Finally finished Emma by Jane Austen !!!!! definitely one of the best books I've read :). Now I'm going to focus on Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (at 64%) a little bit more before I start Pretties (Uglies, #2) by Scott Westerfeld .

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Wow! I've forgotten to time myself. Maybe I'll just count pages. O_o


message 57: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Yeah, pages is more of a challenge to me. My goal of 2K pages is determined not to be met. I kind of want to count my two Kindle books as pages, not percents, just so I can reach it. I only need like 300 more pages!


message 58: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Take te kindle out of the mix. See how many pages are listed for the book otherwise and use that. It's the same book. The pages and words should all be the same.


message 59: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 315 comments that's what i do...lol! i don't even pay attention to the locations/percentages any more


message 60: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments The percent thing is the one thing I dislike about kindle. Who cares that I'm at 27%. What page am I on?


message 61: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I know!!! Gosh it makes me so mad. I've just always done it that way, so my brain yells at the other half of itself when I think of it lol. I think I'll go change that right now.


message 62: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Hope it's easier!


message 63: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That fixes everything! Now the page total would come to 2109 :).


message 64: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments If you keep on pace for all those books.


message 65: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 315 comments see, not knowing page count doesn't bug me, i never paid attention to them...i would read to the end of a chapter and that worked fine for me


message 66: by Zakiya (last edited Dec 23, 2011 04:57PM) (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) yeah page counts aren't necessary for me either, but I like keeping up with the pages I read, mostly because it coincides with the number of books I read.

MS- IKR? I'm skeptical that I will get all 9 done. Hoping I get at least 5 done.


message 67: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments You'll get them done! Your off of school. Should be able to get them in. No prob. ;) *cheers*

message 84: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) LOL!!! Thanks, Meghan! I think what's giving me all this reading time is the extra week I got out of school this month. Not having to take any exams is amazing :D

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments Yeah...I like to play COD sometimes and then I also like to watch movies so sometimes that take some of my reading time. Plus I am really into One Tree Hill right now, so that is also taking a lot of time.

I think I just need a Sugar Daddy who is willing to clean the house and outside. I don't mind making dinner and laundry. Only because laundry I can do other things between each load :)

I was just wondering, are the readathons that you do part of another group? Or do you just like to do them on your own?


message 96: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) 2 years ago, I would do them on my own, at random times. Now, though, I found 2 groups that do them, and I participate in those. One group does one every month; the other every 2 months. I barely do them by myself anymore.

That's cool! I did the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon back in October for the first time, and I really enjoyed it, so I was just wondering about your readathons. =) Thanks for answering!


message 98: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments We were talking about maybe trying out a readathon for this group. To see if others were interested.
