Michelle | 2 comments Been going all out this month with the readathons, so I decided to do a 24-hour readathon for myself on Monday.

I read Gone Girl until 3AM, then woke up at 9AM to continue reading. Finished Gone Girl while eating breakfast. Started Tess of the Road while exercising, eating lunch, then playing video games and studying. Stopped because I was zoning out, read a little bit of The Little Prince, then went to the grocery store & dinner. Stopping early/until later tonight because my head & eyes hurt lol

— Day 1 — (in progress)
started:
Tess of the Road (Tess of the Road, #1) by Rachel Hartman (audio) Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
finished:
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (audio)
total pages: 589

NomNom (mindofshadows) | 8 comments Day 1:
I cheated a bit as I started a day or two early but I've managed to start and finish Een Vlucht Regenwulpen by Maarten 't Hart and I continued with The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Day 2:
Did not read as much today but I managed to listen to the first three chapters of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling audiobook that is read by Stephen Fry.

Susy (susysstories) I believe you’re right Inge, covers can only be added in the desktop version.

NoRa I’ve been listening to The Secret Garden. It alright.

I listen to audiobooks while playing videogames too :)

A well, luckily I use both ;) So I will add the covers using the desktop ;)


message 10: by NoRa (new)

NoRa I started Astonishing Splashes of Colour (Man Booker shortlist). After that I want to read The Astonishing Color of After (hyped up by booktube). Not only are they similarly titled, they seem to deal with the loss of a mother... I want to read both books and see how I feel about them.

Vivian Wolkoff | 27 comments I'll lump Monday and Tuesday together because I have no idea what I read each day.
I read the last 30% of Mythos The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry and listened to 30% of Nemesis Games (The Expanse, #5) by James S.A. Corey - I'm now halfway done with Nemesis.
Yesterday, I started the paperback of O Futuro de Nós Dois by Jay Asher . I read up at page 106 (which is 29% of the book, according to Goodreads).
I had thought I wasn't reading much, but I've been doing better than I thought now that I'm adding all the pages up. I hope to keep up my reading even though Stranger Things premieres today!
