Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) The first day and daylong went really well! I finished Sailor Moon Vol 4 and hope to read some more in The Power of Six before I fall asleep.

How was everyone's first day?

Good! Finished The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Gonna start something new in a few minutes lol Don't know what yet. =)


message 9: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Awesome! Was it good? I've heard that it's definitely worth picking up, but haven't yet.

I'm halfway done with Power of Six after the 3rd day. A few pages into Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, which isn't on the list above *guilty look*.

It was definitely interesting. I loved the story (it was super fast paced), but there were some elements that I didn't care for (instalove, blah). But I'm gonna pick up the 2nd when it comes out!

I so need to pick up Lorein Legacies soon! I've been meaning to for over a year lol


message 11: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That's good to know! I don't really like instalove either; I need the "I hate you so much" or even just "You're invisible to me" before we get that far.

Yeah, I LLOVEEEE this series! It's definitely worth reading. I didn't think the second book could get much better than the first, but it seriously did. Don't want to put it down. I bought the third novel (The Rise of Nine) as soon as it came out lol.

Vera (verareads) | 123 comments Okay, I've been busy this week, and just realized it was the readathan week. But I'll try and catch up tomorrow.
I have several books I'm working on so maybe can get lots of reading done then.


message 13: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ace_librarian) So I just finished my 4th book for the week with one more day of reading to go! And I know that I will finish A Tale Dark & Grimm (A Tale Dark & Grimm, #1) by Adam Gidwitz today, as well as finish my audiobook on my commute to/from work. So here's to a book-filled last day of the readathon!


message 14: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Great reading, Jennifer!

I just finished my second book, The Power of Six. Not sure if I'll have time to work on finishing Flatland today. I doubt it, though, because I have tons of stuff to do. But it was a productive week, that's for sure! :)
