Are any of you participating in this Read-A-Thon?

[Sophie]

I'd never heard of this read-a-thon before seeing it here, it looks really interesting. I may participate if I can find someone who wants to buddy with me!

[These Violent Delights]

I had just found out about this Read-A-Thon myself! If you need a buddy, I would be happy to buddy read with you since I have yet to find a buddy myself.

[Roseena]

I'm in!

[Daisy]

Aw, this is such a cute concept! I'll give it a go I think.

If you want Robin that would be great! I want to pick my books soon as I'll order them from the library and it can sometimes take a while for them to come in. What's your favourite colour? ;)

[Ali]

I also have no buddy, anyone willing to buddy up? I'm lonely out here...

[Ali]

Also, this is the best thing i've ever heard in my life! I never participated in any reading challenges online!

Yeah, this is a really cool idea for a Read-A-Thon!

[Sophie]

Thanks Robin! My favourite colour is blue. Of your list of 5 star reads I think I'm going to read Fahrenheit 451 during the read-a-thon.

Here are the books I rated 5 star that are on your to-read list:



and here are a couple that aren't (but that I'd recommend):



As for the second challenge do you fancy buddy-reading Cinder?

[These Violent Delights]

Cinder would be great Sophie! I was planning on reading it September anyways.

& I think I'll read Acid.

As for a blue cover, I'll read:


As for the 1st Challenge, here are 3 books I'd like to read that you could choose from:




What 3 books would you like me to choose 1 for you from?

[Daisy]

Ali wrote: "I also have no buddy, anyone willing to buddy up? I'm lonely out here..."

I don't mind being your buddy! Only I can't see your profile because it's private...

[Sophie]

Cinder it is! I'll send you a message so we can decide how many pages to read a day (rather than spamming this thread).

From your 3 picks, I pick Snow Like Ashes for you Robin. Here are my three:


As for my purple book I haven't quite decided what I'm going to read. Possibly

I choose Rebel Angels for you!

[Sophie]

Thanks Robin! Here's my TBR for next week. I have no idea how well I'm going to do as this is my first read-a-thon ever and it's my 17th birthday on Tuesday. Let's do this thing. :D

1. Pick 3 Books & Let Your Buddy Pick 1 For You To Read

2. Buddy Read A Book With Your Buddy

3. Read A Book With Your Buddy's Favorite Color On It

4. Read A Book Your Buddy Rated 5 Stars

5. Read Any Book You Want

[Roseena]

I still need a buddy

[Daisy]

I've added you as a friend now Ali. :) That's funny because I'm 14 too and I've never had anything from Goodreads saying my account should be private. Weird.

For the first challenge, these are my three books for you to pick from:



As for the buddy read, I don't mind buddy-reading any of these:

and if you're up for a re-read I haven't read yet, so that could be fun.

What's your favourite colour? Mine's green.

Looking forward to when this readathon starts!

[Sophie]

Roseena wrote: "I still need a buddy"

Do any of your friends or family read Roseena? You could ask one of them to be your buddy. :)

[Ali]

Hey daisy,

For the first challenge, i have to see from my school library because, unfortunately, my mother says that i can only buy 3 books a month! But im leaning towards Kat, Incorrigible...

However, for the second book, i'm up for crown of midnight. I absolutely loooooooove the book

Also, for the first challenge , these aremy 3 books you can choose from

(I dont know how to put a picture here on an ipad :) )

1. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
2. Absolutely any of the books by cassandra clare
3. Paper Towns by John Green (I havent read it though!)

Also my favourite colour is blue

For challenge no. 4, i would pick...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (I have to refresh my mind, I havent read this book in a long time!)

Good Luck!!!!!

[Roseena]

my family and friends don't really read. which is why I joined good reads lol

[Daisy]

Crown of Midnight would be great, Ali! I will get the ebook tomorrow, do you have a copy? Once we both have one we should be able to work out how many pages/chapters we're going to read per day. :)

Oh, for the first challenge, I think it just means I give you three books and you pick one for me to read, so you won't need a copy. Or at least that's how I think it works. For you can I pick Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare? It sounds quite unique and I've heard it's a great trilogy. If not I'd go with Paper Towns.

That's awesome that you're reading Deathly Hallows! I need to reread that series at some point but haven't got around to it yet. I think I'll read The Magician by Michael Scott for the fourth challenge. I read the first book last year and I've been meaning to pick up this one.

Thanks! You too!

[Daisy]

Okay, this is my TBR for the read-a-thon:

Books read: 3/5

1. Pick 3 Books & Let Your Buddy Pick 1 For You To Read

2. Buddy Read A Book With Your Buddy
✓
3. Read A Book With Your Buddy's Favorite Color On It
✓
4. Read A Book Your Buddy Rated 5 Stars
✓
5. Read Any Book You Want

[Ali]

Oh . . .
okay, daisy
So clockwork angel for me and kat, incorrigable for you. Thats the first challenge

2nd Challenge: i have the copy of crown of midnight so we can read that together

3rd challenge: green colour.................. City of fallen angels (new cover)

4th challenge: Harry potter and the deathly halllows

5th Challenge: city of heavenly fire because right now im re-reading the mortal instruments series and im on the 2nd book.

Thanks Daisy, I think I got mixed up on the way

[Daisy]

Yay, thank you! I'm so looking forward to read Kat. It's been on my to-read forever.

My edition of Crown of Midnight is 418 pages, so the only way I can see us reading it all in the week is by reading 100 pages a day, then from there going to the end of whichever chapter we're on. It's quite a lot, I know, but I guess we'll just have to try our hardest! That would mean on the first day we'd go to the end of chapter 13. Is that okay with you? Let me know when you're ready to start.

[Sophie]

Ah, that's a shame. Goodreads is certainly useful for that.

Daisy wrote: "Yay, thank you! I'm so looking forward to read Kat. It's been on my to-read forever."

Woo! I love Kat, Incorrigible!

[Sophie]

I only have 3 hours left of Day 1 of the #BookBuddyAThon so I'm going to update my progress here. So far I've read 56 pages of Cinder and 72 pages of Rebel Angels. I'm hoping to get a little more of Rebel Angels read before I go to bed though so fingers crossed I can get to page 100 before tomorrow.

[Ali]

Hey Daisy,

Does have to be in order because maybe we can begin crown of midnight tonight, tomorrow for you, i think? And then we can begin the rest of the books.
Good Luck!
And you can begin right now.
(I know I have a head start, I'm sorry but I need to start now of i am going to fininsh it.)
I gotta do a lot of hmwk now, see ya!!!!!

[Daisy]

Hey Ali,

No, I don't think we have to read them in order (well I haven't been anyway!), but starting Crown of Midnight now sounds like a good idea. Shall I come back and tell you when I've read the first one hundred pages, and when you have too we can continue on with the book, and we can do it like that? Or were you thinking of doing it a different way? Haha, good luck with your homework! :)

[Sophie]

Day 3 of the #BookBuddyAThon.

I'm 163 pages into , I've finished and I'm 164 pages into .

How are you guys getting on?

[Daisy]

Wow, looks like you're doing well, Sophie! Yesterday I got a bit behind on my schedule but I think I'm doing okay overall.

Oh, and, Ali, I've now read the first 100 pages of Crown of Midnight, how are you getting on? So far it's a lot better than the first and I'm really enjoying reading it. I'm excited to see where the story goes!

[Ali]

Sorry, I was in school. :)
Im on pg 125 and still reading. Sorry Daisy but i foorgot to message you, i have no phone!!!!!!!

[Daisy]

Don't worry about it, Ali. :) I'm going to try to read up to page 200 tonight, if I can.

[Sophie]

I finished my second book yesterday! and I started . So I have now started all 5 of my #BookBuddyAThon reads and it's just a matter of seeing which ones I can finish over the remaining two days.

[Sophie]

It's all over! Here's my #BookBuddyAThon wrap-up.

During the week I finished:
and I read 205 pages of meaning I read 1468 pages in 7 days. I'm super happy with how I did in this read-a-thon! Hope you are did well too.

[Daisy]

Great job, Sophie. I only managed to read three of my books...

- This was a reread and I rated it 3 stars.

- I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would and gave it 4 stars.

- It was 11:30 at night on the last day but I finished it! I rated this 4 stars.

I also got 284 pages read of , but as I didn't finish it I didn't even start . But I'm going to try and finish New Moon within the next week or so, and then I'll read Kat, Incorrigible anyway.

I'm happy with what I managed to get read but I also think I was a bit ambitious with my goals and probably should have planned it out a bit better. Still, this readathon was a lot of fun and thanks for being my buddy, Ali! :)
