Congratulations! :)

My goal is 2000 pages and 5 books (but I will try to read 7). I am good for now, read more than 1500 pages and 4 books. :)

soon going to finish with Best Kind of Broken (Finding Fate, #1) by Chelsea Fine Gosh, book is so damn good, I would recommend it to everyone! Happy reading!! :P

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I still haven't reached my goal but should be able to by the end of the week.

I read 1941 pages in the last readathon but I had to work most of that week. Since I have the whole week off for this readathon I think I will aim for 2500 pages and hopefully at least 8 books.

I have read 1769 pages so far and 6 books.


message 660: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Congrats Mandiann. :)

message 665: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (jords) | 415 comments I really want to finish the book I'm reading tonight but I'm not enjoying it too much and so I'm not reading it fast at all:(


message 666: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Aww sorry to hear that Jordan. :( Maybe put it aside for now and start with a more fun book?


message 667: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1726 comments FINALLYYYYYYYY! Today all we did was fill out service hour forms and other service learning stuff, so I read a lot then, and it's a half day and I have no homework so I can FINALLY read! YEAH!!! It's the end of the quarter so there's no homework (or extra credit) :D


message 668: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (jords) | 415 comments I might, but I've got a buddy read tomorrow and I'd prefer to focus on that book and if I don't finish this one I'll keep having to go back to it and try to read some more.:(

Sounds like you are busy, I can imagine you want to finish this book then. Good luck then! Which book is it by the way?

Thanks! I thought I had time yesterday, but then I forgot about an extra credit English project I needed to do to bump up my B (now I'm really close- arggggh!). I was so disappointed, lol! Now I'm almost done with my book :D

You're welcome. :) Good luck on getting that B bumped up to whatever comes after that one (A I guess?), hope you did well on that project.
Oh which book are you reading now?

So far the sequel is good. Slowly getting through it though, again, quite busy with various things. :)

Kathy | 7669 comments I didn't post last night, was too tired!
But I finished Collide (Collide, #1) by Shelly Crane 1 star

Don't get me wrong! I loved her Significance (Significance, #1) by Shelly Crane series! But, that one wasn't for me! :\

You're welcome. Sorry to hear that. Well I hope at least your next book will be more fun and good. :)

I will be off now, late dinner and some gaming, I think I read enough for today. (didn't think I would ever say that)


message 687: by [deleted user] (new)

Yikes! I only read 34 pages yesterday. For some reason all my work in my credential program has piled up. I'm trying really hard to get EVERYTHING done tonight so I can read all day sat/sun. However I have been able to read today and I'm close to finishing up my current book.


message 688: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Well I shall be off to bed now. Have fun with reading and have a good day. See you all tomorrow again. o/

Mehsi Good morning everyone. o/

Hope you all have a nice weekend. :)

I probably won't be reading much because I got other things to do. :)


message 691: by Jordan (new)

Jordan (jords) | 415 comments Good morning Mehsi! Have fun, whatever you're doing today :)


message 692: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Hello Jordan, and thanks.

Probably some shopping, going to the library and well just have a fun day with my boyfriend. I do hope I will get some reading though. :)

What are your plans for today?

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments ohh It's the last day of 5th readathon :/

Yesterday I started reading two books, and gave up on both, they were just slow and not-interesting aka boring.

Today I will read (right now will start) Mind Games (Mind Games, #1) by Kiersten White (I just hope this one isn't boring)
Happy Sunday and happy reading!

Mehsi Good morning everyone. o/


message 698: by Mehsi (last edited Mar 30, 2014 05:01AM) (new)

Mehsi I should really count or start with checking my points.. problem is I read too much, and don't really feel like checking what every book is worth and then posting them all individually in the thread. :) Oh well, maybe tomorrow when I have time.

That should still be possible, shouldn't it? Or do we have to fill in the points in the thread before the read-a-thon ends?

I'm not sure. Gisbelle runs the spreadsheet so I would wait to see what she says. (:

Mehsi Ok, I haven't seen her on this thread though. So should I also post in the questions part? (and then hope she will answer before my day is over)
