Thanks Miodrag! 50 is also quite a lot for one week and I see you also got quite a nice number this time. Congrats. :)

HOLY MOLY girl!! 179 points? OMG! I've never seen anyone rack up that many points in one week! WOW!!! Congra..."

I've done really well for my reading speed combined with other commitments. I believe I have 47 points. I've read 9 or 10 books, but 3 were under 100 pages. So I think I've read 7 "real" books. LOL

Oh congrats, that is quite a good number of points and books. And lol, 100 pages or under are also real books though (at least for me). :)

I know, but it feels like I'm cheating. LOL

[Mehsi]

I can somehow imagine why you would think that. I had the same feeling a year ago (with manga and also with children's books (which are often under 100 pages)) but my boyfriend convinced me those are books as well and they count just as much as bigger books do. :)

[Vicki]

True...reading is reading! :o)

[Mehsi]

Yep. :)

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Well, I'm done! I just finished my last book for the challenge, since I highly doubt I'll finish another book today.
But I read 9 books altogether so that's pretty good!

[Mehsi]

Congrats Jessica. :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Congrats, Jessica!

[Mehsi]

Well I am off to bed. Will probably try to finish to read that book I still want to read for the readathon (which would bring my total points to 203). Let's see if I can stay up long enough to read it. :)

Thanks again to the mods for making this readathon, it was really great fun.

And also good luck (and also have fun) to everyone else with reading their last books.

See you all tomorrow. o/

[Vicki]

Jessica, great job!

[Mandiann]

Well I didn't get much reading done while camping. And something terrible happened while I was camping. My kobo broke :(

[Jessica]

Well, I didn't read as much as I'd hoped to this week. I've finished five and started another but I'm not sure I'll finish it today.

Not sure. I went to turn it on and read a book and the screen was broken.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Oh no! I hope that you are able to fix it!!

[Mehsi]

Sorry to hear about your Kobo Mandiann, hope it can be fixed.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

The readathon has come to a close! Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope you had fun and read a lot!

WAY TO GO GIRLS! :o)

The read-a-thon gave me the impetus I needed to read some books and get ahead for my reading goal. Thanks for creating it, Jacque!

[Mehsi]

Congrats to Lynn, Jessica and Vicki. :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

No problem, Vicki! I love these readathons with you guys. :)

[Rachel]

I loved this read-a-thon. I read a total of 5 books for the week.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Good to hear that, Rachel! You did awesome! :)

[Mehsi]

Congrats Rachel. :)

[Vicki]

Congrats to all of us who read! :o)
