Update:
This weekend has been quite busy! Olivia and I have been running the Catathon Readathon on our bookstagram with our cohosts @abigailscupoftea, @christin_rene_, and @mels_reads_. We had reading sprints, and seeing everyone’s books and cats was so adorable! I’m already looking forward to our next one 😸

I am not currently watching any series. I just finished watching The Regime. While I loved Kate Winslet’s performance, the show was about a 2.5/5.

QOTD: What’s the last book you read that was underhyped?
The writing of this post was edited and enhanced with the help of Grammarly AI.
I wasn’t able to find a cat willing to participate in the Catathon this weekend, but I will continue to search for one in time for your next event. Such a fun idea! I have a friend who wants to participate, too, but the timing wasn’t good for her last weekend.
I will look for The Spell of a Story.

Haha thanks, Deb! While we absolutely love cats, they are necessary for the readathon but are always appreciated. We’ve had participants join us independently, with a dog or other animal companion. We will have more readathons in the future! They’re a blast to host.
Yes, I very much recommend The Spell of Stories! Quick read but enchanting. Take care, Deb, and have a wonderful week!

Love the idea of the Catathon Readathon, sadly I have no cat.
Wishing you a wonderful reading week

We will be having more readathons in the future! Including the Catathon. Cats are not necessary but are always appreciated!
I hope you have a wonderful week as well!
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to join in for the readathon, Sara—sounds like it was a blast! My weekend was too busy for me to be able to fit that in, I’m afraid. I love the video clip of Olivia soaking up all the catathon attention! And it looks like you fit some great books into the weekend too. Thanks so much for the wonderful post, and enjoy your week!
