Dash to the New Year Readathon Progress

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

I finished Framley Parsonage. I am reading it with a group, but I couldn't read it at that slow a pace. I loved it and really really wanted to know how it was all going to turn out.

I completed my 80th book, Cheaper by the Dozen shortly after midnight. I have completed my book marathon. It was fun. Good luck to those going for the last hours and minutes of 2016!

Congrats - great way to finish the year!

Congrats everyone! I finished Drum Taps and now only need Mansfield Park to finish!

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

I finished five books and have 2 to go-N or M? and the Conan Doyle book.
My husband and I are going out in the afternoon, so that leaves the evening for reading.

[Margie]

I read The Reactive (good but grim) and The Uncommon Reader. I think that's it for 2016 but the readathon helped me finish off Modern Mrs Darcy and Popsugar challenges and I hit my Goodreads goal. Hooray!

Thanks to everyone for sharing their reading this year. Happy New Year!

What did you think of The Uncommon Reader?

It was an enjoyable read. Very light and funny - perfect way to end the year (and very short!).

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

Thanks, I will keep that in mind when I need a break from "weighty tomes".

[Cindy]

Thanks to the readathon motivation, I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. It was a very complex story, confusing at times. It will challenge your viewpoint and make you think. Great story, my last read for 2016.

Margie, congrats on your goal! Cindy, I shall be picking that book up sometime soon! Sonya, how is it so far?

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

Thanks to the readathon, I've finished off my reading year with some really fun little books. Mostly holidays romances and comedies. Just a perfect way to send out the old year.

[Jenny, Certified Bookworm]

Sounds like fun Renee!

[sonya]

It's pretty good. Def worth a look!

[Marianne]

Got 2 out of 3 books. I'm very happy with that. My last book? Talk Before Sleep by Elizabeth Berg was amazing. Highly tecommmended

[Allison, Quest Hound]

It looks like I'll manage to finish one more book for the readathon and the year. This one is a treat. I'm really enjoying it. Snow Like Ashes.

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

I finished book 6- N or M? which was a fast fun read to end the year. I got halfway through the Doyle book and made a little progress in Little Women.

Happy New Year everyone.

[Jenny, Certified Bookworm]

Happy new year everyone! A good finish to this year for everyone it looks like!

[Allison, Quest Hound]

Happy new year Jenny!

Happy New Year to us, every one!

Before new years, I finished Island of Glass. Amazing book!
