I was thinking about that but I don't know how many of us actually use Twitter.

Amanda | 4527 comments I don't either.


message 56: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 95 comments I have just used it on another readathon and it was super fun so I thought I would suggest it.

I am super excited! 30 minutes!


message 57: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Just because not everyone has the ability to use it doesn't mean no one can.


message 58: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 95 comments If anyone wants to join me on twitter, my twitter name is @blog_gal. I think I will mainly be using #readathon for tweets related to this readathon because I will also be doing 2 other readathons that overlap with this readathon.

Lanaia (marjetica) I started with Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3) by Veronica Rossi , it's a pretty fast read!

I've been in a sort of reading slump these past few days, so I hope this readathon will change that.

Good luck, everybody! :)


message 71: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi I hope your reading slump will be over soon Lanaia. Reading Slumps suck. :( And have fun with reading your book.


message 72: by Lanaia (new)

Lanaia (marjetica) Thanks, Mehsi, I really hope this readathon will help :).
I've been so stressed out lately, I could hardly read anything because I couldn't concentrate.

Have fun with your books too!

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments I'm half way done with Down London Road (On Dublin Street, #2) by Samantha Young God, HELP ME! I love this book! Just going to eat something and then get back to reading.
I lost it at one part, but it's good now and there's still 50% to read. It just needs to stay as good as it is now and everything will be ok! :D


message 82: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Good luck with your books Emily and Miodrag. :)

Hey Mehsi :P
I just wanted to say "you too", but I read up there you are not participating (but if you are reading something, happy reading <3 :P). LOL I hope you are enjoying in this too hot Monday , at least here is. I hate summer and hot weather, I am one of those who don't like too hot and too cold, middle is my friend. XD


message 84: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Hello Miodrag. :)

Lol, yeah, I decided not to participate, mostly because I only would have like 3 or 4 days that I could participate (this Friday to Sunday I will be at a con, so no reading then) and also some other reasons. :)
Thanks, I am reading something, a short novella first, then if I still have time a new book.

It is hot here too, been like that for the past 3 days or so (been around 27 to 32 degrees celsius). I don't mind summer, but it would be nice if it wasn't this humid when it is hot.

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments @Mehsi

Con like Comic-con? :P Have fun!

Similar weather here for the past couple of days. Last month it was like raining whole time, and then flood, it was really bad. Lately weather was like 10-15 degrees one day and then next around 25 and now for the past few days it's just hot and if it keeps going like this for couple of days we will be around 40 degrees pretty soon. I don't remember having Spring this year, it was like going from Winter straigh to Summer :/


message 86: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Something like that only then for anime/games/manga. :)

Oh, flood, that is bad. Hope everyone and everything is fine there.
It doesn't get that bad here, even if it rains a lot, thank Lord for that since it rains quite a bit here at times.
Urgh, I also hate it when the weather does that, it makes me feel sick and tired after a few days of up and down temperatures. :( O.0 40 degrees? That is way too hot. Good luck there, stay hydrated.

I really liked Gone Girl, it was so dark and twisted, but brilliant! Enjoy :)


message 91: by April (new)

April Ballantyne I am so excited. I was counting down the minutes that I could start. I am starting with Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) by Richelle Mead . I started it as soon as I could and I am almost done. My pile of books has been calling my name but I wanted to wait till we could start.
