Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Here is our "chat room" for our third readathon! :D

I will keep this open even though we haven't started the readathon so we can talk about our progress or books we have or are planning on reading! And we can keep each other motivated! :D

message 8: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks, Kathy! And I am hoping to finish 2 books before the readathon starts so that leaves 5! I have a few in mind but I am going book shopping on Friday and Saturday so the ones I have picked out will probably change!


message 9: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 7669 comments I was thinking about the author Lisa Schroeder she writes her books in poetry and she is so awesome and they go fast!

Have fun shopping for books! :D


message 10: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I have a few books of hers I have on my TBR! Are they all in poetry? And thank you!

Most of hers are.
I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder The Day Before by Lisa Schroeder Far from You by Lisa Schroeder all are in poetry.

Falling For You by Lisa Schroeder isn't all in poetry but has some in it. The MC writes a lot of poetry and her poems are throughout the book.

They are all awesome! I really love her books!

And you're welcome! :D

Kathy | 7669 comments Umm....It all depends on what I finish before then so maybe The White House (I.Q., #2) by Roland Smith The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray

At least those so I can finish some challenges up before the end of the year. :)

I hope to get through 2-3 books, The Assassin and the Empire (Throne of Glass, #0.4) by Sarah J. Maas Teardrop (Teardrop, #1) by Lauren Kate and Burn for Burn (Burn for Burn, #1) by Jenny Han or Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin, #2) by Robin LaFevers .

I'm hoping to get 2 books done!

message 39: by Crystal (new)

I LOVED the Iron King Series.


message 44: by Crystal (new)

Crystal (pageturner51) | 21 comments I live in Central Time- Minnesota :)

And I am really liking the Iron Fey series! I really enjoy fantasy, especially in YA.

Cool! So you will start at 11PM tonight and read until 11 PM on Sunday!


message 46: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments OMG can you believe it starts tonight??

I'm so excited. I think I might nap soon :)


message 47: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I know! I am so excited! We are going out to breakfast and seeing a movie tomorrow morning but other than that I should be able to read, read, read! I can not nap before because I have church soon and then hanging out with a friend. Then coming home to read!


message 48: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments LOL! that's a busy schedule! I'm lucky, we cleared out all our plans when my kids were so sick over Christmas so I have a free day tomorrow - other than sleeping

but the timing is perfect because I have a ton of books that I need to catch up on! I'm so excited :D great way to end the year!!


message 49: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Lucky you!!

I also think the timing is perfect. I need to read five books to hit 100 and I don't think I would be able to do it without a readathon!


message 50: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I might not be able to start at midnight as plan.
