You can pick the weeks. I know I do not own all of the authors here but the ones I have I am going to try and read something.

Thank you so much. I will definitely be participating in the ones that I have.

[Andrea]

You're welcome.

[Christina]

For this week I'm going to be reading Falling Kingdoms.

[Andrea]

I am going to finally read Falling Kingdoms. I've been meaning to and meaning to and something always comes up.

[R.J.]

I haven't heard of this author, but I plan to look into the listed books above

[Andrea]

You haven't heard of Morgan Rhodes? Oh wow. I have heard of her but never read one of her books. I have to say that I did not read the book of the month when she was our book of the month. I had meant to. I don't plan to plan out many books this year so I can get in the books of the month.

[Wendy]

I am going to read Falling Kingdoms I have had the book for almost a year and have meant to read it, now this Challenge gives the push to read it that I needed.

[Andrea]

That is why I am hoping with all of the challenges we are offering now that it pushes us to read that book we've had forever. I know that I am hoping that for myself.

[Jacquelyn]

Darn it! I left my Falling Kingdoms back at my college apartment! :(

[Andrea]

Oh darn! When will you be back at your college apartment?

[Wendy]

Started Falling Kingdom late last night, so far I am liking it. (view spoiler)[ I really can't stand Aron and I hope he gets his. Felt so bad for Jonas and his sister when Tomas was killed, horrible began. So sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Wendy]

Finished and I really liked it. Definitely some rough spots for me, meaning I needed a tissue and didn't have one close. Wasn't expecting to need one for this book. So if reading it I would say have tissues near by.

(view spoiler)[ I was so sad when Theon died. I so hope that the prince starts to turn around in the next book. He seems like he is in so much turmoil, evil just isn't him. I love the sister Lucia, she is a tad bit naive when it comes to the King. She tends to believe all that he tells her. looking forward to reading the next book and see were this goes. (hide spoiler)]

[Andrea]

I will make sure to have some tissues nearby then. I'll be starting this book tomorrow.

[Jacquelyn]

Andrea, on the 14th. :/

Sad Face.

[Christina]

Finished Falling Kingdoms. I really enjoyed it. The author did a great job of making me hate the appropriate people. Very sad in some places. I had never heard of this author before this challenge but I will definitely continue the series.

[Andrea]

I inhaled about 150 pages last night. I plan to do the same tonight to finish the book tomorrow. I am loving this book. Next week I shall only focus on the theme challenge because I own nothing by the next author.

[Andrea]

2 hrs and 10 min. to read this. I got this I got this. I might not have this.

Did you get it?

[Andrea]

I did get it. I couldn't put it down. My kids and husband were up late watching Star Wars Rebels and normally I would have watched with them but I was just so caught up in the book.

[Roxanne]

I read this one, a little late I know, but this the latest book in the Falling Kingdoms series.

[Andrea]

I am almost ready to pick up the next book in the Falling Kingdom series. I may read that during this read-a-thon if I finish the two books I have planned.

[Roxanne]

I love the series...

[Andrea]

I loved the first book but it gave me such a hang over that I had to wait before starting the next book.

[Wendy]

I am ready to start the next book also, I just have quite a few book to read first though so I am hoping to start the second book by the end of the month

[Andrea]

I am hoping that I should start the second book by the first of Feb. That is my goal.
