Trinity I was reading a lot today and ended up surpassing my goal and actually got to chapter 24! Hoping today to finish Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie but right now its off to sleep since it is currently 1 am ....


message 252: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments yay....Congrats Trinity!!

Okay, I am really hoping to meet my goal today
I need to finish: A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab & How to Ruin My Teenage Life (How to Ruin, #2) by Simone Elkeles

then get midway through What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

here goes nothing :)


message 253: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments yay! finished: A Darker Shade of Magic


message 254: by Katriann (new)

Katriann (annelisreadingroom) | 2175 comments Great Trisha! I hope you enjoyed A Darker Shade of Magic. I've heard so much good about that book. :)

I think today I want to read roughly 100 pages of Brisingr (The Inheritance Cycle, #3) by Christopher Paolini and at least 50 pages of Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard .


message 255: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Haven't gotten any reading done whatsoever for these past few days. Didn't complete my goal, but hoping to get to chapter 35 in Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie and start reading City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4) by Cassandra Clare and maybe get to page 75 on that one. I am just hoping to get as much reading done as I can today. Any page I get done is an accomplishment :)

How are you finding them? I've read both of those books. I wizzed through CoFA, but Crossed took me a while!

I can't wait to start reading CoFA! But Crossed is definitely taking me some time, it just isn't captivating me. I remember just liking Matched a little bit and hoped this would be better but it's pretty slow and hard to get into

Actually didn't read very much because I got to Skype with my boyfriend for the first time in a while and we may or may not have binged the whole first season of Mr. Robot. :')

I don't have a specific goal today (they'll get more specific when school starts), but today I'm hoping to get through most of Fight for Me (Captivated, #2) by S.J. Pierce

It's really good. At least a 4 star if not a 5, plus it's short so it's easy to breeze through. I've only been reading it for about 2-3 hours (with breaks) and I'm half done! :)
