21/12/2011 Update:Read a lot (or tried to) in
. Hopefully I'll get a lot more done today!
22/12/2011 Update:Finally finished
!!!!! definitely one of the best books I've read :). Now I'm going to focus on
(at 64%) a little bit more before I start
.
23/12/2011 Update:Got to 77% in
, it's getting to be sooo good!!! started
as well, on page 59.Readathon:
~A special 2-week readathon started today!!! Aiming for 7-9 books, 2 000 pages, and 50 hours.
Books: 0, Pages: (will count this @ the end), Hours: 6 hr, 56 min.
Wow! I've forgotten to time myself. Maybe I'll just count pages. O_o
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!
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.
that's what i do...lol! i don't even pay attention to the locations/percentages any more
The percent thing is the one thing I dislike about kindle. Who cares that I'm at 27%. What page am I on?
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.
That fixes everything! Now the page total would come to 2109 :).
If you keep on pace for all those books.
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
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.
You'll get them done! Your off of school. Should be able to get them in. No prob. ;) *cheers*
I hope so! I'm out of school, but we're still working on my room. Thankfully we're almost done! I get to sleep in my bed tonight instead of on the couch :) woohoo!

Way to go Z! If I had a week off with nothing to do but read I would probably still end up doing other things! HAha
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

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 :)
Lol! I think we all need one of those.

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.

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!
We were talking about maybe trying out a readathon for this group. To see if others were interested.
