July Jumpstart Readathon
I'm aiming to finish 3 books.
Unlike the last readathon where I literally worked the entire time, this one I'll only be working one day!! Don't know what I'm aiming for yet, but I'm sure I'll get a ton read!
I'm sure you will as well! You read so fast!
Count me in! I haven't a clue what I'll be reading, but I'm definitely going to be taking part!
That's great to hear, Hollie! Whatever your goals turn out to be, I hope you reach them!
I am not sure if I will get anything done this week. But I think I will aim for 2 books.
I'm in, not sure what I'll be doing/reading but I'll say 4 books to read/finish and then just add what I finish as I go since I can never stick to set books.
I understand that completely. Good luck, Olivia (:
Zakiya, I think Starcrossed is REALLY good! Let me know what you think when you finish it!
I'm going to hopefully finish the last 114 pages of
. And then I will read
for the challenge of choosing a book or author's name beginning with a J. And then if I'm lucky enough to finish that, I will move on to reading
. Hope everyone has fun and meets their goals!

Glad that I finally finished a book! :) Hoping to finish two more this week.
It was really good actually! After reading Revolution I didn't expect it to be as good, but it was pretty close!
Awesome! I'll have to try to find it so I can read it.
I realized today that I didn't really want to finish The Shapeshifters anymore, so I'm not going to. Going to try to read some more of Fallen today :)Total of 357 pages read
Wasn't that shapeshifters book like a thousand pages?
Almost, 968. I've read it before, and it's really good, it's just that the story I was on wasn't grabbing my attention that much. I decided to go back and finish reading it later.
