It is officially the end of my second readathon this year and I think I did pretty well! This event was hosted by Seasons of Reading and I would definitely be interested in participating their future events.
In total, I finished 7 books for a grand total of 2394 pages:
1. Caraval by Stephanie Garber
2. Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
3. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
4. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
5. Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
6. The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
Even though these books deviated from what I originally planned in my TBR, I still think that I've done a fairly good job of consistently reading every single day.
Let me know if any of you guys have read the books I have posted here and what you thought of them. Also, please let me know if you can think up of future readathons that I can participate in!

24in48 Read-a-thon: Zero Hour Challenge
Annnnnnnnnnnnndddddd we're off! Just a quick update: I have just completed my first hour of the read-a-thon with 80+ pages of When Dimple Met Rishi and I'm about to go to sleep. Here are my answers to the get-to-know you survey:
1. Where in the world are you reading from this weekend?
I am reading from Ann Arbor, MI.
2. Have you done the 24in48 readathon before?
This is my first time doing the 24in48 readathon and my second readathon ever!
3. Where did you hear about the readathon, if it is your first?
I heard about the readathon on LittleBookOwl’s Youtube videos. Plus, I also googled some readathons to do in July because it’s always been on my bucket list to do one.
4. What book are you most excited about reading this weekend?
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
I really hope I get to it, but I might not because there are some many books on my immediate TBR.
5. Tell us something about yourself.
I am approximately 40% Ravenclaw, 20% Slytherin and Gryffindor, and 10% Hufflepuff. I think that provides a lot of insight as to what type of person I am.
6. Remind us where to find you online this weekend.

In addition to the High Summer Read-a-thon, I will also be participating in the 24in48 Read-a-thon this weekend. There is still time for you to join!

1. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
3. A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
4. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
5. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
6. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
7. Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
Which one I should read first or which book your enjoyed the most?

July Read-a-thons!
One of my goals for July is to try a Read-a-thon. So, I decided to go above-and-beyond my goals and participate in TWO different read-a-thons! I'm really excited about this and will keep you updated throughout my reading progress.
The first read-a-thon that I will be participating in is the High Summer Read-a-thon. This event is hosted by Seasons of Reading from July 17th (my birthday!!!) until July 30th. According to the guideline, there are basically no limitations to what you decide to read during this period. However, I will be establishing some of my own goals and TBR at a later date.
The second read-a-thon is the 24in48 reading challenge from July 22nd to July 23rd. This is going to be a lot more different than the relaxed High Summer Read-a-thon; I will be attempting to read 24 hours within a 48 hour time range. So, I feel like I won't actually be sleeping that weekend.
Again, updates will be made throughout both of the read-a-thons! I encourage all of you to also participate in some read-a-thons to give yourself a challenge or to get out from that reading slump. Let me know if you have future read-a-thon recommendations that you think I might be interested in.
Happy reading!
