Finished Aristotle and Dante last night and was ok but not my favourite read so far during this readathon which has been hate list a five star read for me. I'm currently reading shine by Lauren myracle and interesting so far. :)
I finished 13 Reasons Why yesterday, and now on to Butter, which I'm hoping to finish tonight after work. I haven't been reading like crazy this week but I'm ok with my progress so far! :)

So glad you enjoyed it! It's an amazing book :)

I just finished Eleanor & Park and I have to say it was wonderful. I'm kind of a mess right now but I loved it. I've owned it for a year but I'd never read it, it was a great pick for this week!
I've nearly finished Everybody Sees the Ants, my next book will be Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

I'm starting Ants today! Really looking forward to it, I've heard great things. What did you think?

I just finished Wonder last night. I loved it, it was sweet and heartwarming. It made me smile instead of being sad. I thought that the bullying would be really bad but it wasn't and the bully wasn't really shown much. Besides the bullying It was more about friendship and acceptance. I also love that it was in different POV's of other characters who was going through things too. There was one POV that was weird. The author wrote it different and I know it was because of the character, all letters were in lowercase and I wonder why? I requested Julian Chapter from my library but its already out, I hope I can get it before the readathon is over. I really want to know his story. I might read Gracefully Grayson
I finished Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe last night! It was good, but I was a bit disappointed on the ending. I'm gonna be starting Jerk, California today.
Sarah, 4 lines of my message were missing so I'm here again. I really enjoy Everybody Sees the Ants, Lucky was very touching all along the book. Now, I'm reading Aristotle & Dante and I've just begun at lunch time so I'm not very far in the book. If I like both characters, I think I prefer Dante.

Yay, we read the same books! :) Last night I actually finished I'll Give You the Sun (and it was perfect!) and today I'm planning on reading Everybody sees the Ants :) Did you like it?
Finally, I'm going to be able to read Eleanor & Park this week-end. I thought I couldn't manage to read a fourth book but in two days it should be ok.
As I expected, I still haven't gotten through Burn for Burn. It's a good book and I'm enjoying it, but I've been too busy grading papers to do much reading....I wish this readathon had been next week because I'm off that whole week!
Well, I've read 3 out of 5 books planned for this week. I'm about half way through the 4th one so I'm gonna try to finish it tonight. I didn't get to reread any of the books I wanted though, but 4/5 is great so I feel satisfied.
I've read Eleanor & Park, it was my last book for the readathon and I really like it a lot. I was lucky with my books because I like all of them.
I started late so I didn't put much pressure on myself but I'm happy whit the books I read. I started and finished I'll Give You the Sun which blew my mind and it was so amazing! And then I started reading Everybody Sees the Ants and I read the most of it yesterday... Even though I didn't finish it last week I have maybe 50 pages left so I definitely finish it today!
My final books read for the readathon wereThe truth about Alice - 3 stars
Hate list - 5 stars
Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe - 3 stars
Shine - 4 stars
Please stop laughing at me - 2 stars
I had a great reading week but feel slightly emotionally drained today so moved on to a song of ice and fire book a feast for crows. :)
I finished Gracefully Grayson on saturday. The other book I read was Wonder. I love these books, gave them 5 stars.
I read Matilda for the antibullying week not realizing that it's next week, oh well. I'm currently reading Emerald Green I'm a quarterway through and really enjoying it. Thoughts?
Right now I am reading " The First Battle" By Erin Hunter and " Mara Daughter of the Nile" For school :)

I an going to be reading Tales From the Bully Box: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...And I guess from seeing it here several times, A Monster Calls qualifies, so I will be reading that because I already have it. :)
I finished my 1st book & i'm now reading Bridge to Terabithia & Thirteen Reasons Why(I always read more books at the same time :)! )
Mia wrote: "I'm starting with "Wonder"! I've heard so many great things about it that I'm supper excited!"I keep hearing about Wonder as well & it's on my TBR.
Hope you'll enjoy & i can't wait to read it as well!
I started finding Audrey in the middle of the night. I'm on page 50 and I'm enjoying it very much! I hope I can maybe finish it today. Tomorrow is my birthday so it's going to be difficult to get much reading done in the following days.
I'm reading A Manifest for The hopeless (Manifest för hopplösa) by Åsa Asptjärn & then I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson.
I'm reading geek girl and I'm on page 118 I like so far is easy to read and main girl is quite funny
I was reading Eleanor & Park but I didn't really liked it.. So I started reading Matilda (I'm really enjoying it) and decided to read the other book later!
I didn't see anywhere to post daily updates, so I hope it's okay that I post mine here. :)Anti Bulling Read A Thon Day #1:

I managed to read Wonder by R. J. Palacio, thank you to all of you who recommended it! Loved the story! (I made a quick #AntiBullyReads progress video in case anyone is interested http://youtu.be/Xk81MlEiSfY) I then picked up Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, on page 20 so far but I think I'm gonna call it a night :-) hopefully I can finish it tomorrow.
I'm re-reading Holes by Louis Sachar. I read it when I was about 14 and I'm excited to relive the story.
