I am definitely in! I am hoping that I do not have to travel to my father's house this weekend and so get more reading done than I have been able to do recently.

Saturday morning update
Books read from: I finished reading Night Rounds by Helene Tursten and continue to slowly read Empires of Light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, the Race to Electrify the World by Jill Jonnes. I am determined to finish this book. I started reading Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories by Simon Winchester and Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time by Mark Adams. My recorded book is Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz.
Books finished in this weekend's Readathon: I finished reading Night Rounds by Helene Tursten.
Book Thoughts: I now totally immersed in Turn Right at Machu Picchu and Atlantic. Both are really good for different reasons. Both are narrative nonfiction and both are travel books. The one on Machu Picchu is really funny and the one about the Atlantic is very lyrical and flowing. These are both for book discussions and both were great choices. They are truly dividing my time.
Non-Book activities: I have cooking to do today and a funeral to attend.
Time reading: 1 hour
Time posting:
Food: coffee and a bagel for breakfast
Total books finished since the Read-A-Thon Began: 317
Total Time Reading since the Social Distancing read-a-thon began: 901 hours since I started doing the weekend Read-A-Thon back in April of 2020.
