pickI didn't realize this was a sequel until about 1/3 of the way through 😅 The book did an amazing job of summarizing some of the things I would have missed from book one. This book continues Gem and Ralph's love story, only 11 years later. I really enjoyed this book and found it an easy read 😊I didn't want it to finish! 💕
I listened to this one on hoopla 🎧 🤗
bailedI just had to bail, I was listening to it but it bored me
These are the books I read from during day 2 of the readathons, finishing After The Party and read big chunks of the other ones.
For #24B4Monday I have read 17 hrs 8 mins (9 hrs 11 mins today).
For #SummersEndReadathon I have read 961 pages (514 today).
pickFinished my first book during the readathons. This was a good sequel, although hard to see the difficult times Jem and Ralph went through, when you‘d grown to care for them so much during the first book. Very easy reading andLisa Jewell did a good job of getting us to see things from their sides, and how they were feeling about things. Will miss them both.
At 12 hrs 4 mins for #24B4Monday and 679 pages for #SummersEndReadathon
End of day 1 of the readathons and spent most of the day reading After The Party (299 Pages, 5hrs 9 minutes) and The Black Echo ( 85 Pages, 1 hour 55 mins). But also read small sections of the other two books.
All in I read 7 hrs 57 minutes for #24B4Monday Readathon (33 minutes off my target time) and 447 pages for #SummersEndReadathon (3 below my daily target). Hope to catch these times up tomorrow, a few things got in the way of reading today.
Starting After The Party, which is the sequel to Ralph‘s Party (I Read that earlier this week). Worried about what the author might do to Ralph and Jem, let‘s hope their love endures. I am doing this on audiobook.
Currently on 2 hrs 7 mins for #24B4Monday and 132 pages for #SummersEndReadathon. Need to get at it
This is a Summer / Beach Read for me and can see the sea as I read it, but cloudy day.
