[Trinity]

I am starting with
Good luck everyone!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I have about 45 pages left in my first book!

Hope you all are doing great and are enjoying your reads!

[Amanda]

I have to finish one book up quickly first and then I will be starting my first book. I plan on beginning with

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I finished my first book and am now 80 pages into

[Jenni]

I finished The Heir!

Quick question, are ARC's allowed? I have a few ARC's from BEA still that I wish to read this holiday break, but I'm not sure if we can count them? I know they aren't allowed in the book pool challenge, and with good reason.

:D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Jenni, feel free. You can read anything you wish. :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I just finished my second book!!

How are you all doing?

[Vicki]

Wow, Jacque! That is fantastic! I LOVE the whole format and cover etc. of !! I need to read it but I have some other books due and challenge books I need to get to as well.

[Sarah]

Family's been over all day but I got through a lot of and am starting

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I finally cleaned up and put away all our Christmas decor from inside and outside and have started re-organize one room and our garage! Phew! It's been a busy day!

I'm starting and then

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I've finished three books already today ( )
I was trying to read as much as possible because I'll be busy babysitting most of the week, so today was my main chance at reading!

Up next is ! It's short, so maybe I'll be able to finish before tomorrow...

[Linsey]

I finished my first book today. I only have to read three more books to complete my Goodreads Reading Challenge! I am rereading some of the 7th heaven tv show book series books. They are short so it shouldn't take me long to complete my Goodreads Reading Challenge!

[Vicki]

Well, I finished up on day 1 but it didn't cout for points since I had read half the book prior to the start of the readathon.

I decided to start with a book my husband's sister gave us that reminded her of their mother who passed away on October 31 of this year. A note came with it saying that their mother always believed in making a difference in a person's life, even if it was just one person and she surely did! So I read on day one.

I started but barely read any of it because my other sister-in-law called with news that she's developed something caused by her cancer treatments and now she needs a bone marrow. So that news left us unsettle throughout the night so my reading all but came to a stop. Hubby needed me so family DOES come first. Hoping to get to it today after taking my daughter my NOOK so she can borrow it while she recoups from her ankle surgery.

[Jenni]

I'm a school librarian, and had really high hopes for this week, but I forgot much stuff I have to do on my week off. UGG.

It's 10 here, and I haven't had a chance to read yet. Blah.

Reading Yesterday/today as book 2.

Honestly, I would be happy with reading 7 books this week.

[Tashy]

I did pretty well yesterday but on a 12 hour shift today, been reading/listening to audiobooks on my breaks so could be worse

[Miodrag ★❥]

I finished my first book and started reading earlier today. It's two-book story and I liked characters and story from first book, so I continued reading! Bummed that we didn't get anything from Mark's past in first book, but happy to see that we will find out more about that in the 2nd book (and more happy that in 2nd book we see some things from Mark's POV! <3) and I hope to see a happy ending for those two. :)

[Running With Wolves]

I'm reading and but I'm having to study so not getting to read much

[Cara]

I'm working today but I keep sneaking chapters of . So good and not what I expected.

[Jenni]

I have a half-organized library now, and I'm trying so hard to fight the urge to finish organizing it, and read instead!

With that being said, do any of you have a bookstagram or normal instagram and posting photo updates of your readathon? I am, feel free to follow me, and post your username! I'd love to follow more! (I'm also a mom, photographer and school librarian. My instagram is all about those three things. ;-) )

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

I completely messed up and forgot to write out my posts for the week! So, I don't know how much I will be able to read today. I am currently reading which is a novella, so I might be able to finish it today. How are your guy's day going?

[Amanda]

I have more time to read tonight since my work closed early due to freezing rain and sleet in the area. I am glad that I can spend the rest of the night reading.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yikes! I hope you stay nice and warm and safe Amanda!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I seem to just be STARTING books today, no finishing!
hopefully that means I can finish them all tomorrow!! :)

[Miodrag ★❥]

I stayed late to finish reading couldn't help myself. XD
My next book to read will be ;)

Thanks :) The ice should be melting today once the temps get above freezing.

I hope you can finish some books today. :)

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

I finally finished reading Tiger's Promise after finishing my posts for the week. It is currently 4:30 am, and my laptop is refusing to connect to the internet. So, hopefully I will have better luck when I wake up. Whatever time that ends up being.

[Trinity]

I have finished my first book and halfway through :)

[Linsey]

I completed my 2015 Goodreads reading Challenge! I ended up reading 50 books this year! Most of the books that I read for it were 300 pages and up. There were a couple that were 200 pages and less, but not very many.

I got a lot of great books for Christmas that I can't wait to read!

[Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫]

My subscription for Oyster just expired....I am so down in the dumps! (If you aren't aware, Oyster WAS an app that I could most easily describe as "Netflix for books"...$8.99/month and I had unlimited access to a mass amount of books!!!) They just finished up their last month in business and I am so sad. :( I loved that the app allowed me to read multiple books at a time. I could start a book and abandon it if I needed to. Or I could just browse! So now I'm trying to figure out what to do...Kindle Unlimited doesn't seem to have as many YA options as Oyster did. I'm sort of looking into Scribd? Or there's the good old-fashioned library. *sigh* Why in the middle of the read-a-thon???? *end rant* Sorry, all!

[Vicki]

Lindsay, I hope you find something that works for you!

[Maddie]

I'm so glad with my progress this time :p Read 4 books so far, and it's the 4th day. Planning to read one a day basically, because I've got my boyfriend over and we're just binge-reading the same series :p

[Miodrag ★❥]

Just finished with my 4th book (5*) which was pretty good, because I really liked it I am planning to start reading tonight .
Tomorrow I don't think I'll have time to read, so I hope to read maybe 1 or 2 more books before readathon ends.
All in all, I set my goal to 4 books and I am here already, pretty fast I thought I wouldn't read that much because I wasn't reading much this year. But I'm happy with what I read, 3 out of 4 books were pretty good reads! ^^

ugh! I'm so sorry

I have a subscription to Scribd
https://www.scribd.com/

it's kind of the same thing
AND I can send you a free 30 day trial link if you want to test it out!! Let me know!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I just realized I have a bunch of library books due by 1/3
and one of my goals for this year is to try to read all the books I check out from the library

so I've had to re-vamp my list for the rest of my week...so today I'm finishing up

starting:

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Is it another 24 hours until the readathon ends?

[Maddie]

I've finished already, because that's the time-zone I'm in, so it could be for you. I managed to get 7 and just over half of another book read. So I'm really pleased with that. Just frustrated I couldn't get my last 6 points from my book that I didn't get a chance to finish.

[Miodrag ★❥]

Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd) wrote: "Is it another 24 hours until the readathon ends?"

I think we have whole Saturday to read... (I planned to finish 5th book today)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong?!

[Maddie]

It depends on what time zone you're in. When I joined she gave me a time to start on the 27th and a time to end on the 2nd, but maybe it was just me that followed it.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Everyone should be ending at the same time.

Everyone has 15 hours and 50 minutes left to read.

Yes!
