I totally forgot but the December read-a-thon is originally scheduled for this weekend

 

I’ll be reading Ransom Riggs’ Library of Souls and there’s a good chance I’ll finish Silence too.

I've been wrestling with Nietzsche all weekend. So I have not read a lot but I do feel as though I'm in a marathon of thinking loads! Does that count?

Yes I definitely think so :lol:. How much did you manage to get through? 
 

I actually didn’t get anywhere near as much reading done as I wanted. I didn’t pick up Silence at all! But it was for a good reason… which I’ll post about later :)

I finished the book - it was only 117 pages long - but I think I finished with only a very broad understanding of what he was talking about. Still, it's more than I had when I started!

I never get anywhere near as much reading done as I want. Never. The price of addiction (since I get the jitters if I don't read enough it's definitely an addiction) imho. Can't wait to find out what held you back, hope it was something nice.

The series book titles are all like that. The first book was called Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder. The main character in this series is Hannah Swensen who owns a shop called The Cookie Jar. She loves baking cookies and sells them in her shop. In the first book, the victim is the milk delivery guy and he's found dead in his truck near Hannah's shop, and there's a ripped open bag of Hannah's chocolate chip cookies around the victim. In the second book, the victim in that book has a strawberry shortcake with him, that he was bringing to his wife, when he was murdered in his garage.

I plan to read some tree-books manga, starting with the last two 19 & 20# of The Promises Neverland. 
 

Enjoy reading this weekend everyone 🙂

 

I hope you enjoyed reading the manga :)!

Yes, I'd say it definitely does!

Well done! It definitely sounds like the kind of book that you need some brain power for!

I hope it was something nice too!

 

This past weekend I finished Strawberry Shortcake Murder and I finished The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult. I started Sparkles by Louise Bagshawe on Sunday (which I'm reading with a friend and we read 50ish pages a day).
