I got about 50 pages of Agent 6 read yesterday morning before the kids arrived and the festivities began. Had a fabulous time then flopped into bed at the end of the day without having read another word. Today's goals: finish A6 and start Balzac!

ok that puts my mind at rest haha! Thanks Beth! Just let me know how soon you want to start the buddy read on it, I'm up for anytime. Wont make any promises as to how quickly I will read it though since my work is going into overtime and my dad just back from hospital.
So far I have read 5 chapters of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. Now that the Christmas rush is over, I am hoping to really start the readathon. I want to read Mugby Junction by Charles Dickens. Amazon keeps recommending the Signalman, which is part of the Mugby Junction collection.

I'm reading Carry On, but I don't anticipate getting much reading in for this readathon. We're hosting family for holidays which means cooking and cleaning and keeping people entertained. This will be a slow down for the new year.
Only about 100 pages left to go in
It's kind of different from the other books in the series. I still love Diana Gabaldon but I'm having a few issues.(Not that I would ever stop being a huge fan!)
Just finished Life As We Knew It - an interesting end the of world book for the end of the year.I'm now on my way to finishing Fifth Business. I think I'll get it done today or tomorrow so will add another book to my list. Not sure which yet!
Ok, sounds good Beth! I have a few books I wanna get through to finsh up series so that works well for me!
Finished Agent 6 which means I finished PopSugar's Ultimate Reading challenge in the nick of time! Got started on Balzac last night so I'm on track.
Finished Shatter me and am 40 pages into Unravel me, and i also made a 20p progress in Olive Branches Dont Grow on Trees. very happy so far

Well, I unexpected finished Carry On today. I wasn't planning on having that finished for at least another day or two. Next up: All The Bright Places.

Hi everyone. This readthon gave me the energy to finish (yesterday) "The second coming"by john Niven. if anyone is interested, I gave this book 2.5 stars.It's a funny book full of humor and rock but it is not my genre. it's about God decision to sent Jesus back on Earth to save humanity from self destruction.
The first part is very good and well structured but later the book loses its potential and focuses to much on unuseful details.
I'll be starting my new year with no books on hold so I'm pretty happy! Good luck everyone
I'm touring around New Orleans and eating in some seriously fabulous restaurants, but trying to keep an eye on our Readathon as well. Not making a lot of progress, but am halfway through my current ebook. :)
Okay, so far I have read:
Finished The Uncommon Reader - 80 pages
We Will Be Shelter: Poems for Survival - 279 pages
The Silver Linings Playbook - 289 pages
Part way through When Books Went to War: The Stories that Helped Us Win World War II - 90 pages
Total: 738 pages

Had a little more time to read today, finally! Thus far I have finished Less Than Zero and I'm now about halfway through The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl.
Started Red Rising yesterday. It's been on my to-read shelf since it's sequel came out. Book #3 is due out in February. Great so far.
Finished Fifth Business - such a great book! Now I've started something different - Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. It's quite interesting so far to see a bit of a glimpse into North Korea.
