I have a couple of ideas for creepy/horror/thrillers I want to read so I might tackle those. Anna, The Butterfly Garden sounds interesting, though there are a lot of allegations of it being compelling moreso than good! Still, I may add it to my list this weekend!

Athena Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Nice progress! I hope you enjoy the whole book. I think it takes place in Paris? I looked up the cover, it looked quite pretty. Happy reading, everyone ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy reading, everyone ! It does take place in Paris, which I find a bit odd as the author is British, but I'm very much liking the French factor anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I should be able to join in this weekend, making a start this afternoon. Feels like ages since I took part in a read-a-thon, and looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you can get some reading in. Next to inclement weather, really hot weather is my favorite reading weather. How hot is it there?

Nollaig Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Happy holiday weekend! I hope you can get some reading in. Next to inclement weather, really hot weather is my favorite reading weather. How hot is it there? 22-23 degrees celsius. Bear in mind, I am Irish. I am not built for heat. To me, 12/13 degrees is comfortable, or 15/16 with a cool breeze.

My husband is Irish ancestry (2nd generation here.) He dies if the a/c in the house is set above 72. Truth be told, he'd rather have it at 65. It's a constant struggle over the thermostat.
