[~Leslie~]

Friday night at my house means Mexican! My husband and I go to a lovely little place that has the best quacamole. MMMMMMMMM!! Can't wait.

Captains, my book Shifting Dreams has strange numbering on my nook. It says on it's page that it has 260 pages. But I have the nook version and it goes to 762 pages. Which is why I did percentages. Is that okay?

[~Melissa~]

I love guacamole and a good margarita ☺
Fajitas, too
Enjoy Mexican Night!!

Haven't finished it yet - but so far it's pretty good. I read the Gambler, but I think that's all the KA I've read. I'll be reading more :-)

Leslie - if you can post a percentage finished, that will suffice - we can take total pages of an edition and multiply times the percentage.

[~Leslie~]

Way to go Chris!!

[~Leslie~]

Great job, Judy!!

Okay, Chris. So if I started on Chapter 14 and I'm now on Chapter 18, how do I figure out percentages? There are 32 chapters plus an Epilogue.
My husband did the math for me! I read 12.5%.

[~Melissa~]

Ahhh! Percentages of ebooks! Yikes!! I think I'll try to do those by 1/2 and then finish - 2 days done. I don't want to do math with my reading,lol

Yay!! I love Family Traitors :) (and didn't that sound weird)

I'm halfway through and my dreams yesterday night were full of haunted houses

[Vi]

And other potential books starting Points:

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Audiobook) - 50% in. (Need to calculate)
2. The Bonehunters - 110 of 1232 pre-read. Starting page: 111

[Catherine]

of course! lol :) what else would we be doing?

[Catherine]

A Half Forgotten Song
Wild Card(finished)
A Poisoned Season
A Perfect Proposal
The Red Tent
The Opening Night Murder
Island of the Swans
Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade


I think I can get a couple more into this...I have started some of these already...but will keep track from now on :)

[Catherine]

I read pps 224-418. Wild Card so far (finished)

Still reading..will post again:)

[~Leslie~]

Welcome to the Read-a-thon Catherine! I will put you down for a 1000.

So my mexican feast was excellent and then we spent 1 1/2 at B&N reading and having dessert. Nice evening.
I am determined to finish my 2nd book tonight.

And Melissa, as far as I'm concerned there should never be math anywhere!

I didn't put the total pages for Wild Card...math left my brain! lol but I think it's 194 for that one. and I have pages for A Poisoned Season also...I will add them shortly :)

[Katie]

Slow day and evening for me....read 47% of The Bride Wore Size 12 by Meg Cabot today = 188 pages total for me.

[~Leslie~]

No worries, Katie! Every page read counts!!

[Catherine]

Is it ok to change my goal to 2500? Sorry..just looked at my total..and I think I can manage it :)

When does this end? The 19th?

[~Leslie~]

The goal is just an estimate or something to aim for. It's okay if you go over or under. So I will be happy to change it.

I'm enjoying it so far! :) found another series by her..WWI series..

[Catherine]

ok...I'm getting a bit more read today:)

[~Leslie~]

I'm still really confused as to the best way to report daily. I finished a book. Should I wait until this evening to report everything I've read?

[~Melissa~]

~Leslie~ wrote: "I'm still really confused as to the best way to report daily. I finished a book. Should I wait until this evening to report everything I've read?"

I was wondering the same thing. Just a once a day update or we could update through out the day as we are on here?

[~Leslie~]

I'm not sure the answer to that, Melissa. Trying to figure it out now.
