Jonel Feel free to use this thread to chat about what you're reading during the read-a-thon and how it's going for you! Also, lets share our tips & tricks for making this a successful read-a-thon.

Catriona (catrionagregory) Ah, I'm so glad this one is 12am wherever, because the clocks change half way through the week I think!

Yes, I'm sure we'll find it easier this way. :D


message 4: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Just 3 days away! :D Has anyone started thinking on the books they plan on beginning with?


message 5: by Lilac (new)

Lilac  (lilac_wales) And so it starts! I'm going to be reading the 1000+ page book Edge of Eternity and I'm going to be pushed into finishing it both by the readathon and because it's due back in the library on Friday! Hopefully it can be done


message 6: by Catriona (new)

Catriona (catrionagregory) I'm starting with Heir of Fire, I originally started at the start of September but was distracted because of school. Now I'm re-reading the start and I don't really know why I managed to stop


message 7: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I just finished Seducing the Dragon: Part One & am headed on to Just in Time for Christmas after I post a few reviews. Joys of having stayed up most of the night. :S

Good luck Lilac! & don't you hate it when that happens Catriona?


message 8: by Catriona (new)

Catriona (catrionagregory) Yes, it's so annoying! Thankfully, this week we're off school, so this is probably the most well placed read-a-thon for me.


message 9: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Looks like some awesome reads Kathryn


message 10: by Trinity (new)

Trinity I am going to start with Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3) by Stephanie Perkins and then go onto Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

I'm reading We Were Liars as well, how are you liking it? Plus has anyone here read Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs I'm currently reading it and it is so bizarre and normally I don't mind bizarre, but this is just way to confusing for me!


message 12: by Jonel (new)

Jonel How's everyone's week going? Looks like we all have some great books on the go.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Finished Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs talk about a weird book!


message 14: by Jonel (new)

Jonel At least you stuck it out. That's got to say something.

Have you read it Kevin? To me the book seemed to be about drugs and sex minus the rock and roll! LOL! Other then that the storyline was way too confusing.


message 18: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Cole (kevin_cole) I read this when I was a teenager. It's not a book in the classic sense. There's no real plot. It's mostly a collection of hallucinations. Fortunately, some of them are pretty funny and not all nightmarish :-)


message 19: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Ah, this the weekend. Time to get back to the read-a-thon full force.

Don't forget to update your totals in the reading log tomorrow night or Monday. I'll be updating group totals Monday night.


message 20: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) This has been a really good weekend for me! Working on my third since yesterday!


message 21: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I'll be updating totals tonight. Be sure to get your books in!
