yay! good luck with red rising, i found it very hard to get through but the ending was amazing!

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

I was thinking that as well. Maybe it’ll help me finish Diabolic and Empress so I can finally move onto Red Rising. 😍

[Lena]

Thing is, I'm in a different time zone than most you guys. Will that be a problem? 12 p.m noon should be 6 p.m for me xD So I'll just read from 6 p.m on Sunday to 6 p.m on Monday with as little sleep as possible? Oh boy haha
Anyone wanna buddy-read Strange the Dreamer?

[JoAnna]

I hope to finish . Been stuck on it since the middle of December.... Its just so stale compared to the first two books... :/

honestly, just dnf if it causes you headaches.... life’s too short to read books you don’t enjoy

[Lena]

@JoAnna I couldn't agree more with what amy just said. just reading a book for the sake of finishing it does you no good and is certainly NOT worth your time!

[JoAnna]

@Amy. I so would dnf.... BUT.... Sadly i spent $9.99 on the eBook and $12.99 on the audio. I was so pumped to have it because I loved the first two. Now I feel obligated to finish... and Im only on chapter 6😓

[JoAnna]

@Lena. Your right! But I'm gonna do it! 😲 Maybe I will end up getting into it. Ya never know till ya try.

Ok :-) I like your spirit!

[JoAnna]

@Lena. Thanks! :D

[Lena]

@JoAnna Let us know how it goes :))

[Sabrien]

I would. . . but right now I'm in the sobusyicanbarelybreathe days but I wish I could because the last one was great. The amount of reading I'd get done would hardly qualify for a readathon. . . next one, I guess. Have fun!

[emily]

SERVUS! schön, dass du dabei bist :-)

[Lena]

Grüßgott Lucie :)) Nice to have you join us!

[sky ⚡️]

im in again! this will hopefully get me motivated to do my homework before sunday night haha. super excited!

[Jessica]

Hey everyone!!! So this would be my first time joining and I expect to finish Red Queen and A Darker Shade of Magic. I work Sunday but off Monday. We shall see how much I get to read 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Holly]

Hi! :) This will be my first readathon.. actually the first time I've done anything in a group but I'm so excited to be joining you all! I'm hoping to finish Red Rising (I started it months ago, lost hope around the middle, but I really want to see it through to the end) I also want to read another book, but I haven't decided which one yet.. I'm thinking maybe The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

[Sabrina]

Just found this group and as it turns out I’m totally free Sunday. Will be reading either gracefully Grayson or magnus Chase: the sword of summer. I may also start east of eden on Monday too. Happy reading :)

[emily]

hi everybody, thanks so much for joining in! this is going to be fun

[Ava]

Ah, I'd love to join but can't this time.

I hope that it's not bad that I don't actually know anyone in this group? :') I'd like to know you guys better ^^

It's not bad at all that you don't know anyone right now. We welcome you with open arms and can't wait to get to know you as well. There are many chances for us to talk and get to know each other =)

[Lilly]

Oh. This is be my first one with the group ... excited!!

[hope ❅]

Yes!!! I’m down for this! I’m going to finish my acomaf reread and hopefully finish Dreams of Gods and Monsters!

[TR]

Hi everyone. Just joined so I guess I'm just in time for the readathon. I just finished 2 books though so I have no idea what I'm going to read yet. Oh well, plenty to choose from.

[sreeja]

OMG hi i just joined because i realised i suck and have read like only 1 book this year ;-;

[MaryGrace]

JoAnna wrote: "I hope to finish . Been stuck on it since the middle of December.... Its just so stale compared to the first two books... :/"

Oh thank God, I thought it was just me with this book and I thought I was slumping. I'm glad to know someone else found it slower to get into too

SREEJA hi little bean!! don’t worry about it, it’s only the start of 2018 after all :-) hope you’ll get some reading done with our help

[emily]

AHAHAH i choked @ little bean but thanks ;) hopefully i will read more because of peer pressure

[emily]

Ayyyy that's great :D

[JoAnna]

@MaryGrace. It is sooooo much less fun than the first two..... I think they should have stopped at book two. That would have been a good ending to me!

[Stacy]
