Good luck! Me too!

Yes. If you start a book before the readathon and finish during it you can count the pages you read towards your final page count but you can't claim any points. If you start AND finish it during the readathon you can count all pages and claim points.

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Okay, so I have finished The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith Thanks Mandiann, it was a fast read!

I need another book to read tomorrow now though! I have no plans tomorrow so if I don't have a book I won't have anything to do! LOL

Jacque, you just bought a bunch of new books. LOL


message 165: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Hmmm well which books are you debating starting? I have a the opposite problem. Too many on the go and not enough time to read. Too many distractions.


message 166: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments LOL! Vicki, I am looking for a short book. I would read the books I bought but they are too long for me to read them in a day. haha!

Well I actually think I am going to start  Safekeeping by Karen Hesse It sounds super good and there are lots of photographs that will quicken up the pace!

I hope you get them all done! Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

I knew it was something like that. Just giving you a hard time. LOL Just like we girls who "never have a thing to wear," we readers "never have a book to read for that SPECIAL occasion!" LOL


message 169: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments LOL! Exactly! ;)

That's the link to where you will claim your points throughout the week.


message 171: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments So excited! Less than a day to go! :)

I need to finish up  Safekeeping by Karen Hesse today! I have 231 pages left!


message 172: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Good luck Jacquelyn. :)


message 173: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks! (: Do you have any ideas on what you are going to read first during the readathon?


message 174: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi You're welcome. And yep, I want to read this: Eva's Story A Survivor's Tale by the Step-Sister of Anne Frank by Eva Schloss before I head to the library tomorrow. That way I can get some more new books, stupid 6 books max limit. :(


message 175: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Ooh! That seems like it would be an interesting book! I couldn't imagine a limit on the books! I wish I could put you in with our no limit, lol!

I hope you like the book! I am not sure what I am starting the readathon off with yet. I will decide that later tonight.


message 176: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Indeed, and I find WOII books very interesting to read, so I can't wait to start it.
I couldn't imagine it either. :( Just 2 years ago their biggest subscription was like 60 books every time. Now the biggest subscription there is 6 books max, and the bad thing other than the book limit? That they kept the price the same.
I would love that, if that was possible. Sometimes I wish I lived in the US. Just for the books, the libraries and some other things. :)

Thanks, I hope so too, like I said, it seems like an interesting book. I am not sure if I am around then (since your tonight means I am probably sleeping), but I will see it tomorrow then. :)


message 177: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Hope you enjoy!

That really stinks!

Yeah, most likely, when I pick, you will be asleep! (: I am super excited! :D

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments Do everyone needs to do that Scavenger hunt? *I don't like that* :/


message 179: by Trinity (new)

Trinity You don't have to if you don't want to. :)


message 180: by Miodrag ★❥ (last edited Mar 23, 2014 08:38AM) (new)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments oh, ok :) that's good (Thanks for fast answer :P)

I still have a hard time to decide which book will I read tomorrow, first one. From 14 really good books and those that I really want to read... uhh but I think it will be one of those:
Switched (Trylle, #1) by Amanda Hocking Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare


message 181: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments 1 book down, 2 to finish up before that readthon starts. I will probably only get 1 done and have to pause the other for a week.

I will start the readthon with my team challenge book, probably Collide (Collide, #1) by Shelly Crane .


message 182: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1726 comments Today I'm hoping to finish up Tsarina by J. Nelle Patrick , and I'm still thinking about what I'll start with :/


message 183: by Miodrag ★❥ (new)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments ok, I just need to check this one more time (I need to be sure):
Because I will read all my books on tablet, that means when I finish my book, I go to amazon, check kindle edition and see how many pages that book have, right?

Like this:
Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini
Pages: 501 (5 points)
1st in series: (3 points)
total: 8 points

is this ok? ;)


message 184: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Looks good to me, Miodrag.


message 185: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Exactly. :)


message 186: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments That's exactly what you would do Mio! :)

Good luck everyone with your books!

I really hope I can finish my book today but if not, I will finish it next week, like Mandiann may do.


message 187: by Miodrag ★❥ (new)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments ok, now I just need to wait tomorrow morning and... Let the 5th read-a-thon BEGIN! Good luck everyone and Happy reading! It will be one really good week, with lots of books and just books. :D <3

Yes, it really will be an awesome week! This is one of my favorite things that happen in our group! (:

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I almost forgot I have to charge my Kindle! I have been reading lots of physical books lately so my Kindle has been dead for a while! Putting it in the charger now!! (:


message 190: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Yes, I will be charging mine soon and updating it with all of my new ebooks. Thanks for the reminder!!

Can't wait to start!!!!


message 191: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm on the same page as you Jacque. I won't be reading half books, except if I don't finish Harry Potter today because I have to return it Wednesday.


message 192: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Harry Potter #1?


message 193: by Amanda (new)

Amanda | 4527 comments I have to charge my kindle today too, the battery is dead right now.


message 194: by Chantae (new)

Chantae B. | 114 comments but I can get points for the pages just not the book, right.
(sorry for asking so many questions)

Not if you started before the readathon. You can only get points for the pages and book if you started and finished during the marathon.
