#8 Read-a-thon: Let's Chat
I'm so excited for this!!I'm really behind in my reading!!
BUT I will be quiet over the next few days, as you guys making reading lists and chat!
I will be camping - but I'll catch up as soon as I get back :)
I would love to join the challenge, but I just started a summer job last week as a camp counselor! There aren't very many camps next week, so many I'll have the week off....
I don't know how much I'll be able to read because I have a week long commitment morning through afternoon Monday-Friday, but I'm going to try and read a lot. I probably won't though, but maybe I'll surprise myself. :)
I don't know how much I will get done since I am on vacation from work that week and have some day trips planned. I will try to finish at least a couple books though.
Yay Jessica!! I love camp counseling jobs!! I volunteer almost all summer as an adult at various summer camps. it's so much fun!I hope you have fun!
Fingers crossed for both of you Amanda and Anna! I hope you have good weeks but also get time to read!

I'm hoping this help me get back on track for reading. I was catching up but then I took two days off because I got into a reading slump where I didn't want to read much. Plus, I'm thinking I will work on my June/July challenge reads!Any ideas on what you will be reading?
Woop! I am so excited for this. I want to get a TON of reading done :D Still not sure what books I have in mind but I'm gonna start searching soon
Glad to see how excited everyone is! I leave for vacation on June 24th but I am hoping to get as MUCH reading done as possible. I also have a few appointments that week (one being getting my braces off, YAY!) so we shall see. I am excited though!!
Jacque, you'll have to send me a picture once your braces are off!! The last pic you sent me you were only 12! Lol
I will! Oh boy, I've changed quite a bit (hopefully for the better LOL)!
You definitely have changed a lot! Good luck with the braces!
I think the first book I'm going to read is

but mainly reading lol
Darn, I did not get the reading done today I was hoping. I had hoped to start all new books but I have 2 I'm in the middle of ....My husband and I spent the evening watching movies and so i didn't get my reading done :)
but I'm ready to start in 2 min! Anyone else still up and ready to start?
It's start time? I was thinking it's tomorrow night!! Lol
And I'm up by the way for at least 3 hours!
Trisha, I did the same thing except I ended up taking 3 of my grandsons to see Finding Dory in 3D. I haven't been watching the clock but for some reason totally was thinking I start tomorrow night at 9 (the 19th) but for me it's the 18th at 9, so staying up later is easier for me. Anyway so I also have some books I wanted to finish first, but this year I might not finish them until after because I want to TRY reading 10 books, but you know my busy schedule summer or not, so doubtful but I'm going to try.
GOOD LUCK READING EVERYBODY!!! :o)
I didn't realize that this started! I kept thinking that it started at midnight, but I didn't factor in the time difference. I'm going to try and read some before I go to bed. :)
yay! so glad you guys are still up!!I just read about 100 pages :)
and so far I hope to stay up a little later!
Hey, Trisha, you referenced mad libs and bingo for points. Are we doing that and if so where are they?
I wasn't online when this started, but I was still awake and read 173 pages. I should be able to finish my first book today before heading to the baseball game.
This started exactly the same time as my work shift. Now I'm finally home and can start reading :) Yay!
Hey everyone! I don't think I'll get a lot of reading done today. I was just at church. We are going to the cemetery to visit my grandfather and then we are going to a baseball game to celebrate Father's Day. I am excited! However, this means little to no reading today... :( I'll try to squeeze some in tonight!
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone :D I'm going to continue with
first and then figure out what else I'll read this week :)

It's been such a busy day because of yoga and gym. I'm just now starting to read. :D Well, luckily I can spend most of the evening reading. I'm determined to finish the last 30 pages of
