Reading with Zakiya!
A readathon! When should we do said readathon?
I like readathons as well but when they come around I for some reason want to do everything but read...
I bet. It must feel sort of like homework or a job if you have to sit and feel like you have to do it or get in trouble.
Personally, if the readathons aren't too long, I think they help me out alot. If they go on forever though, I'll probably just end up not reading at all.
Nahh, only one week long. You set your own goals, whether it be pages, books, hours. Whatever. You can set them according to what you want to work on, or what's easiest for you.

;) 77 hours! Wow! It just sounds like a lot.
Well, I can vouch for that! It def took some concentration not o get distracted all the time like I usually do.
9/1/2012 - 11/1/2012 Update:I have been trying to finish
, but I never really have any time between school and dance. Started listening to
but since I don't have a lot of time for my iPod [ =( ] I'm going to alternately read it on my Kindle and listen to it when I have time.Also started
for english. She scheduled the book so that we finish the first week of February, but I'm going to try to get ahead and finish it by the last week of January. Wish me luck! :D

You should definitely start Revolution! Amazing!
Yeah, I'm thinking that's the one that I will start. But it will probably start tomorrow.
Revolution. It's a good book. And it has me thinking of OAR, good music ;)
Read The Power of Six when you have alot of time, it's got lots of action and it's totally addicting!
Aaahhh!!! I LOVE action! Dang boyfriend changed me from loving a good chick flick to loving action movies. Granted I still love a good chick flick, but I also love when there is a lot of action going on in my books.
LOL! Nothing wrong with that, Meghan :)Aneeqah, I'll keep that in mind!
Mad Scientist, I've only heard one of their songs :( , and that was a couple of years ago. I need to catch up!

My favorite movies are all action! The Bourne Identity! *sigh* It's so good and international! *double sigh* & Matt Damon! The book is pretty darn tootin good too! Need to ReRead!
OAR: Of A Revolution - Crazy Game of Pokerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XyQ8X...
The only BIG concert I've been too on American soil... in Charleston SC and it was crazy if not crazier then this one. It was nearly rained out but we, as in everyone, refused to leave! LOL!
I like this song! There are dozens of artists and bands I've just stopped keeping track of. It's kind of sad, really; I used to be so addicted to their songs, and now I don't even know what the names of their songs are!
14/1/2012 Update:I don't think I even read anything....I started reading
, but it was after 2 AM by then. So I guess that doesn't really count, huh? :)
:) That's a good and a bad thing. Good because I like school, esp my high school. Bad because I have so much english & algebra homework I don't get to read. Grrr
It's good that u like HS. Education is important. Books will fall in line and they aren't going anywhere. So don't stress I'd u can't get read what u want.
Eh. True. Right now I should be reading Great Expectations and journaling. What am I doing? On GRs and reading Clockwork Prince :)

Yep. I;m working on it right now actually. Trying to get some of these reviews straightened out.

And yepp, I've just got to get the details figured out and such. But I've already saved the dates. I'm hoping to do the 18-24 of February, so save the dates! I'd do it sooner, but school is going to kill me (kidding).
