#8 Readathon: Let's Chat
I will just chat here and cheer for people. Since I won't have time for the 48 hour thing, since I got various things to do this weekend.
Sorry you can't join us, Mehsi! :( But you are a wonderful cheerleader! :D Thanks!
Yeah, a bit sad about it, but oh well, there is always next time, right? :) Aww, thanks Jacquelyn. You're welcome. :)
Yes, there will be readathons in the future! :) You;re welcome.
I'm always excited for the readathons! LOL
I just realized I have a feis (Irish dance competition) on Sunday, but it won't take all day and I can read in the car!
Glad to see you guys are excited. :)What are everyone's goals?
Hmm, maybe three books, I also have to do building watch at the fair on Saturday (I thought this weekend was going to be empty >:( lol) but it's 99% sitting there doing nothing, so that's another time to read!How about you?
Well good luck. You can do it! :DI am hoping for 3-4 books. :)
Good luck on your goals, everyone! I'm also hoping to read at least 3, hopefully 4 books.
Good luck, Jessica! :)
I'm not sure about my goals. I guess that'll depend on how much lesson planning and/or grading I'll have to do this weekend, BUT I'm hoping for 2-3 books. I'll only probably get four done if I do a really short prequel. We'll see, but I'll be happy with good reading time. :o)
That's the spirit! I am sure you will do great. :)
You're so supportive, Jacque. Thanks. :o)
No problem! :)
Reading Ellen Hopkins will help the # of books and pages read and I just picked up GLASS, so maybe I'll read that this weekend! :)

I loved that one too! <3
I want to read Ellen Hopkins books so much! I feel like the only person left on earth who hasn't read one yet! Hopefully I'll get one when I go shopping next week! Has anybody read Tilt?

Well, you girls should plan an Ellen Hopkins buddy read. Her writing is amazing!
I'm most likely going to pick up at least one of her books while I'm on vacation next week. Which do you recommend, Vicki? Or anybody else!
I haven't read Tilt.I have read
and one more but I forget which. They were all good! My favorite was the Burned/Smoke duology.
I'm curious towards her books as well, they seem interesting, yet not interesting enough for me to pick up. Hmm.

and
and I loved both but my favorite of the two is
I almost started a day early! I thought today was the 9th. :O Thank god I caught myself before I started though. :)

Who's excited?! Less than 4 hours until start!
I'm super excited! Will you be starting right at midnight, Jacquelyn?
Awesome!I would love to but I have been at an amusement park all day and have been riding rides all day! My mom has a Fitbit and says that we walked 7.5 miles today! I am exhausted! I most likely won't but I wish!
Are you?
Wow, that's great though! At least you had a fun day! I definitely will be! I was out at a concert really late last night (like 3 am) so of course I slept in pretty late! So I'm prepared to read for a couple of hours right at the start.
Yeah, I had a great time. :)Ooh! What concert? Glad to hear you are ready to start! :D
Oh! Cool. I personally don't like their music but I am glad you went and had fun! Hopefully? LOLWhat are you starting with?
This is one time I'm glad to be on the west coast because I get to start at 9:00! Not sure what I'm starting with but excited! :)
That is good! It is past 9 here already. Glad you're excited. I don't know what I will start with either.
I got a Jodi Picoult novella so I might start there, but then again I really want to read Slated! I've only had a chance to read 15 pages of Wanderland so now I wish I hadn't! Lol
LOL. I am only focusing on books I own for this readathon so no library books for me.Enjoy whatever you end up reading! :D
I have so many books available to read.I have a ton checked out from the library (most of them because of the book pool), some Netgalley books, some ebooks I'm borrowing, and a few others that I have to read this month!
So, yeah, a lot of options.
Fun, fun! Any particular ones that you're thinking of possibly starting with?
I'm thinking of starting with Faking Normal! It's not super long so I hope I can get it done in just a few hours.
Oh, I finished that in a day so I think it would be great to start with. :) Enjoy! I MAY start with
Ooh, I'd never heard of Bystander but I read the synopsis and it sounds really good!
