Day 8 #36by36 #Readathon

I didn‘t have a lot of reading time this week so I didn‘t get to reach my thirty-six hour goal. Made it to almost nineteen hours.

I got a couple more hours of reading done last night to finish Odd Thomas.

We made it folks! Went slightly off course with this graphic novel I had to read my son who has been Turning Red obsessed lately 😍. Maybe I have 2 years left of correlated years to hours birthday challenges left in me, yet! Thanks to everyone who joined! And thanks for the birthday wishes! It really is a marvel that we get to exist at all and I‘m glad to have made it through another year. 🩷 #NFN #NonfictionNovember #36by36

I hope everyone enjoyed pickle day yesterday! I finished Part of Your World which I enjoyed despite the act 3 break up. My Libby hold for Reasons to Stay Alive actually ended before I got to finish it (this always happens to me because I am always reading too many books at the same time 😅) but I was able to get a print copy from my library that I will finish today. #36by36

Didn‘t make a #36by36 update yesterday, so here‘s a twofer. I finished The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows on Monday. Nick Allen would love this book. 🖊️ I am glad I read it and am actually surprised that these are not “actual” words because I have found myself relating to so many of these, some frighteningly specific to my own experience. I hope to own it at some point in print because a lot of these concepts deserve further introspection. ⬇️

MatchlessMarie This makes book 5 for #10BeforeTheEnd. I had an eye exam on Monday so I was a bit bleary eyed for a good part of the day so I ended up starting A Part of Your World on audio and am enjoying it so far. I was a little hesitant because the last Abby Jimenez I read was so upsetting 😂 I am hoping to finish it today as well as Reasons to Stay Alive. Just about 10 hours left on this challenge 💪🏻 #NFN 1w
MatchlessMarie Yesterday I didn‘t get a lot of reading done. I was working and listening to a podcast for a discussion I attended last night it was the Cultish podcast on the episode on Defecting from Bethel. As an ex evangelical it was very difficult to listen to/ revisit some of this stuff. It was pretty triggering so I could only listen to part one and about half of part 2. Talking through this BS with others with similar experiences was good for me, though. 1w
Bookwormjillk Ugh on the BS but I‘m glad there are others you can talk to 1w
MatchlessMarie @Bookwormjillk For sure! I used to consume so much content around deconstruction when I first left the church but I feel like I got theology fatigue so for a long time I‘ve just been like I don‘t want to think about this stuff anymore. But it was validating to talk with other ppl who have experienced the cult that is the evangelical church. 1w

This was a tough read, especially now, but I wasn‘t going to extend my hold after waiting for it since July. The whole book was interesting, but I preferred the parts that pertained to more modern medicine. I wish there was something about how to advocate for myself, my daughter, and my mother. #SheRead @Riveted_Reader_Melissa #36by36 @MatchlessMarie #NFN

MatchlessMarie Ooh I‘d read one that included the missing parts. That part is so hard IRL. 🖤 1w

Yesterday was full of bowling and Mario Kart as Sundays tend to be 😄 So I didn‘t finish any books but I am halfway through The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows which I am enjoying as much as everyone who has recommended it thinks I will! I also found a Kensington edition of Pucking Wild at my library so I started Tess and Ryan‘s bonus epilogue yesterday too. 🥹 Almost to the midpoint of this challenge. #36by36

Bookwormjillk Mmmmm ice cream 1w
MatchlessMarie @Bookwormjillk I started that one this past summer but I keep getting distracted taking notes of the characters so I haven‘t finished it but I have finished several pints of Rocky Road since then 🤣 1w
