I completed two goals for the Take Control of Your TBR Pile Read-a-Thon hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and partially completed a third.
My goals:
FinishLife after Life by Jill McCorkle
This was excellent and I hope to review it soon.
Start With You or Without You: A Memoir by Domenica Ruta (won from Shelf Awareness)
First line: “My mother grabbed the iron poker from the fireplace and said, ‘Get in the car.'”
- Finish The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus
I wasn’t as far along as I had thought I was, but I am 3/4 in and hooked.
- Start one single, solitary book from my RoofBeam Reader 2013 TBR Pile Challenge list
which I haven’t even looked at since January 1
I saw the movie Quartet on Sunday which took time away from reading, but Quartet dovetailed nicely with Life after Life, since they’re both about people living in retirement homes and making the most out of life.
Thanks to Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer for hosting!

U did well; congrats. I just finished With or Without You and enjoyed it.
2/4 is good for a readathon, especially as you’re on a third book too 🙂 Quartet looks like a good film, it’s great that there are more films about older people recently.
Yes, it is!
Thanks! I’m enjoying it so far, too.
Hey, that’s 50%!
I finished Life After Life last week. Just lovely. And thoughtful.
Doing great! I just put Life After Life on my wishlist.
Good work getting on top of your TBR! I’m making small in-roads into mine at the moment. 🙂 I’m ignoring review books in favour of older books out of my own collection.
Oh, I missed this! I love readathons. Any excuse, hey?
Looks like you got a good way into your reading plans, well done.
