Adriana Stone | 322 comments 12 pages and I finished my book


message 16428: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I read 11 pages


message 16429: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) Lieniitte that's okay. I can go again. What are you reading anyway?


message 16430: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Cool, Adriana! Did you like the book? :)
Amanda, sure! I am reading The Winner's Curse!
How about :55 for 15 minutes? Or however long you want. :)


message 16431: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments What are you reading?


message 16432: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Stone | 322 comments Yeah it was good! I was reading legend for the 2nd time !


message 16433: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I'm reading A Million Suns (the second book in the Across the Universe series) I just have to wash my face and braid my hair. So probably more like :05 if that works for you. How is Winner's Curse so far? I have a copy of it.


message 16434: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Or, if you don't read this by :55, we can start at :00! :)


message 16435: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Ok, sure, :05 is good for me. makes time to make an ice cream shake. :D
I liked the Across the Universe trilogy! TBH, my least favorite of them was A Million Suns, I liked the other 2 better, but it was still good and I really liked the trilogy as a whole!
So far I have only read about 50 pages of The Winner's Curse, but the world is definitely interesting!


message 16436: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I loved the first one. My boyfriend suggested it to me and I finally read it. He said the same thing, but I still have to read it!

I'm here whenever you're ready. :)


message 16437: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments so :05 for 15 min :)


message 16438: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments wow, this is the best ice cream shake I've ever had. Strawberry ice cream, a banana and a cup of coffee added in. Yummmm :D


message 16439: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I read 24 pages.


message 16440: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) Wow that sounds delicious.


message 16441: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I read 13 pages.
I'm starting to think that I read slow compared to others. Though I could read much faster, I can't bring myself to, in this book I'm imagining it being read in a British accent, slowly with a lot of feeling to it :D I used to listen to audio books a lot and those are very very slow reading, so that might be why I do that.


message 16442: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I read at different paces depending on what I'm doing or what I'm reading. But I've always been told that I'm a fast reader. I started The Selection today and finished it this afternoon, it's like 300 some pages. I don't know anyone in real life that reads like that. But some people on this website are a lot faster than I am.


message 16443: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Yeah, that's true, depends on the book and stuff :D
There are books that I have read within hours and some I like to read slowly and really sink deeply in the writing, savoring it. This one seems like it will be a slower read, just because each paragraph contains so much information, I want to capture it all :D


message 16444: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) It took me a long time to read The Red Lily Crown A Novel of Medici Florence by Elizabeth Loupas . It's a historical fiction book.

It also depends on how interested I am in what I'm reading, if there is anything to distract me...

That's why I like sprints, because I just focus on the book. So, do you want to go again?


message 16445: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Sure! How about :00 for 20 minutes? Or less, or more, you can choose how long. I don't mind at all :D


message 16446: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) That sounds perfect to me


message 16447: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments Ok :)


message 16448: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) I read 30 pages. I really like this series.


message 16449: by (Liene) (new)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I read 13 again :D

I'm glad you like it!
I'm up for another sprint, if you want :)


message 16450: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) Yesss! I want to make a sandwich though. It seems I may be up for a while and I need sustenance. (It's 1:30 a.m. here.) So how about :40 for another 20?
