Want A Reading Sprint? Showing 4,401-4,450 of 59,700

[Angela]

Sure!

[Vicki]

Yay!!!

[Vicki]

Angela, I've never known ANYONE from Antarctica!!!

[Trinity]

Melissa, I read 2 chapters of how did you do?

[Melissa]

I had a squirmy 10 month old climbing on me the whole time, but I still got 8 pages done! haha

[Vicki]

Awe, read to him/her! Lol

[Melissa]

Haha that doesn't work. He is very active. Always all over the place. I seldom get him to sit still for any amount of time.

[Angela]

23 pages. How did you do, Vicki? (:

[Vicki]

I LOVE my book!! I read 28 pages on my NOOK. :)

[Vicki]

Seriously, Melissa, I'm sure you do read to your baby. When my kids were little (I have 5), I began reading to them at 4-5 months old. Sometimes only a minute or so, picture books, one-word pages, etc. but they grow to love it! I miss those days!!

Now I have adult children who are pretty avid readers (for the most part).

[Angela]

You did great! What did you read?

[Vicki]

I'm reading Max, the 5th book in the Maximum Ride series. I love it!!

[Angela]

It's a great series then? :D I've never read it.

[Vicki]

Book 4 was disappointing but all the others I've loved.

Thats awesome! I do plan on reading to him when he gets a little older, but I might start earlier and see how it works out!! I just wonder if he would sit still long enough to let me! haha

I do hope he loves reading when he gets older though!!

[Melissa]

Hey Vicki did you ever read the book When the Wind Blows by James Patterson? Becuase this is the book that inspired the Maximum ride series. I read When the Wind Blows and I didn't really like it that much, which is weird because I love all James Patterson books!

I was just wondering if it is kind of the same as the Maximum Ride series...cause I was thinking about giving that series a shot, but wasn't sure if I would like it because I didn't like the other book.

[Vicki]

Melissa, you want colorful books that he can touch like the cardboard type or the plastic type and not paper books to begin with. Trust me he will love it even if you have to have him sit in your lap for just a few seconds at a time at first, eventually he will enjoy it.

[Vicki]

Regarding the book you mentioned, no I haven't read that so I can't compare the series but several of us are reading the maximum ride series and we all love it so maybe you want to give it a try.

I will definitely give it a shot!

[Vicki]

Yay!! Let me know how it goes. What's baby's name?

[Melissa]

His name is Riley =]

[Vicki]

Awe...read, Riley!! :)

[Vicki]

Everyone in bed except me, or is anyone up to do a sprint?

[Sarah]

I'll do one!

[Vicki]

Hey, are you still there? I'm sorry I was busy and didn't see this right away.

[Sarah]

Yep! What time and how long?

[Vicki]

I prefer the longer ones, so if it's okay with you how about :10 for 30?

[Sarah]

Sure! What're you reading by the way? I'm reading Wicked by Sara Shepard.

[Vicki]

GREAT!! Thanks!

MAX, book 5 of the Maximum Ride series. I'm loving it!

[Vicki]

We just finished Perfect!!

[Sarah]

I really love PLL! It's my favorite series, and I'm so glad I got into reading them. I read 36 pages.

[Vicki]

Sarah, I dozed off and when my timer went off I reached over to shut it off as though it were my alarm. Lol

I got 3 chapters read. How about you?

[Vicki]

One more?

[Sarah]

I'm getting pretty tired, but I'm up for one tomorrow for sure! I finished 4 chapters~

[Vicki]

That's great! Sweet dreams and I'll look for you tomorrow.

[Vicki]

Sure! When & how long can you do?

[Vicki]

Is anyone still out there?? Lol

[Maddie]

I am! :D I'll do a challenge, but just warning you I'm doing a children's novel. XD

[Vicki]

I don't care! Lol I'm reading MAX from Patterson's Maximum Ride series. :35 for 30?

[Maddie]

Yeah wait should we do :40 for 30? Sorry!

[Maddie]

Or we can go now. I don't really mind lol. Just post and let me know. :)

[Vicki]

Ok now is good!!! I'll go 39 from now!!

[Maddie]

Ok cool. :D

[Maddie]

I read 78 pages and finished my book.

[Vicki]

Wow!!! I'm not telling you how many pages I read! Lol I read 4 chapters though.

Thanks! I'm hitting the sack now as it's after midnight.

[Jessica]

Anyone up to do a sprint?

And wow Maddison 78 pages is amazing!

[Maddie]

Haha 4 chapters is like less that 20 pages. Good on you Vicky.

Thanks Jessica. But, as I said, it was a children's novel and it had pictures and a large font. XD

I would do a sprint but I'm talking to my friend over email and I should be heading to bed soon. Sorry! Hopefully tomorrow. :)

[Jessica]

Children's books can always be entertaining! Even so 78 pages is quite a bit!

Anyone else online to do a quick sprint?

[Emily]

I'll sprint with you.

[Jessica]

Okay, when and how long?
