CHAT: Impromptu Spring Break Readathon

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

This is a thread for everyone to talk leading up to the readathon, and during the readathon! Feel free to use it as you wish! :)

Do you guys have any plans on what you're going to try and read this week?

[★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes]

If only A Court of Wings and Ruin was out now! I'm dying to read it! I'm currently in a kinda re-read mode. I want to re-read some of my favorite series by Tamora Pierce

[[deleted user]]

I love Tamora Pierce! My favorite series is the Protector of the Small. Maybe I'll reread the Tortall series from Alanna to Aly again.

Oh my goodness! Me too! I only just realized when skimming through that the Yamani Islands are similar to Japan, where I was almost going to live for a few years. I think my fascination with Japanese culture first stemmed from reading those books as a kid :) And Kel is just awesome!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I just picked up 17 books from my library today....lol
all new releases. they only put new YA books out every 2 months. so excited I have all these new books but.... I need more time to read!! lol

I'm hoping to get a lot read next week!

YEAH! Kel was my hero, still is really, when I was a kid. I got the books as a gift and I've probably read them 10x and they never get old. And I think you're right, the Yamani Island definitely seem to mirror Japan. When I read them this time I'll have to look closer at the society. Kind of wish Pierce had one series that was set in the Islands.

[★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes]

I'd say we should buddy read them, but they're such quick reads now! I read Alanna: The First Adventure last week in just one morning lol. I'm planning to read the rest of that series and Kel's during the Readathon

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

@Trisha Wow! Ya, you have a lot of books to choose from! I currently go to two different library districts, and so sometimes the books can get a bit out of hand. :)

we could always just buddy read the series, rather than just the book. I'd love to do that.

It would be awesome to have someone to talk about them with! I'll create a buddy read thread!

[★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes]

Tortall Multiple Series Buddy Read!

Let me know if I missed any :)

[Corrine]

So excited! Don't have a a huge stack for books to read but I'll figure it out, I have all the time in the world. :)

I meant to read some last night, but I fell asleep before I could. Oops. :) How was everyone's night? Did you get anything read? Or were you like me, and didn't quite get anything read?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I had a full day yesterday so I fell asleep early...

but today I have hopes to read, get organized (school starts back up tomorrow!) so my house is ready...

Today I hope to get farther in:

It's a little confusing but good so far. I don't think I"m very far in it though....

what are you reading today?

[[deleted user]]

Just finished reading and since it was a reread I knew I would love it. and I did. Now onto the rest of the series.

[[deleted user]]

Can we use manga towards this read-a-thon as well?

[[deleted user]]

I'm hoping to finish Cinder today or tomorrow.

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Yes! Manga and graphic novels totally work! If it's a book, it counts. :)

[[deleted user]]

Nice! thanks. I just finished Black Butler, Vol. 8, it's the last volume that I own and I love this series!

[Michelle]

I think I'm going to start City of Fallen Angels the last time I read a book in this series it was during the last readathon so I think it's time I continue on with this series. I finished Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock 5 minutes after the readathon started so not gonna count that one.

[Kikijanika]

I finished Black Butler, Volume 04 and now I started A Tale for the Time Being. I wish to read at least 100 pages of it.

How are you liking the Black butler series?

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

I finished my first book! I started it before the readathon, but I wasn't even half way through it. So it's nice to have that one done. How has everyone's day been so far?

[Corrine]

Going to finish The Sun Is Also a Star, but I started it before the read-a-thon. Then starting Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

[Vicki]

Whoa!! I just now found this chat thread. I have been able to only read about 60 pages today of but I'm hoping to start

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

My first book of this read-a-thon was a bust. Hopefully my next one will be better.

[Vicki]

Good luck Hannah.

I wasn't so sure about it after the first book because I thought I might get bored with the series if the books keep repeating the same pattern. However, I liked the 3rd and 4th book a lot and I hope the following parts will be great as well :) How about you?

[[deleted user]]

I love them. I actually broke down and bought the first 8 in the series, every time I buy books I get one more. It gets better as it goes on, more dark too. Can't wait for the next volume to come out. I've been having a good reading day, I love Read-a-thons.

Wow! I hope that you enjoy Daughter of the Pirate King! It does sound interesting. :)

[Corrine]

Finished , I'm really disappointed in it, hope the next one is better.

I love read-a-thons, too! Only I have to work on five days, which is a pity, but I hope to get some reading done anyway. The series getting darker sounds promising. I like dark stories!

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, i'm working six days this week so I get what you mean. Yesterday was great for me finished 4 books and made big dents into another 2. Almost finished with Red Queen.

Wow! Good job! Can't wait to hear what you think of Red queen ☺

[Katriann]

I finished today and next I'm going to start . Not sure how much reading I'll get done in the next couple of days because I will have to work on my MA Thesis.
