Readathon

[Karin]

Had planned to finish two books, but only got to read for about 30 minutes this weekend. Maybe next time?

[Annie]

Finished Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen - 156 pages read.

This read-a-thon helped me finish two more books that were lingering, thank you!

For this Readathon I finished reading Shades of Earth, started and finished Allegiant, and got through 70% of The Vow. Total pages read: 792. Not too shabby! 129 pages from my goal. I got distracted watching The Ringer and Zoolander last night or I would've made it. lol

[Andrea, Moderator]

I'm so glad that people got so much reading done!

My grand total was an all time low of 55 pages...hahah Stupid cold just made it hard to read. Next time, I'mm do much better!!!

[Lori]

I read 2 books during our read a thon, Corpse Pose by Diana Killian and Red Tide by Peg Brantley. It worked out to a total of 572 pages!!

[Charleen]

Hey, everyone! Just a reminder that our last readathon of the year is next weekend! We'll start on Friday, as usual, but we'll be pushing all the way through Tuesday to finish the year with a bang!

Whether you're still making the push to hit 75 or not, I hope you'll join us for at least part of the event.

[Jocelin]

I'll try to make it. That weekend is going to be a tough one to pick up a book.

[Lori]

I'm working nights all weekend, but I will read as much as I can.

[Annie]

I'll be starting my weekend of reading in about 1 hour!

[Charleen]

Huzzah! I was just popping on to see if anyone had started yet!

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

I'm starting now! I have about an hour to read before work, and I'll be continuing on with Basilisk. My reading's been really slow over the holidays so hopefully this'll give me a little boost!

Been sick the past couple days. :( Stayed home and slept a lot today. Started reading The Selection by Kiera Cass today. Hoping to finish that and read Inferno by Dan Brown this weekend.

[Charleen]

I'm staying with my parents until after the new year, so I don't have a ton of opportunity to read. Today I got in a few chapters of Steve Berry's The King's Deception.

[Adriana]

I managed to get in about 45 pages of Zipporah Wife of Moses last night.The plan is to finish reading it this weekend and to finish Out of Oz. Lets see how far I get.

[Elyse, Moderator]

I finished The Selection. Cute book. Began Inferno this morning. It's quite shorter than The Lost Symbol, thank goodness. That book never ended!

[Annie]

Yesterday I was able to read the first 45 pages of The Apple Orchard. Also read another 30 pages which included the short story, Waking Kate, and an excerpt of Lost Lake.

I'm hoping to get in many more pages today.

[Annie]

Elyse, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on Inferno. I have a copy sitting in my TBR pile and it has been sitting there way too long!

[Adriana]

Just read about 100 pages of Zipporah and have about 100 more to go.

[Elyse, Moderator]

So I put aside Inferno because I got the Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher e-book. I've been on the hold list for weeks. Dove into that and cannot put it down! Then I will go back to Inferno, which started off confusing but very action-packed and intense. A much better start than The Lost Symbol.

[Annie]

Finished An Old Betrayal by Charles Finch.

[Karin]

I managed to read 221 pages of Cross My Heart and 11 pages of Brownies and Broomsticks for a total of 232 pages. Not too bad for me.

[Elyse, Moderator]

I read The Selection, Thirteen Reasons Why, about 7% into Inferno, and halfway through a 120-page Selection novella. Not a lot of reading done because I still wasn't feeling well. Did a lot of sleeping.

[Charleen]

I've had hardly ANY time for reading! I'm hoping to have a few hours tomorrow, but we'll see.

It's hard to believe that some parts of the world have less than 24 hours till the new year!

[Adriana]

Done with Zipporah. I didn't get as much reading in yesterday as I'd planned. Now off to finish Out of Oz.

[Charleen]

I did it! Finished The King's Deception.

Who's still reading? Anyone ringing in the new year with a good book?

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

I finished Basilisk; at the start of the read-a-thon I had 337 pages left. Then last night, in a single sitting, I read Sworn, which was the worst book I've ever read, I think.

I'm finishing off the year tonight with The Prince, to get me ready to read The Elite early in 2014!

[Elyse, Moderator]

I enjoyed The Prince. It was a cute novella.

[Adriana]

I finished Out of Oz! Not my favorite out of the series but it's and end.
