I was just thinking that it'd be fun to do a readathon now that it is summer and I have more time to read. This is so awesome that you are hosting one now!
Too excited. I keep rearranging what's on my TBR books over and over lol.
I know! I'm actually not sure what I'll be reading yet, so it'll probably be a last minute decision for me. :)
There are so many books I want/need to read. I'm in a contemporary mood though.
I've been in the fanasty mood lately. Mostly when it comes to new worlds. 😀Trying to find something to keep me entertained until the read-a-thon starts.
I'm in a contemporary mood too, Krista! The cheesier the better, at the moment! :P
Me too! I don't really have any new ones right now either :( I need to go get some from the library but I need to read what I have first.
The readathon starts in less than 24 hours! Do you know what books you'll be reading?

Probably the first one I will be reading is
I know I'm probably reading Strange the Dreamer first since I need to read that before the book pool ends but after that... *shrugs*
I'm start with a few short story ebooks I never got to. Then I'll move on to
and
And... GOOO! Have fun everybody! :) :)

I finished my first book. Woo! I haven't read an entire book in one sitting in a long time. This was good motivation. :D

I didn't get as much done as I'd hope I would, only got 60 pages in but I'm hoping tomorrow I can get a lot more :)How about you, Anna?

That's great! How are you liking Legend?
@trinity omg I'm so loving this book. 5 stars hands down. Now I can't wait to get Prodigy part 2 from the library.
Ah! I've been wanting to read it for so long, I'm glad you loved it. I'll definitely be picking it up soon from my library :)

I'm in the same boat as you. :) I got around 39 pages read, but I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better. :)

Aw I wasn't even able to finish reading the book I started before the readathon but I still had fun! The readathon definitely motivated me to read more these past few days though!
I'm so glad you felt some motivation Courtney!We'll definitely be having a longer one soon!! :)

I can't wait. I'm have to keep checking in to see when.

I'm so excited! I would love to have a longer one soon! What with work on Friday and celebrating Canada Day with my family, my reading time was more limited than it usually is
I had a lot of fun! I wasn't as well planned for it as I would like to have been because my husband ended up being off and took us on a mini vacay. LOL
Trisha wrote: "I'm so glad you felt some motivation Courtney!We'll definitely be having a longer one soon!! :)"
Yay! I can't wait, and hopefully I will be better prepared and with it being longer I hope to read a lot more! :)

Nooo, readathon is over where I live! I hope everyone had a great readathon (or has if it's still going on for you). :) I was only able to finish a manga book and a novella but that's okay. I got a decent amount of reading done every day. Just didn't finish the books.
