#4 Readathon: Let's Chat

[Kathy]

I didn't get much done today. Had work and when I came home my family wanted to watch TV and I couldn't get into my book! lol!

Hopeing to finish at least one of the many books I have going tomorrow! Or at least get really far in a couple of them! :D

My progress for today:

50 pages

Really creepy and weird so far! Eerie pics!

@Kathy how is that? I have it on hold at my library and I'm planning to get it next week.

I'm only 10 chapters in and have so many questions going through my head right now! lol!

But it seems really good so far! Creepy pics like Miss Peregrine's, and the story is creepy too! lol!

Sounds like something I might like. Glad I put it on hold.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thanks, Mandiann and Gisbelle!

[cindy ♡]

Didn't read at all on Friday other then 16 pages. I'm going to be pretty busy today and tomorrow :(

This ends on Monday right? So is Monday the last day to read, or do we stop on Monday?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That's okay, Cindy! (: 16 pages is better than nothing!

And we have the rest of today and then all of tomorrow. We stop 12 AM on Monday.

When counting pages read and it's a book on a kindle/nook are you guys counting the pages it says on the device or what goodreads says?

I would go with what GR says.

[[deleted user]]

Okay. I usually do but I always start thinking and wondering about the differences.

[Mandiann]

I usually go with what amazon says

[Gisbelle]

Me too! GR is not very reliable.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks you guys!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Actually, yeah, Amazon is the much better source for page amounts!

[Vicki]

It's impossible to know how many pages a NOOK really is because I'll get a book and GR might say 400 pages and my NOOK says 278 and it's taking me FOREVER to read it. I check and realize it's way longer than my NOOK count. What matters is that we're reading because a NOOK vs. a Kindle vs. paperback vs. hardbound vs. edition can all be so different! LOL I think I'll start ordering LARGE print so my books will look like they're 1000 pages instead of 300. LOL Now there's a plan.

[Gisbelle]

lol I love enlarging the font size when I read ebooks :)

I'm not sure if this's true for all ebooks, but the ebooks I bought from iBooks store have 2 options that I can switch back and forth, ebook page and actual page. But the ones I bought from Amazon don't have that options.

[Vicki]

I should ask about that when I go to B&N next. That would be cool. :)

[Gisbelle]

Yeah I like that too :) But mostly I buy from Amazon. Some books are not available in iBooks store.

[Gisbelle]

Last day everyone! Best of luck!

[Vicki]

You too Gis! :)

[Gisbelle]

Thanks so much! I hope to finish 2 books today.

[Gisbelle]

Good job, Kathryn!

Good luck Gis! I plan to finish 2 books today as well (20 pages left on one). My problem? I Keep falling asleep! LOL My eyes start crossing so I close them and...you know the rest of the story. So wish me luck! I MIGHT even be able to finish 3 if I can stay awake. LO

[Gisbelle]

Lol BEST OF LUCK!!!! I keep falling a sleep too if I sit of the couch. Just yesterday I fell asleep while reading and I had a fantastic dream *wink* *wink* lol

I hope you have a great reading day :) I have to go offline now. If I stay online too long I won't be able to read even a single page today.

See you later :*

[Mehsi]

Good luck to everyone on this last day. :)

[Mandiann]

I only read 28 pages yesterday due to work and me falling asleep at 9:00PM and sleeping for 14 hours. No work for my today and hoping to finish a few books!

[[deleted user]]

Hey guys. Kinda sad it's the last day! I hope to finish two books, maybe three. I plan on just reading most of the day. Good luck to everyone!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I only read 39 pages yesterday!

I am going out for a family portrait and then dinner at my aunt's but after I should have 6 hours to read.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Good luck everyone! :D

[Gisbelle]

Hi guys! Only a few hours left. How's everyone doing?

[[deleted user]]

I'm doing good. Finished one book working on another now!

[Gisbelle]

Awesome!

[Vicki]

I'm happy with my progress, even though I have not been able to read this entire day. I have 6 books read so far for the challenge, I think. Hoping to finish book 7 before time is up. We'll see.

[Gisbelle]
