TOO MANY READATHONS.... But I want to do them all!

Why do I feel the need to do ALL OF THE THINGS while working full time and getting a Masters in Public Health!? I dont know WHY I think I am Wonder Woman and can do that, participate in readathons, blog, keep up to date on all of my BookTube subscriptions, exercise, cook dinner every night, watch TV and spent QT with my boyfriend, squeeze in the Redskins games, and see friends and family. I CRACK myself up... But, I still continue to try. Sigh.

Having said that, I do want to talk about some upcoming readathons. I am trying to participate in Contemporaryathon this week but I have read 51 pages so I am going to take it as a fail and move on. I am going to finish what I am reading and try to do that quickly so I can move on....

There are two readathons (thought there were 3) I would like to participate in in the upcoming two months. The good news is while the next few weeks are going to be insanely stressful, I will have almost a month and a half off and I hope to read lots. Also, I am about 10 books away from my yearly goal for 2017  but I don't see myself finishing 10 before Dec 31 but perhaps! Stranger things have happened.

I have made notes about what I may fit into these challenges based on what I also currently feel like reading. Keep in mind, I will come back to edit my final TBRs!
