#5 Readathon: Let's Chat

[Gisbelle]

That series would be my choice too if I buy hardcovers.

[Vicki]

I just might invest in them. I only have book 1 in ebook and didn't purchase. I'll wait till B&N has a 25% teacher discount week! :o)

[Gisbelle]

:) Great. I have book 1 & 2 in paperbacks and book 3 in ebook.

[Vicki]

I like to TRY to keep the sets I have in the same format, but I have a hard time now. I tend to go with cheapest. LOL

[Angela]

I wanted the Lunar Chronicles in all hardback but I don't have enough money. I have a paperback ARC of Cinder, missing Scarlet, and a hardcover of Cress. It doesn't look right on my shelf. :(

[Vicki]

Aweeeeeeeee, Angela, I know exactly what you mean! :o( You feel like you don't have the missing pieces to the puzzle and the picture isn't complete. Maybe you'll get the set for a birthday or Christmas gift.

[Angela]

YES! Haha, maybe. My parents already think that I have too many books. I'll buy it myself when I have enough money. :D

[Vicki]

Let me know when you do!

[Angela]

Okay!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Less than a week to go before the readathon starts! YAY!

[Mandiann]

Jacquelyn, I was thinking that it would be really fun if we had a mini scavenger hunt for the readathon....

Ooh! So you mean kind of like a list of words to try and find like our regular long scavenger hunts but there is less words and only a week duration?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

So my goal is to finish before the readathon so I can start it off with fresh, new books!

[Mandiann]

My goal is the same as yours, to start fresh and new but I need to finish in order to. Good thing I don't work this week!!

[Mandiann]

Yes, that is exactly what I mean, a much smaller list, like perhaps 10 words to find during the readthon week.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Good luck! Having no work definitely helps! I have school the remainder of this week and work tomorrow night but other than that I am free!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Should the 10 words be one category? If so, I think we should do a book category! :D

[Mandiann]

That would be fun.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Alright! I will come up with 10 book related words and post it soon! Thanks for the suggestion! I think it is awesome!

[Mandiann]

Sweet! Sounds great. And I loved the book poetry challenge during the last week long one, that was super great. It was wonderful to read what everyone else came up with.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Alright, that is done and posted! And I loved that too! I think we will do that next time around since we already have points and the hunt. Just don't want it to get too crammed. (:

[Mandiann]

I can't wait! It is going to be so much fun!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I know! I am starting to plan out some books I want to read during the marathon! AHH. I love picking out the books I am going to read!

[Mandiann]

I have picked and then changed my pile about 4 times already. I might still change it again.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That's what I usually do. I am kind of wanting to read a lot of dystopian/mystery books lately so I had to change my pile quite a bit!

[Mandiann]

I keep changing it based on due dates and challenges. I picked up 6 manga from the library the other day that I will probably add to my pile.

What do you have in your pile so far?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Enjoy the manga!

I really want to read but this probably will change because I will be going to the library again before the readathon starts and I have a gift card to the bookstore I will be using to buy more books! :) What is in your pile as of now?

[Mandiann]

Nice pile! I will post mine in a bit. I am not on my computer at the moment.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thanks! I hope I enjoy all of them! Enjoying your books during readathons can help quite a bit.

Awesome! I am excited to see.

[Mandiann]

Here are the books I plan to read for sure:



I also have a pile of Mangas and Novellas and a few other books I might read if I have time.

[Sarah]

I have a big pile of books I'm gonna choose from, and I'll probably even choose different ones :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Mandiann wrote: "Here are the books I plan to read for sure:

[bookcover:P..."

Ooh! Seems like you have some good books ahead of you! I might try and find some shorter books or maybe some novellas as well.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That is what I am doing as well!

[Trinity]

I am so excited!! :D

[Trinity]

I have no idea what the books I Plan to read, but I really hope I read a lot. :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Glad to hear that! And awesome! Good luck with your goal, I'm sure you can do it. :)

[Trinity]

Thanks, good luck with yours as well! :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thanks. (:

[Miodrag ★❥]

I can't wait for readathon, I changed my list and I think I will change that list again ... I always find book that I want to read more than some on that list, but I'm trying to add there 10-15 books then when Monday comes I will have more books to choose from. I plan to read 5-6 books (maybeee 7), but almost all books that I'm reading have from 200+ to 500 pages. XD
Ohh, this just got on my mind, are those extra books (like 0.1 , 0.5, 1.5) counting like other books or not?

I would say that novellas can count as PAGE points but nothing else. So if you read a novella and it was 37 pages you would get one point. The point thread where you post your points will be up on Sunday with a format for posting points and such. (:

[Mandiann]

I think that makes sense, Jacquelyn. What about mangas?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Well we just changed it. Novellas and prequels (.5, 1.5) will be worth one point plus any page points!

I'm not sure about manga. I will ask Gis what she thinks.

[Mehsi]

Well I just signed up. :) I probably won't make a list for now, since my mood for books changes daily and I don't want to be stuck to a list. I will of course update my list through the week. :)

Woohoo! (: I was wondering when you would decide. Can't wait to see your progress. Happy reading!

Yeah, it took me a bit longer than a week to decide, but today I decided that now was the time to sign up and just go with it. :) After all it sounds so much fun. Thanks! The same to you, happy reading!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

No problem. Glad you are joining and thank you!

[Mehsi]

You're welcome. Can't wait for the read-a-thon to start!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Me neither! :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Going to the library tonight to get some books for the readathon! And then the bookstore on Saturday! :D YAY

[Mandiann]

Yay! I have stopped by my library three times this week to pick up books for the readathon. Can't wait! I am slowly picking away at my currently reading so I can start with a clean plate.
