#10 Readathon: Let's Chat!

[Mehsi]

Have fun Kathryn! Hope you enjoy the book.

[Jessica]

I just got home from work so I'll be finishing up Nights in Rodanthe soon. Then I'll probably pick up either Dreamland or The Outsiders. What do you guys suggest?

[Jessica]

Also, Jacque! Any idea when we'll have another readathon? I'm bummed that I didn't get to participate as much as I'd hoped today!

[Mandiann]

Tough choice. Dreamland is lighter but Outsiders is shorter if you are trying to finish it tonight to collect points.

[Jessica]

Hmm. I think I'll go for The Outsiders first and then try to fit in Dreamland later! Thanks Mandiann. Have you read both before?

[Mandiann]

Yes, they are both very different and I liked each for different reasons.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I haven't been chatting on here at all! I actually stayed away from the computer all day (except when putting my points in)! I was really dedicated to reading today!

I read all 8 books that I planned out! (1,553 pages total. They weren't very big books) Right now, I need a break from reading! I doubt I'll even pick up a book tomorrow. I need to check my email, which is currently at 143 UNREAD. I also need to review some books!

Anyway, I'm really excited for the next one!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

YAy! Congrats Jessica!!! :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Congrats everyone! You all did better than my 4 pages of reading! It turned out that yesterday was MUCH busier than I was expecting.

Jessica, I don't have any specific dates in mind but it will probably be a week long (?) but I am not sure when.

[Mehsi]

Congrats to everyone. :)

[Vicki]

I also prefer the week long ones, but I still read more yesterday than I probably would have without the readathon. It was fun.

How the heck did people get so many points???!!! I barely made it through one comic and half of a longer book! :P

My day was much busier than expected too lol.

I wanted to be reading the 24 hrs as a challenge, but then I didn't want to give up lunch and dinner with my family, and ended up asleep 2 hours before the readathon ended jajaja I was so angry when I woke up

[Vicki]

Nicole, I only slept three hours or so, and my eyeballs are sore. LOL But my husband fed me (cooked) our meals so I literally read most of the day; however, I did have many interruptions. What I don't get is how people read 1000's of pages of books! THOUSANDS!

[Jessica]

I know, Vicki! I just added up the amount of pages I read yesterday and it was just under 500. I'm pretty happy with that considering I slept a lot and had to work.

Even reading for 24 hours straight (and I'm a fast reader!) ... there is NO WAY I could read thousands! I didn't even realize the day of the readathon had arrived til halfway through the day though too.
