Hello 2013 Readathon

[Zakiya]

Everyone has new goals to aim for, and we thought we'd help by giving you a readathon as a little boost! The new year needs a nice salutation, too.

Duration: January 20th - 26th, 2013 (midnight to midnight)

Remember that your goals can be whatever you think will help you the most.

Feel free to post your goals, progress, and summaries below.

[Zakiya]

Will post my goals closer to time.

[Jennifer]

I definitely have two goals for this week.

1. Finish on audio.

2. Finish .

Other than that, maybe read a couple more books. =) Judy Blume, Books 5 and 6 of Vampire Academy...

Sounds like a good plan to me!

PROGRESS

Cloud Atlas Progress: pages 156-358 (out of 507)

It is almost time! I know I will be participating! Not sure what I will be reading yet though. I am going to try to finish some of the books I am reading though.

[Rena]

I think I will be impressed if I can read 5 books. I don't have as much spare time anymore.

So, five.

[Jennifer]

YES! 3 days! =)

[Zakiya]

Glad to see you all ready for it :). I'm ready as well!!!

Meghan- Are you doing the Cover to Cover RAT as well?

[Zakiya]

Will update in this post and new ones as well..

Goal: 3-4 books
A Separate Peace (166-204) (finished)
Bound to You (490 pages) (finished)
Life of Pi (401 pages)
A Kiss in Time (100%; 388 pages)
Thirst No. 1 (594 pages)

As always, this is just tentative. I don't know if I'll even have the time for all/most of these.

[★Meghan★]

I may do the cover to cover RAT. I am not sure yet. I have so much going on at work. I need to catch up on my reading. I did finish another book today (audiobook-31 hours). However I will be working to finish another book this week.

Books to Finish:
The Lost Hero DONE
New Moon
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
The Gunslinger
Sweet Evil
The Scorpio Races (audiobook)

Books to Start and Finish:
Guilty Pleasures

I have to finish The Lost Hero and Guilty Pleasures for a team challenge so those will be my main focus. After that I will be working on finishing all the other books that I have started.

[Zakiya]

Good luck hun :)

[Vera]

I want to finish 5 books and 2000 pages. I'm reading a really long book that is already overdue at the library so it's first. We'll see how this goes.

heehee that's how I am with Cloud Atlas. It was due Thursday. I'm not even halfway done. Gotta focus on that first! =)

[Zakiya]

I hope y'all finish those within the first few days then! :)

[★Meghan★]

I am so not doing as well as planned. I planned on being finished with The Lost Hero by yesterday and nearly done with The Scorpio Races. However I got a nasty case of food poisoning yesterday. So I got absolutely nothing read yesterday as planned.

[Vera]

I'm behind too, but just life getting in the way. Hopefully I'll get back on track. Hope you feel better Meghan.

[Jennifer]

I have made zero progress on the two books I NEED to read. But I have finished and so that's something. =)

[Zakiya]

Meghan--Hope youre better hun!

I haven't really been up to standards either. I was supposed to finish Bound to You yesterday and be in the midst of reliving Life of Pi...haven't even opened the latter /:

[Jennifer]

FInished last night.

Today, I am devoting serious reading time to !

[★Meghan★]

Okay I finally finished my first book!!!!

[Zakiya]

Woohoo!! Great job, ladies!

[Rena]

Touching Darkness by Scott Westerfeld

First book down, but some serious read time is coming up and I am over halfway done with another book.

[Jennifer]

I have made some great head-way in Cloud Atlas. I will definitely finish this by Saturday! =)

[Zakiya]

Awesome! :)

I finished Bound to You today at school.

[Zakiya]

Just read The Ugly Truth in one sitting. Those books always give me a good reason to laugh :)

[Rena]

I seriously failed to reach my goal. I only finished two and a half books this week.
The other book was Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella. I made it halfway through Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd.
