I'm so glad for the inspiration of this readathon -- my family has been spending 2 or 3 hours every morning since Christmas sitting in the Livingroom together, reading. I've just finished _Ex Libris_today, and am moving on to _The Wood Wife_!
I didn't read a lot the first two days of the readathon. I had work, but now I am back❤️

Wow, everyone is doing great so far!Elizabeth, I love that your family is taking time to read every day. That sounds like a wonderful way to spend time to gene and make progress on your goals!
I just finished Snow Apples. A lovely little book. Now off to read Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. Should be interesting!
I've read and finished Shatter me on Xmas Day and day 2, I've also finished Olive Branches Dont Grow on Trees last night, and am about half way through with Unravel me :) So I have two more books to read to complete my 2015 reading challenge and I think I'll succeed if I manage to finish Unravel me (and probably Hugo Cabret afterwards) and there is currently a great possibility of succeeding so I'm very happy :)
This is what I have read so far:Jake Undone
Worth the Fight
The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for?
I can't believe there is only one day left. This week has flown by! I'm starting Luckiest Girl Alive today.

My other major read this week has been Fodor's New Orleans 2016. Lots of interesting trivia and history bites as well as good travel advice. I pretty much read it cover to cover when I wasn't wandering around the city.
Happy New Year all! I can't believe the readathon is over already. Hopefully everyone got a chance to catch up on some great reads and get set for 2016, it's going to be a great year!
Thanks for taking part all - we will have plenty of more readathons to come in 2016.

It helped my finish off a couple of mini-challenges so I can start 2016 with a clean slate! (Well, mostly clean.) ;-D
Great end of the year - yesterday I finished Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home and Epitaph. Happy New Year to everyone!
That's great Renee, I'm glad it was a success for you!
Well,I'm did not quite finish my book, Imagination First by Eric Liu, but I read more than I probably would have. It's an interesting read about fostering innovation and creativity. I have time today to read, so what a great way to start off the new year by finishing a book. Thanks for the motivation.
Yes, thank you for the readathon! I didn't wind up finishing quite as many books as I'd hoped, but I'm on track to finish my first book of 2016 today, because of the readathon's headstart! :) Happy New Year, folks!
