I ended up busy ALL DAY! So I'm finally into my first book, about half way!


message 56: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 413 comments I've also had a busy day so I've only been able to read about 75 pages. Have to go do more stuff tonight so I probably won't get too a lot done. But I started Clockwork Angel.

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6935 comments I hope to get more reading done. I've been out of town and we were on our way back today. However, the other vehicle with us broke down and we are now stuck for the night. I do get to spend tomorrow in the car all day. So I'm hoping to get a book done.


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 1020 comments I haven't gotten any reading done yet! I started very late last night, but I spent all day with my friends today! I haven't seen many of them since August, so I was very happy to see them again :)

Trisha | 30284 comments I've finished my first book

and I've started another
I've decided to go ahead and start 2 more before finishing another one (just to mix it up)

I'm started Kids of Appetite by David Arnold and really like it so far (about 150 pages in)

I'm now starting Bad Blood (The Naturals, #4) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes to finish up a series

and then starting Lady Thief (Scarlet, #2) by A.C. Gaughen because I absolutely loved the first one :)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Oh no, Hannah! I missed your post! I hope you have a warm place/shelter. It's no fun breaking down. Life is always full of surprises!


message 65: by ☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie (new)

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6935 comments Luckily we were right by a decent sized area that had some hotels.


message 66: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm glad to hear that, Hannah! It could've been disastrous in some places! Are you on the road all day today?


message 67: by ☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie (new)

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6935 comments Hopefully for only about 6 hours but that should be long enough for me to get a book read.


message 68: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I like reading in our car when we are on trips too, but if my husband has on the radio it's hard for me to concentrate.

message 92: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments how is everyone doing today??

I'm struggling with Goodreads (which is making getting organized really tough! LOL)

so I'm moving on to reading

today I'm reading: Lady Thief (Scarlet, #2) by A.C. Gaughen Too Late by Colleen Hoover The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware Blood Red, Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas


message 93: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Whoa! That's a lot of books!! Good luck, Trisha!

Yeah, GR is messing up for me a lot today. It keeps saying "error" and not letting me go to certain pages.


message 94: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 4527 comments I am having lots of problems on the Goodreads page today too. Tons of error messages.


message 95: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments I hate that it's not just me...but know that you aren't alone! Ugh
I just keep hitting the refresh button and I'm getting to all the pages, slooooowly but surely!


message 96: by Ashlyn (new)

Ashlyn | 1842 comments I've had to rewrite one comment like 5 times before it actually posted. Good luck to everyone today!


message 97: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Oh thank you! I thought my computer was glitching up when goodreads kept saying error and didn't let me load pages. I must've restarted my computer 3 times! And today wasn't the best day for it to be messing up I was trying to organize all my challenges for this month!

As for the readathon- I didn't read much yesterday (mostly 20 pages I believe it was) or today for that matter. Since they called me into work yesterday because it was really busy due to New Years. And then right as I got home I had to get ready for a party with the family which didn't end till 1 am. Hoping to get more reading these next few days!


message 98: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments I hope you have a few good reading days Trinity!! But your party sounds like it was fun (and work is good too! :D)


Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd) (bookish_anna) Last day! What's everybody reading?


message 100: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm finishing up The Safest Lies and we will see from there what kind of time I have left. It's been so fun with the Mad Libs & BINGO!
