I have to FINISH:
(468 pages)read 2 more chapters in
and start:
@Trinity - I'm liking Allegiant. I thought it was a bit slow to start and had a bit of trouble not putting it down, but it's gotten way better. Let me know what you think of it! :) I'm about 77% of the way through. Her writing style is super easy to read, so it goes by pretty quickly.@Trisha - Good luck! Let us know what you think about the books you finish, especially The Problem with Forever. I've been wanting to read that but haven't decided if I want to buy it or if I want to wait for the library to get it in.
Goals:
finish (pg. 407 to end) Allegiant (119 pgs)
from 90 to 142 of Truthwitch (52 pgs)
Update:
Allegiant - finished (I might have cried two or ten times)
Truthwitch - page 115/415 (25 pgs)
Good luck everyone! :)I'm going to steal @Chelsea's layout...I like it! Hope that's ok!
Goals:
- Listen to hour 5 of Carry On
- Read to page 250 of The Ask and the Answer
- Read to page 50 of Room
- Listen to hour 25 of Atlas Shrugged
Update:
- Listen to hour 5 of Carry On -- COMPLETE
- Read to page 250 of The Ask and the Answer -- A chapter ended at 248, so I'm going to count that as close enough ;)
- Read to page 50 of Room -- Page 60! Yay!
- Listen to hour 25 of Atlas Shrugged -- 24 hr 30 min
One goal accomplished! I got chapters 5-6 finished in
AND posted on my buddy read for it AND wrote a letter and went to the post office AND took a little nap...not that anyone cares. LOL I'm on vacation on the coast in Oregon and it's beautiful outside. We're going to Gleneden Beach soon to look for "gems" someone told us about yesterday so not sure which other goals I'll get done.
Kelly, that's totally fine! :) Let me know what you think of Carry On so far. I've really been wanting to read her books.And Vicki, that vacation (and the nap) sounds lovely. I hope you're enjoying yourself. I've never been to Oregon.
Good luck everyone! I hope you'll reach you're goals. My goal today is to read to page 200 of
and start reading
.
Good luck everyone!!I didn't quite get my goal yesterday due to not feeling well...still
but I'm staring a new goal today :)
I finished:
I didn't love it because the story line just didn't feel original - but I could see how others love it :)
now my goal is to finish

I'm listening to the audiobook, and I'm not sure if that was the best choice. The narrator is good, and changes voices for the characters, but the POV changes often and I get confused on who is talking if I don't pay close attention.
The first part (it's divided into 3 parts, I think) isn't that interesting. It's a lot of setting up the story and such, which is necessary. It wasn't done in a very entertaining way, but this is also suppose to be the last book in a series, so I guess it fits.
I'm onto the second part and it is getting better. I still feel that it is moving slowly, so I hope the pace picks up soon. Also, I am really enjoying the differences from Harry Potter in the small details. It feels very creative, because as much as it is similar to HP, it also very much so isn't. There are enough minor, but important, differences that I think would make HP almost impossible in this world.
CURRENTLY READING
Goals:
from 115 to 244 of Truthwitch
from 1 to 75 of Lady Knight
from 42 to 185 of Five Comedies (one of my university readings)
Update:
I got absolutely no reading done today, but I did get about five chapters of one of the novels I'm writing completed, so that's good. My Chromebook came in today, so I've mainly been messing around with that. Tomorrow should go way better than today, haha.
Kelly, thanks for letting me know! I'll probably need to grab a physical copy for that if I decide to read it. I'm not good at following POVs in audiobooks, haha.

Thanks, Chelsea. We are having a wonderful time and being SO blessed to have seen whales every day that we've been here. Such a joy and so exciting to see! You should visit one day, especially if you enjoy cooler weather like in the high 60's. At home yesterday it was 104 degrees and in Oregon in Depoe Bay it was sunny and 67, a perfect day!!
I got 3 goals accomplished yesterday:1. I read chapters 5 & 6 in
2. I read 80 pages (28%) of
3. I read 13% of
Today I am going to read Chapters 7 & 8 in
I also plan to finish
because it's so short, only 112 pages.I want to read about 50 pages or so in
Then I am really hoping to just read one or two chapters of
and just start
If I could get all that done while on my last day in Depoe Bay, I'd definitely be happy!
WOW! I hope it was a good reading day Vicki!!

As for me, I haven't gotten a lot of reading done these past few days. I've only gotten 20% in
. My sister wants to watch a few movies today so I have no idea how much reading I'll be getting done today but let me put up a goal for today. I am hoping to get at least 40% in Allegiant. I'm not positive I'll be able to complete it but I'm definitely going to try! Wish me luck :)
I accomplished all of my goals yesterday!! Woo hoo!! Except I realized ch. 8 in 11/22/63 was for today's reading so...I finished one goal for today this morning. Yay!!I'm on the road now so depending on how much I'll need to drive I'm hoping to also finish Defending Taylor and get more read in The Anatomical Shape of a Heart.
Have a safe drive, Vicki :)

Thanks, Trisha. Going through the mountains now. Passed one bad accident involving 2 cars pretty wrecked! 2 ambulances had already taken people. Praying they are okay.
