MY WEEK ON WEDNESDAY | #10
My Week On Wednesday is a weekly link-up post in which I share with you what I've been reading, what I'm reading next, and any other bookish stuff I enjoyed in the past week! (Click on book images to view Goodreads page.)
Just shelved:

All three of these were excellent, but they were all very different. Both from one another and from anything else I've read. I actually finished all three of these on Saturday for Readathon, which isn't as many as I'd hoped, but not bad!
Currently reading:

I'm about halfway through both of these and hoping to finish them up this week. On the Move (out today) is a creative memoir by Oliver Sacks, a writer and doctor whose life is as interesting as his work. The Children's Crusade is  family epic, very much character-driven and highlighting the complexities of family relations.
Up next:

I've started both of these and am very eager to dive back into them once I've finished my current reads! Cait over at Paper Fury is a huge fan of The Unlikely Hero, so obviously I need to read it ASAP. And the sequel to Kate Atkinson's Life After Life is out next week (!) so I'm trying to finish this up in time to read A God In Ruins as soon as I can get my hands on it!

In other news:

I participated in Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon on Saturday,  and while I had some issues focusing and had to pause to watch the hockey game (my beloved Canucks sadly got knocked out of the playoffs), I still managed to finish three books and spend about 8 hours reading. AND not only that, but I won a prize! I rarely win anything, so you can imagine how thrilled I am! You can check out my Readathon post to see how I did here.
What about you guys? Did you participate in Readathon? How much reading did you get done? How was the rest of your week?
