Go ahead - Make me 


Time to put on my reading shoes and get ready for the latest Readathon with The Innocent Smiley and Tea & Titles.

The fun part of this Readathon is you get to pick what I should read. 

 Yes Hon - all you. And if you enjoy it so much, go and visit the other readothletes (a participant in a readathon is a 'readothlete') who have signed up and pick theirs as well. See, fun for everyone!



The Make Me Read It Readathon will start on July 9th and end on July 16th. Now that's my part - I'll do the reading. You just do the picking. I have selected 10 books that is currently on my TBR list and hope to read 5 of them during the upcoming Readathon. The top five books as voted for by you, will be on that list. The 10 books are:

20890479 22732374 25746670 20170404 22055262 5886881 228134 80660
368916 17262384


Which of these do you think I should read?

    Definitely read A Darker Shade Of Magic; the series is simply brilliant! Dark Places is interesting enough as well, and both Station Eleven and A Monster Calls are high on my wishlist. I hope you'll enjoy the readathon!

      Hi Sofia! Thanks for visiting and I'm glad you like my list. It is only a drop in the endless ocean of TBR lists..... Luckily I will live to be a 117 so I can read them all.

    My mom has been gushing about A Monster Calls for the last three months (she's an English Lit teacher, and I'm a writer, so we talk books a LOT)--I've been a bad daughter and haven't read it yet. Therefore, I think you should! :D

    I selected 84 Charing Cross Road because it looks interesting! I haven't actually read a single book on this list, but I've got Station Eleven on my TBR, so I probably should have checked that one! Happy readathoning!

    If you haven't already, I'm running a poll full of classics and action novels to read over here:https://bookybecksa.wordpress.com/2016/06/25/makemeread-readathon-sign-up-poll

    84 Charing Cross Road is a fun book for bibliophiles. A Darker Shade of Magic is an awesome book, too!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
