EEE!! I'm so excited! I'll be working at a day camp most of this week but I'll still come home and read!! and post, but might not chat much
I work the 7-11 but I am off the 12 and 13 so I will do the majority of my reading right at the end.So excited! Slow at work so perhaps I will be able to get a few audiobooks in during work...

At least you are off 2 days! Hoping you are slow at work! *fingers crossed* lol!
I hope so too!! It is supposed to be the time of year my work is slow but I have so many brides booking destination wedding groups so I have actually been fairly busy.
I will be here chatting again, still not sure if I will participate, since I don't have vacation until August. :)

The last read-a-thon I was on vacation but in Hawaii, so I read but didn't keep good track of which pages on which days. Hopefully this time I'll be better organized to do that. If I don't record right away, I forget!

Are you guys getting excited?! :D
so excited!!!! I might go camping on the 12 and 13 which will be great as I will be able to read almost all day long both days!
That's awesome, Mandiann! :D
I have to finish my current read:
today so I can start the readathon off with fresh, new books but I find it to be super slow and dragging on..
Good luck with finishing your book Jacquelyn, sorry to hear that it's moving slow.
Thanks, Amanda! :) Do you have any reading plans today to finish up before tomorrow?
I am ready for tomorrow! Still a long way till the end of Outlander, I'll try to finish 50% of the book, and then continue with it after read-a-thon. Book is SO good and now I can't stop watching all those Outlander GIFs and when I finish with book I'm planning to watch trailer for TV show like million times (already saw poster and LOVE IT). I really can't wait for August 9th and Sam Heughan as Jamie is perfect ahh *so excited*
Woo! Glad you are enjoying your book! :)
I am all set for tomorrow. I finished the book I was reading this morning. Can't wait to start tomorrow :)
I'm working on
and I also want to be done with my book so I can start fresh. Last time I wasn't and (you know me, Jacque) I messed up on my points again. LOL You have to stay on top of me!I don't know why but I am so excited for this to begin!
lol, it was a little mistake! You're all good! :D I'll keep you on the right track this time around. ;)I know why you're excited! The week will be filled with talking to bookish friends, books, and snacks to keep you reading!! ;)
Oh, Jacque, you are SO smart! LOL The one thing I DON'T need is snacks! LOL But maybe I should get myself just a LITTLE chocolate! lOL
:D LOL! a little chocolate could never hurt. ;)
Good luck, Kathryn! How much do you have left?
I wish I could start fresh but that's just not going to happen. I have three I am currently reading and I am not very far into any of them.
I have about 134 pages left of mine so we have about the same amount. :)
Vicki wrote: "Oh, Jacque, you are SO smart! LOL The one thing I DON'T need is snacks! LOL But maybe I should get myself just a LITTLE chocolate! lOL"Chocolate? give me some LOL hahahah I love chocolate.
I agree with you Vicki about snacks, but I just can't help myself, just give me some snacks and in couple of minutes it will be like "snacks? where?". LOL
I have about 100 pages left of Criminal and then I might get in a novella or better yet I should take a nap. If I rest my head on my couch and turn on the TV, I always fall asleep! Why doesn't that happen in bed? Lol
lol! I was thinking of taking a little nap as well since I want to read some at midnight. We'll see how that goes..
Good luck, Jacque! I get to start at 9:00 my time so that's a little easier than a midnight start.
Yeah, I should make it centered around my start being 9 PM. lol ;)
:D But it is just easier to center it around midnight.
Just finished my current read! YAY! So now I think I will try and take a nap and put on an alarm that will wake me up at midnight (my time) so I can get some pages in right at start time. :)

I so wish I could do that! If I took a nap and woke up later on, I would NEVER be able to go back to sleep!
Yeah, I ended up not falling asleep. lol fail!
Ugh is it just me or did time slow down??? I still have another hour and 10 min before I can start my 2 buddy read books! Lol I swear it's taking forever :)
Trisha wrote: "Ugh is it just me or did time slow down??? I still have another hour and 10 min before I can start my 2 buddy read books! Lol I swear it's taking forever :)"YES! time is going by sooo slow!
So what book is everyone starting off with? :)
Loved that book! :D Enjoy!
