This readathon is hosted by Val at The Innocent Smiley and Ely at Tea & Titles.
After weeks of voting and anxiously checking the results, the Make Me Read It Readathon is finally here! Here are the books in the order I'll be reading them, thanks to your votes:​
1.  Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George
2. Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
​3. Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein
4. The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley
5. Mastering the Art of French Eating by Ann Mah
6. The Lost Girls: Three Friends, Four Continents, One Unconventional Detour Around the World by Jennifer Baggett
7. The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin (My library had this one as an audiobook, so I'll be listening to this one throughout the week.)
I know it's unrealistic to get through all seven in one week, but I'm going to give it my best try!

Updates

1. Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George - finished Saturday at 10:​12 p.m.
  • Thoughts - A fairy tale retelling with polar bears, which just happen to be my favorite animal. The perfect read to start out this readathon!
2. Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder - finished Monday at 5:35 p.m.
  • Thoughts - My favorite of the series so far. I enjoyed seeing the Ingalls family interact with so many other characters.
3. Mr. Lemoncello's Library Olympics by Chris Grabenstein - finished Tuesday at 3:27 p.m.
  • Thoughts - This book is just as AMAZING as the first one. I loved it!!
4. The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley - finished Friday at 4:21 p.m.
  • Thoughts - I couldn't put this book down. Such a good read!
5. Mastering the Art of French Eating by Ann Mah - on page 86 when the readathon ended.
​7. The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin - halfway through listening to this one when the readathon ended.

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
