Gisbelle | 25787 comments Just post in the thread and I'll enter your points along with others' later today. It'll be easy for me, though, if you post points for each day on separate post.


message 702: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Ok Gisbelle, so you want them today or is tomorrow also good?

And I will do that, otherwise it might indeed be too cluttered and full. :)


message 703: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Whenever is okay with me. No problem :)


message 704: by Mehsi (last edited Mar 30, 2014 06:29AM) (new)

Mehsi Ok, thanks. :) And also thanks for the swift reply.

I will probably do 3 or 4 days today, and tomorrow the remaining days (since I am still reading stuff). That way it isn't too much to do in one day. :)


message 705: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Of course you read a lot so it'll take time to post.


message 706: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Yeah, never expected to read this much though. :)


message 707: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Good for you :) I don't read as much as I read last time. Hope to finish 2 more today before the read-a-thon is over.


message 708: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Good luck with those 2 books! :)


message 709: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Thanks. You too.


message 710: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi You're welcome. Thanks. :)


message 711: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I wish I could say I was ending this readathon with a bang but this cold is taking lots out of me!

Today, I started The Secrets of Lily Graves by Sarah Strohmeyer so I guess I will see how far I can get in that and a few other books.

I am also going to a library today to get a few books. I am particularly looking for mysteries because I love them but don't read much of them!


message 712: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Aww sorry to hear you still have that cold Jacquelyn. I do hope you will feel better soon.

Oh I loved the Lily Graves book, hope you will like it too. :)

Your library is open on Sunday? Wow. Have fun at your library, hope you will find some nice mysteries.


message 713: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks! It is an awful cough! :(

Thanks. It definitely starts off with a bang! I am enjoying it so far!

And yeah, aha! Not in the summer though. It is one of the few libraries in the system that are open on Sundays. And thanks!


message 714: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi You're welcome. Oh urgh, I hate those colds with coughs. :(

You're welcome, and yep, it did indeed start off with a great bang. Good to hear that!

Not in the summer? Why is it closed in the summer on Sunday though? I would say more people would come to the library during the summer and vacation and all.
I wish the libraries here would be open on Sunday, that would be lovely. :) You're welcome.


message 715: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments My body seems to love them. :/

It has me really intrigued to read on!

I actually have no idea about the summer thing. Most libraries change their days and hours in the summer. That's what I would think as well. It's strange.


message 716: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Aww, sorry to hear that. :(

Well if that intrigued you, I am sure you will love the rest of the book too. :)

I am not sure if they change their hours here depending on summer or other seasons, I believe mostly they just stay the same.
It is very strange, maybe you should ask them about it? See if they know more about why and how and such.


message 717: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks.

I am so excited. :)

Yeah, I definitely should. I am curious..


message 718: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Let me know what you thought of the book when you finished it. :)

Good luck with asking, hopefully they can answer the question. I am also very curious about it. :)


message 719: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I definitely will.

Hopefully! I also will let you know when I find out!


message 720: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Thanks.

And another thanks, can't wait to see what kind of reasoning there is behind it. :)


message 721: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Everyone is doing amazing! :)

Aww I hope you feel better soon, Jacquelyn! :(

message 724: by Trinity (new)

Trinity You're welcome! :)

That sounds strange how the library would be closed just on Sunday during summer... :/ I hope you get some great books on your trip to the library. :)


message 725: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Hello Trinity. o/

I am finishing read-a-thon with Mind Games (Mind Games, #1) by Kiersten White (close to end). It's nice book, something different, I like it!
I wanted to read one more book, but no time. XD

It is a bit of an old thing, so don't mind the date, but it explains about the read-a-thon.

Mehsi Morning everyone!

Just updated my post in the reading list one so that everything is now complete.

Morning

Me too! I need some catching up to do, I haven't watched my TV shows for almost 2 weeks, and I watch really too much. XD This week I'll be busy, but will read some books, first can't wait tomorrow to start with Nicholas Spark's book The Rescue ahhh :))

Wow, well you will have a lot of things to watch then. Have fun with the tv-shows and have fun with Nicholas Spark's book. :)


This week will probably be a few books here and there, but mostly focussed on watching some older anime series, that I have been planning on watching for some time. There is still some time left before the new season of anime starts and I will be busy with that again.
