The Eyre Affair IS as good book. I also read The Big Over Easy (Nursery Crime, #1) by Jasper Fforde some time ago, but I think The Eyre Affair is better. It has more interesting characters.

Ghost Rider | 3 comments So far I've read The World of Divergent The Path to Allegiant (Divergent, #2.5) by Veronica Roth .

I'm also planning to read Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1) by E.L. James .


message 71: by Anja (new)

Anja (agh93) | 16 comments O dear. I have to work extra this week. Reading a lot of pages will be hard. But as long as I enjoy the reading, I'm happy :)

Heather | 1262 comments @Hannah I really hope it gets there soon for you!


message 73: by Anna (new)

Anna I have finished Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss #2) by Stephanie Perkins today! I really loved it! It's just very adorable and fun :)

Now I'm going to start The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu


Adrianna [SypherLily] (sypherlily) | 276 comments @Anna Noooo you're breaking the orange theme!
I hope you enjoy it, I'm interested in The Young Elites (When I first saw it in the store I thought for the longest time it said "elfies" lol)

Haha, I know. I almost choose to read Vicious to stay in the orange theme, but I feel more like reading The Young Elites, so yeah ;D.
And it's good so far! :) (not that I'm very far in though XD)


Adrianna [SypherLily] (sypherlily) | 276 comments Oh my goodness, I hope you choose Vicious next because...just because. <3


message 78: by Anna (new)

Anna Well, I will for sure read Vicious this month! :)


message 79: by Jasmiina (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments Today I've been just reading Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth . I'll try to finish it before I'll go to bed so I'll get to start a new book in the morning.


message 80: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Wow! Lots of reading going on so far this week. At some point in time I need to get my butt in gear & update my log. I've no idea how much I've read so far. At this point in time it'll be a surprise on the weekend.

The Eyre Affair IS as good book. I..."


Ah good to know! I just finished Eyre Affair last night. I now want a Dodo lol


message 82: by Charisa (new)

Charisa | 19 comments Finished The Eyre Affair and going to start Seraphina (Seraphina, #1) by Rachel Hartman and Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White . I've decided to put Outlander on the back burner until the readathon is over so I have time to finish the books I picked out to read this week.


message 83: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth I'm still reading Psychic Storm by C.J. Ellisson ,which has 10 books so far I only disliked the first book .


message 84: by Jasmiina (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments Today I finished Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth and now I'm very slowly starting to read Kirjaston henget by Jacques Bonnet (Phantoms on the Bookshelves). I just haven't had much time to read today.


message 85: by Anja (new)

Anja (agh93) | 16 comments I started reading A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings, but when I got home from work, there was a package for me. And it was the boxset of the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson and I can't wait to read it.

The Mistborn trilogy is one of my favorites! I adore Brandon Sanderson. Hope you enjoy the series! :)


message 87: by [deleted user] (new)

Reading on my Nook Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs , The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand , and This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald . As a regular book I am reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac . Plus studying for finals next week!


message 88: by Anna (new)

Anna I have just finished The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu and oh boy, that book was dark.
I don't know yet what to read next. I was planning on reading Vicious by V. E. Schwab, but I think I need some contemporary, after the Young Elites..


message 89: by Jasmiina (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments I just finished Kirjaston henget, the only book which I'm planning to read in Finnish this week. Because I read it so fast I thought I could take a break and finish Fairest: In All the Land before I'll start a new book. The last book I had in mind is The October Country by Ray Bradbury .


message 90: by Jasmiina (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments Yesteday I read only 77 pages... I was too busy to read and in the evening too tired. Today I started reading The October Country by Ray Bradbury which is a short story collection from Ray Bradbury. If I manage to finish it by tomorrow I'll have completed my goal which was to read four books during this read-a-thon.


message 91: by Anna (new)

Anna This weekend is been really busy so far, I probably won't get much reading done :(


message 92: by Jasmiina (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments I haven't read much during this weekend... Yesterday I read 105 pages and I'm not sure how much I'll get to read during this last day. But at least I've read over 1000 pages during this read-a-thon!


message 93: by Anna (new)

Anna Yeah, well yesterday I've read like 20 pages, soo...
And I don't think I will get much reading done today either.
But same, I've read more than 1000 pages. I have finished 3 books and I'm happy with that :)


message 94: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I didn't get much done yesterday. Hoping to get quite a bit of reading in today. Of course, one of the books I'm reading has a magical page count. I can't seem to find it anywhere.


message 95: by Elizabeth (new)

Sounds like a good one Elizabeth


message 97: by Denise (new)

Denise (kitsune816) | 99 comments Elizabeth, I'm curious to see what you think of that one! I'm planning to read it later this month. :)

I need to remember to update my post later tonight when I can be on a computer instead of my phone. I don't think I put anything in there after my first few books haha.


message 98: by Anja (new)

Anja (agh93) | 16 comments Just under 1000 pages in total. I'm happy with it. I managed 995 pages while being busy with work and some studying.
Not bad, not bad at all.


message 99: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Hey everyone! Be sure to update your totals so that I can come up with our group total for the week. Look's like it, was a good one for everybody.


message 100: by Charisa (new)

Charisa | 19 comments Books read: 2
Pages: ? I forgot to keep count :/
Currently Reading: Seraphina and Outlander

My week was so busy, I'm surprised I even read two books all the way. Hopefully I won't have as much going for the next Read-A-Thon week.
