Starts for me at 9 AM on Saturday :-) a good time to start, I definitely will not be reading at 3 AM! Good luck to all! Is there a prize if we win?
It starts at noon for me so I plan to spend the morning reading the book I'm currently reading.
Start time for me is 11 am. Lots of good reading time for me this toppler. Got my queue of books lined up : )I think I'm a faster reader in general since becoming a member of YLTO. Anybody else experience this?
But I like having the flexibility of varying my reading pace. Beginnings typically go more slowly while getting acquainted with the book.
Anyone know what time it starts in the UK? I've been getting confused because I thought it started on Monday, but I'm thinking it starts on Saturday now.
5 pm Saturday, Gail, is your start time in UK - I believe. 5 pm in UK is equivalent to noon in NYC. Basing this on looking up that it's currently 9:30 pm in New York City (EST in US). It's 2:30 am in UK so that's 5 hours later.
The toppler start times have remained constant in my experience thus far for past two years. That makes your start time same as last time for you and everyone - as long as they haven't moved to a different time zone.
Haha, I did go to sleep.I get the feeling Azalea might not turn up. She only posted once saying she had no idea what a Toppler was but wanted to join, and hasn't posted since.
Yes, probably she got lost. There's other group waiting for a member to appear I think.
Yes it starts today at 5pm in the UK Gail.
Yayyie!! It will start at 10:30 pm in India..so excited!
Will you stay up late, so you can start reading, Paakhi? Or will you just start on sunday?Yes, Gail, you can start 5 pm, I can start 6 pm (just 1 hour of North Sea between us ;)...). Yes, a whole evening of sitting on the couch with (hopefully) a good book!
Too bad I can't put the kids to bed at 5 pm! :D
Change the clocks Elsbeth. They won't know ;)

Hey I will stay up til late today.. Till about 2 A.M. That's the usual time I sleep
Rusalka wrote: "Change the clocks Elsbeth. They won't know ;)"I'm afraid they will know! They usually go to sleep around 8 pm - at 5 it is not dark yet. Maybe I'll just say to my husband: 'your turn to put the kids to bed this week!'.
;)
You all are ahead of me timewise, I believe. Your kids go to sleep at 8 PM, must be nice. My kids go to sleep much later, but they are too old for me to have to put them to bed :-) starting today at nine a M ;-)I just go in my room and pretend no one else is here!
Oh Elsbeth, if your husband is like mine that only means they'll go to bed at 10pm!
Sandra wrote: "Oh Elsbeth, if your husband is like mine that only means they'll go to bed at 10pm!"Probably :D! Or maybe not - he usually wants to do things at his computer at night - and in the daytime there sometimes is a kid playing games there...
Oh, Sandra, I only now noticed your picture! So beautiful and cute! I used to have a stuffed doll like that!

Happy Toppler everyone, I am also gonna start my first book right now. Starting with Maze Runner
I have started reading
which is for: 'Read a Tearjerker book'
Yes!!! Away from the computer and let the reads begin!!Happy reading everyone!
Just begun Ready Player One. Hope to finish it before dinner time. Don't have to cook since dS decided to cook for us tonight. Nice!
Oh, great, I started my book for the bonus task (Worse than Senseless Things for 'alien world or space ship') and I didn't like it! So I stopped reading right away and started something else (Brides for Brothers by Debbie Macomber which is only 187 pages). Now I only have to see for which task it can be used.So if there is someone else with a book about 'a alien world or aboard a spaceship' - you are welcome to the task. If not, I'll find something else (I have more books lined up which could be read for this - so don't worry!)
I'm reading Scarlet, part of it takes place in an alien world, I believe. Almost done with my first book The Giver, hoping to finish it before my son's birthday party tonight:-) And good luck to all!
Congratulations, Berit! How old is he? Have fun tonight!
He is 12, I also have an 18-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter. So, he is my baby :-)
I guess he always will be ;). That is a bit how I see my daughter (she's almost 6 and my son is almost 9 - both have their birthday in March).
Those are fun ages, although I think I've enjoyed every age in some way or another. It is very fun seeing your children become little adults.
Yes it is! But sometimes I wish I wouldn't go so fast! Time flies when you're having fun...
I completely agree :-) my oldest is going off to college next year, but he is definitely ready to be on his own. He is one of those who thinks he knows everything and has it all figured out, can't wait for him to come to me and say I was right :-) ;-)
I finished The Giver, will report it in the other thread. Off to the birthday party, plan on starting another book tonight. Hope all of you are doing well and having a good time!
Just started reading How I Live Now. It's going to be a challenge to get through I think, even if it's a good book because there are no quotations used, and I really hate that.
Sorry that I am late checking in, but I have been reading Esperanza Rising and Nemesis this afternoon. I just went straight to my books when I came in from the tea and forgot to sign in. sorry! But I have been reading!
Starting book 2, Notorious 19, a Stephanie Plum book. I can blow through these books really quickly, if you have not read these yet they are really a very fun read.The characters are a hoot :-)
Good night or shall I say good morning! I'm halfway through book to catch up with you in the morning or shall I say afternoon.i'm enjoying my first Toppler!
I have finished Esperanza Rising and Nemesis by Agatha Christie.I think I'll go to bed and start The Fifth Woman.
I've been reading Still Life, but won't finish it until tomorrow. I had to go to the symphony tonight. We have season tickets. I thought about pretending I had a sinus headache, but it just seemed wrong. Consciences certainly are pesky things ; )

I can add another book. I can take Mickey and Minnie Mouse: Read a book where an animal is a main character.I'll read We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves.
Connie, how do you read so fast? Is there a trick to it? I'd love to read that fast.
