Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

:D

21 pages so far, so I guess reading after 1am is working for me with this incentive!

Hahaha As long as you get some rest!

Finished a book in progress: Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi, 101 pages of it were read after the start of the contest.

I have another I'll try to finish this evening. Then the weekend is rather a lost cause to reading so I'll be hitting the books hard again come Monday.

Finished Carrie for task one. :)

Guess who is now in fourth place? :)

Uh-oh! I better finish this book soon, hehe. I keep stopping to post here and to do laundry!

I finished Stargazey Point, my first book for ghost, but can only contribute 107 pages from this book to today's total. Never fear, though, I've got pages from other books that will count :)

Hello, my little Mangoes!

I haven't been stalking the threads much lately so I figured I was overdue to come pester you!

A spooky little picture to go along with the spirit of the RaT and hunt, for you!

It's never pestering... You're visiting your old team A friends Steven and Barb! And your new Mango friends! :)

Tee hee hee, I like to call it pestering because I try to keep you all distracted from your reading!

Somehow, I don't think I succeed at that for very long, though!

Well, you can *try :)

I'm awake again! And reading... Like a banshee :D

Congrats on Steven for finishing Carrie so quick!

:) I'm working on Cuckoo's Calling now, but honestly my brain is frazzled from an awful week! I think I tore through Carrie because I wanted to massacre people with my mind this week too hahahaha

Are you going to go see the new movie of Carrie, Steven?

Oh poor thing. It's the weekend for you now, though? Right? Or at least Friday night.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts when you finish that one!

*shudders* I was 'forced' to watch the original Carrie ages ago, when it first came out, and I will never forgive the people responsible for that. I *still get squirrelly (more than usual?) when I think about that movie!

Lisa Kay, I really want to!!!! It looks very good! :)

Nicole, it is my weekend, thank goodness!!!

Barb, I love horror movies but you don't... So I can't imagine you liking Carrie at all, as its pretty creepy and quite realistic beyond the telekinesis.

I don't even want to think about how much gorier the new version of the movie will be! *shudders again*

Haha well it can't be too much worse than the original. Yikes that was a lot of blood!

*fingers in ears* la la la la la, I can't HEARRRRRRRR you! :)

I was just over on the Event 1 tracking thread to record a book and saw Nancy's entry there. She has already read 2 books and over 500 pages today! Wow! Way to rock the read-a-thon!

I'm attempting to finish some of the books I had already in progress, but I keep getting distracted :(

I have been meaning to read more, but it keep getting distracted on here by writing reviews and commenting to other peoples' threads :)

I'm making my way through but I keep getting distracted by snooping around GR threads!

Barb wrote: "*fingers in ears* la la la la la, I can't HEARRRRRRRR you! :)"

LMBO!

Actually, I didn't see it until I was an adult, and then on the small screen. Talk about bullying a poor girl.

Yeah that was awful of them, LK. And her abusive mother! Ugh!

I haven't read as much today as I wanted, but I have standing Fun Friday plans with friends. And I finished Carrie (just the final 48 pages) and some of Cuckoo's Calling but not as much as I wanted too. Sigh.

Gosh darn it, Fun Friday plans are getting in the way of your reading, Steven! What did you do for FF?

I know, I spent some time playing dice games with the boy and the husband..sheesh, that was valuable reading time, don't they know? LOL!

That's okay, that's what bedtime is for! Catching up on what I missed out on earlier, hehehe. HOpe I make it more than 5 pages before crashing.

We watch that week's Glee and Scandal every Friday as a group and cook dinner, and usually either play board games or watch a cheesy horror flick after.

Sounds like fun!

Oh Teresa, just ignore GR and finish the book! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked that one. After the last few books, I wasn't sure how this one would go :)

I'm lucky (I guess? LOL) Hubby won't be home this weekend, and daughter is just as determined to read the weekend away as I am :)

Oh Steven, can I join you guys on a Friday? I live both of those shows!

I love Glee, too. Kurt's dad is my favorite character. I suppose it is kinda weird, since he isn't a main character, but I love how supportive he is of his son!

Nicole, Steven, who is your favorite character?

Santana for me, hands down, but Kurt's dad comes close!

I stayed up half the night reading! I finally crashed somewhere around page 300, only to wake up and read another 80 pages early this morning, lol. I'm reading now, between posts here and doing some cleaning. I'm finishing the book today. I really like it! I love how much we are in Kinsey's head in this book.

I haven't watched Glee since season 2 but I've always liked Kurt's dad. I'll probably catch up with the show on Netflix streaming this year.

I love Burt as well!!! :)

My two favorites are Santana and Blaine. They're both gorgeous and talented. Blaine is dreamy haha. And it helps that his on screen brother is played by.... Matt Bomer!!

Whoa! I forgot about him being on Glee. How frequently does he appear?? Haha, I bet you couldn't resist a Blaine/Bomer sandwich, eh? ;)

I love Blaine! But, half the time I don't like Santana.

Yeah she can be awful... but I love her voice when she sings!!!

Steven wrote: "Yeah she can be awful... but I love her voice when she sings!!!"

Oh, yes, she has a beautiful voice!

Her later show character arc is amazing as well!

I haven't started watching this season of Glee yet. I watch it with my mom and sister and we all are having a bit of trouble with Fin's (Cory something's) death. He was my age! It's sad.

Oh I know. So sad. This will be Glees last season cause of it too.

Next week's episode is going to be hard. I almost cried at the teaser and while I liked Corey, I didn't even really care for his character as much anymore. But I am so sad!!

Nicole, it was renewed for two seasons at last renewal in Mayish/Juneish and there has been no mention of canceling or shortening it, so as of now we will be going through season six.

I just finished another book for both the Banshee and the Treasure Hunt parts of this RaT. I've got three of the five letters done for our 5th category spell-it-out :)

I've got to read like ... well, like a banshee? this weekend, because the first few days next week are rather busy, and hubby will be home next weekend, so I don't know how much time I'll get to read then.

I think we're waiting to watch all three episodes together because of how sad it is.

Just want to say congrats for 4th place *grins*
