Woo! Great job, Jacquelyn! I'm going onto my third book now. :)
I'm a slow reader so i'm still on my first book, but i'm really enjoying it. Congrats to all the people who can read 2 books in a day. I wish I could read that much.
So, what is everyone reading at the moment? *is curious*
I am reading two books at the same time. I normally don't read two books at the same time, but the second book I just started today is due back to my library in two weeks so I want to make sure I finish it before then. I am reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and Love Lies Beneath by Ellen Hopkins. I have enjoyed both books and was surprised that Ellen Hopkins latest book wasn't written in prose like all her other books are. I didn't think I would like Divergent, but it is so good. I haven't finished one book yet since the readathon started, but I am enjoying participating in it.
I'm about half way through The Selection by Kiera Cass right now and I'm really liking it!
Jacquelyn: Oh that sounds like an interesting book, is it good?Linsey: I know that "problem", I am reading a book, find out that a book I have needs to be brought back to the library and decide to just read both books. :) Divergent! Loved that book. Love Lies Beneath, never heard of that one, and it sounds like a book I won't like. I am not too big on prose (as it often looks like someone just wrote the book normally and put it through the shredder and then taped stuff together).
And that is the most important, to have fun and enjoy yourself, and talk to others about books. :)
Jessica: The selection, ah that was such a good book. Just like the others, though the latest one (The Heir) was pretty horrendous.
Hello Tyler!
Mehsi, I just finished and I didn't enjoy it at all. 1 star. :(

I am halfway done reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. It is better then I thought it was going to be.
Onto day 3! What's everyone reading today?
Good morning everyone! I'm about to start my third book
.
Good morning! I will be starting my fifth book

That's good to hear! I hope I love them as much as I loved The Selection.
Afternoon Jessica, Jacquelyn!Congrats Jacquelyn, that is fantastic. Ohhh and that book (Ask Again Later) is absolutely fabulous! Enjoy. :D
Congrats to Jessica as well. Enjoy The Elite, that was a great book (and that cover is simply stunning!).

It's 12:30 AM here and I'm TRYING to make myself go to be since I have to get up at 6:00...but good morning, Mehsi! :o)
Hi Vicki! And not being able to go to bed? Reading a book that is too awesome?
Lol That's me! It's 1:20 now & I still haven't made it to bed. But I'm going now. Lol Goodnight, Mehsi.
Lol, now I am kind of curious what book is keeping you from sleeping. :) Good night and sleep well Vicki!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day of reading today! Yesterday I read over 1,000 pages!! I am reading my 9th and 10th book now. :)
Afternoon Emma Claire. Hello Jacquelyn!Oh congrats Jacquelyn, that is amazing! Good luck and have fun with those 2 books. :D

Oh, continuing with the Selection series. How are you liking it so far? And Every Last Word was amazing! Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did. :)

Hello Trisha!
Oh no, sorry to hear about your puppy, hopefully he will be fine/better soon. Good luck with everything.
Enjoy Simon, it was a great and fantastic book. :)

I read The Selection and The Elite both within the last two days so I think it's safe to say that I'm in love with these books! Haha, they're so much fun and I kind of love Maxon (especially with America). I'm glad you loved Every Last Word too. I've heard really great things about that one as well.

"You're welcome. :) Yeah, then it is really clear you love this series, which is logical, as it is a fantastic series (at least the first 3 + the novellas). Aww, Maxon is also a favourite of mine, he is just such a sweetheart and so nice to everyone. And yes, the scenes between him and America are perfect.
Yep, a lot of people love it, and it deserves all that love. :)
Morning everyone! Hope everyone is doing great and I hope you all are reading some fantastic books today. :D
Morning. It's my brother's wedding in a few hours so doubt I will get much reading done, but want to try and finish
if I can
Morning Book Kitty! Hopefully you are able to read a bit, and I hope you will also have a good time at your brother's wedding. :)
Thank you, Mehsi, and I hope you have a fantastic day!!!Book Kitty, have fun at your brother's wedding!
Everybody have a superb day and may you read a 5 star book!! :o)
Off to work now.
You're welcome Vicki! And thanks, so far it has been a fantastic day. :)Good luck with work!
Good morning everybody. The last two days of the readathon I have to work so I'm trying to fit in as much reading today as I can. Have a good day at work Vicki! And have a good day of reading to whoever is participating. :)
