Ooh, let me know how you enjoy Incarceron! I liked it, but some people thought it was very confusing, especially at the beginning.
Two kids at my school have said that it's really good, so I'm looking forward to it!

Oh really?? I didn't know that! Neat! And I'm reading it for school, but it's actually a really good book! :)
Readathon Updates:~I had one start Friday (that I completely forgot about). I'm just going to count the books I finish for this one. None yet. I'll post a summary after it's finished.
~As for the personal readathon that ended Saturday, I finished 3 books, one of them being a prequel to a series and an audiobook.
2/2/2012 - 4/2/2012 Update:Have been reading
, OFFICIALLY started
; have to have it turned back in to the library by Wednesday... Wish me luck!
5/2/2012 - 6/2/2012 Update:Read more in
, haven't even looked at
.... I'll get to that right now :)
7/2/2012 - 9/2/2012 Update:Gosh...Has anyone else noticed how all my posts now are of combined dates? Not reading as much as I'd hoped. I'm going to have a LOT of catch-up reading to do to make up for February...Hopefully I'll finish Great Expectations sometime next week, and Incarceron before the weekend is out? Don't know. Mom has lots of chores lined up for me.
Basically, though, I've only been reading
, and barely even that.
10/2/2012 - 11/2/2012 Update:Didn't read anything, but I started getting my books ready for the Readathon! :D

I'm going through a reading slump right now too... I'm still trying to sort through boxes and get them unpacked, and then I have other projects lined up to do after that, so my reading is suffering unfortunately. :(
Nice to know I'm not the only one, but I hope you're able to continue reading sooner than later!

I actually was on a roll last week. I finished 3 books 3 days in a row. Then I got back to work and had to do some sucky shifts with a lot of stress. So as of the last 4-5 days I have been in a bit of a slump. I have only read about 50 pages which I would usually read at least that in a day. I want to finish at least 2 books this week if not more. But I need to clean out my DVR at home too so I will need one day dedicated to that.
Thanks, Melissa :)Meghan, busy bees flock together :). I had one of those moments at the end of January. I finished 4 books within 4 days, and felt like February could be even better. Then my English teacher started assigning even more homework and gave us less days to finish chapters in Great Expectations. Not to mention my mom always giving me chores and things at home, plus dance. Sigh.
12/2/2012 - 14/2/2012 Update:Have been, as usual, reading Graet Expectations. We're almost done with the book, though! The final test is next Tuesday. Can't wait until I can give this darned book back to her! :D
15/2/2012 - 18/2/2012 Update:These last few days I've just been reading a few chapters in
every night, and I'm glad to say that I'm almost finished with it!!!! I only have 7 chapters left to read :DRead a little in
today as well (18/2), and started listening to
.
19/2/2012 - 20/2/2012 Update:Finished
finally!!! :DRead a bunch in
! Should finish it either tomorrow night or Thursday.
Thanks, Meghan! I know I won't reach 12 books this month, but I think I can possibly finish 5 or 6 if I really put my mind to it!
21/2/2012 - 22/2/2012 Update:Have been reading
like crazy! It's super good!!!Started
for English. I'll be ahead of them on this one; I can just feel it :).
23/2/2012 Update:Reading the same books as yesterday. I'll probably be done with
tomorrow, if not early Saturday morning. I can read close to 70 pages in it straight through. I think I'll be fine :)
On page 230/442.
is, obviously, getting even better! I think I will just keep reading 2-3 chapters every night, even if I do finish the assignment she's given us. I'm determined not to get behind on this book!
On page 57/281.
24/2/2012 - 29/2/2012 Update:I haven't really done a lot of reading these past few days. I got a lot farther in
and finished chapter 8 in
.I'm hoping that I'll start rereading
before this week is over with, but it just depends on how much freetime I have.
1/3/2012 - 4/3/2012 Update:Read a little bit in
, read even less in
