Social Distancing Readathon #245 - December 6 - 8

Welcome to another readathon!

We generally run from Friday at 5 p.m. to Sunday at midnight in whatever time zone you choose, but feel free to start earlier on Friday and wrap up overnight Sunday/Monday, if that's what you want to do.

Here are some things to track throughout the weekend, if you choose:

Who is participating -

1. SilverWolf (SilverWolf28) -- Tennessee, USA

I will try to join again this week. I recently started on Lark Rise to Candleford so I'll be continuing with that. I will also see if I can make some headway with other books I'm reading - particularly Castle in the Air.

I was supposed to go to a Christmas market this weekend, but my favourite has closed down and I'm not super drawn to any of the others. And I've got a cold coming on so might be best to stay close to home.

I'm in. I feel like I live in Crazy Town (pop. 5 including the dog) - but as the population will drop to 2 including the dog this weekend, I'm going to wallow in the silence and read my heart out. Sometimes the universe has other plans, of course, but it's looking good for an awesome reading weekend!

I would avoid scary books, but I'm about to finish Bob Woodward's latest, War, and nothing is scarier than reality sometimes ... as an aside, this book is a good companion to Charlie Wilson's War, which I just finished last week. The more things change ...

I will be joining in, but won't get much reading done as I am back in Alabama for the weekend.

I'm in again - currently reading The Western Star by Craig Johnson.

I'm in.
Still reading Strange Folk by Alli Dyer
Spent some time today on the LT Holiday Card Exchange. I've been doing it for several years.

Oh my goodness, is it Friday, already!
Well, I'm in. I have some decorating to do for the holidays but I will make time for a cup of tea and reading time.

I cannot participate either this weekend or the next as I will be at my mother's. She has no Internet access.

I wish all readers the best of luck with their reading!

Up early to read by the fire with a cup of coffee. Cold here this a.m. 22F/-6C.
