Enjoy whatever you end up reading! :D"

Thanks, Jacque. I hope you enjoy your reads, too! I'm starting in two hours, but it's later where you are. Sounds like you had a fun but tiring day! LOL Good for you!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

You're welcome, Vicki. Thanks! LOL. I am exhausted but it was lots of fun!

[Trinity]

I wish I could join in on midnight but sadly that is the time I am heading to bed. I have to go to the water park tomorrow at 9 am and will be there the entire day so I will be joining you all on the second day!

Have fun!

[Trinity]

Me too! I am counting down the minutes!

[Trinity]

Thanks, Sarah. :)

[Vicki]

Trinity, have a blast tomorrow! :)

[Jessica]

About 10 minutes until start time!! Who's ready to get started?

[Vicki]

I was ready till I dozed off. Lol I just wasted 25 minutes! Lol

I'm starting with Jodi Picoult's novella: Larger Than Life.

[Jessica]

Ooh I hope you enjoy that, Vicki! I love Jodi Picoult's writing.

I'm a little over 100 pages into Faking Normal and I'm loving it already!

[Vicki]

That's one of my favorite books. I'm glad you are loving it! Larger than Life was different, nothing like Picoult's books that I've ever read. It was very touching.

Almost half way done with Faking Normal. It's AMAZING so far! Definitely one of my favorites already. It's about 2:30 am here and I'm exhausted but I think I'll have to stay up and finish it.

Haha! I hear ya! Sometimes no matter how much I want to stay up and read (even if it's 3:00 in the afternoon), I can't stay awake if I'm too tired. It's 11:45 PM here and I'm getting ready to start

Ooh I hope you enjoy Glass!

It's 3:30 and I'm still doing alright. About a third of the book left. I hope I can make it!

[Mehsi]

Morning everyone! Good luck and have fun with the readathon! :)

[Charlotte]

I'm a little more than halfway through Fangirl. I'll finish it off tomorrow.

[Jessica]

Wow, I just finished my first book, Faking Normal, and I loved it so much. I was kind of surprised at how much I liked it, but I stayed up until 5 in the morning to finish and it was so so worth it.

[Jessica]

I'll be starting either Fangirl or Dear John when I wake up! Haven't decided which yet.

[Vicki]

YAY!! I just knew you'd love it, and I'm so glad you did!

[Irene]

I'm just about to start :P It's almost noon! :O But, I slept for a long time and made some crackers, but now I'm ready! I'll be continuing my current book which is :)

[Jessica]

Thanks, Vicki! I didn't know anything about the book going in except that I knew you and Jacque have talked about how much you love it the last couple of weeks and I was just blown away! It was not at all what I was excepting but it was a million times better than I'd even hoped!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Jessica, I knew you'd love it! YAY!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Looks like everyone is doing great! :D I just woke up and am going to go through my notifications in the group and then will start reading!

[Rachel]

I just finished by first book . I just had the last 109 pages left to read. I thought it was a great end to the So Close To You trilogy. I love this whole series. Now on to continuing . My goal is to get to page 300 by the end of today.

[Paulina]

Going to start now just finished That Boy and going to start with ! I hope I'll enjoy it That Boy was a disappointment

[Jessica]

I just woke up so I think I'll start Fangirl soon. Hopefully I'll read most, if not all of it, by the end of today.

[Vicki]

I'm halfway done with but need to eat and shower because I'm tired from staying up until nearly 3:00.

I thought you were reading ? Either way, how are you liking it so far?

[Irene]

I just finished my book , but it doesn't count since I started it yesterday. I just can't read two books at once. Anyway, now I'm on to Fingers crossed it'll be better than the SATC book, which I...well...didn't like! Big fan of the show though (SATC, that is! Never liked Carrie Diaries show).

[Mehsi]

Evening everyone. o/ How is everyone doing on this wonderful day? Everyone doing ok on the readathon? *cheers for people*

[Vicki]

Jessica, haha! Guess I AM tired!!! I AM reading GLASS! I read BURNED last week! I'm ALWAYS embarrassing myself on here!! Glad you all are so non-judgmental! Lol

[Vicki]

Btw Jessica, it's really good! This is the 3rd Ellen Hopkins book for me and they've all been good! And even though they're large books (GLASS is 681 pgs.), they are quick reads! At least quicker than other books not written in verse.

[Jessica]

Haha, I thought so! You confused me for a second. ;) I'm glad you're enjoying it though!

I'm 100 pages into Fangirl and I really like it so far. I really hope it's better than Eleanor and Park. I didn't like that one much.

[Vicki]

I hope it's a good read for you! I just finished GLASS (did I get it right this time? Lol) and now I'm kind of depressed! Lol So real to life for a meth addict and their loved ones. :( BUT still a great book and so beautifully written!

[Charlotte]

Ah I just woke up. Time to finish Fangirl. Jessica, I've never read Eleanor and Park. Why didn't you like it? Fangirl is pretty good so far though. I hope it ends well.

[Jessica]

That's awesome! I'm happy you liked it. Do you know what you're going to be reading next?

[Jessica]

Charlie, I thought the second half of Eleanor and Park was very boring and I really didn't like how open-ended it was. I felt like the story wasn't really complete. I think I've heard similar things about Fangirl, but I thought I'd try it out anyways. So far I like it a lot.

[Trinity]

Came back from the water park so I will go eat, take a nap and then join you all!!
