I'm glad you are having fun and enjoying yourself! Are you tracking the pages you read each day? I'm kind of curious. ;)

Yes I am tracking them, mostly for myself though. I might post a total when the week is over and everything is read and done.
For today though I read about 876 pages. Which is quite a lot!

Lucky! For our tests, we can't bring ANYTHING (and they give us way too much time, lol). Fortunately, this is my last year taking them (woot woot!) :D I also have a half day on Friday, but then I have to go to school from like 5-8 for orchestra assessment :/ It's going to be interesting, especially the sight reading (my section, the third violins [duh] SUCK at sight reading) :)

Mehsi Thanks! Can't wait for tomorrow and see what I will get then. Sooo excited.


message 406: by Suzy (new)

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments Does anyone have any trick for pages read when you're listening to audio books? At this point my plan is to take the percent of the book I'm done and apply it to the total pages in the book and say that's how many pages I've read in a day.

This is my first readathon and I love it. Already almost done my first book :)


message 407: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Anyway, I would love to stay, but it is late and I am super tired after a busy, but fun day.

See you all tomorrow. :)

Oh, that stinks! They encourage us to bring a book to read after the test. I have early dismissals Wed-Fri!

If I did, I would share them with you but sadly I don't!

Glad you are enjoying the readathon so far! They are lots of fun!

It is amazing. You will love it this summer when I am working and you are reading. Going to pick up my new puppy so I am being hugely distracted from reading.

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments David wrote: "I have 110 pages left of Cinder, I am loving it!"

I read cinder in a day, I couldn't put it down. Scarlet and Cress and just as good if not better!

Just finished Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins . Good book, very sweet and give some good insight on how we tend to get wrapped up in ourselves, but of course it has the cookie cutter 'and they fell in love' ending. still I greatly enjoyed it


message 428: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello Everyone! Day one is almost over. I wish I could have gotten more in, I was able to finish one book! That is good. I have course work to work one for a few hours before I can jump back into reading. Might stay up late to read.

Sounds like a plan! I read 123 pages of one book and am starting a new one now. Pretty proud of myself because I didn't have much reading time today. :(

Trisha | 30284 comments yay! congrats on all your reading! it might not feel like alot but getting through one book is still amazing!!

:D Go Lindsey!!! ;D


message 432: by [deleted user] (new)

It looks like we all are doing pretty good! With busy days nights are great for reading. I wish I had more time during the day but at my internship I'm busy with preschool kids from 7:30AM to 2PM.


message 433: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Wow! That is a busy day! :) But you are doing great!


message 434: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I worked a full day with about 140 students teaching MLA citation. Lol Then I went home for about an hour and a half. Then I headed to my daughter's to babysit 4 kids until about 10:00 and will finally be home about 10:30 IF I don't take time to talk to my daughter. Lol

I'm not complaining though. I at least got Flat Out Matt read and I'm going to read whatever pages I can of Something Like Normal.

Nothing is more important than family, BUT...lol


message 435: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments LOL! You are doing great, Vicki! Considering how busy you were today! (:

I HATE MLA! I have to write all my papers in APA and I don't know which is worse. I just don't like them.

How was Flat Out Matt? I want to read it!

I'm not sure if you would call it a standalone or like an extra (.5, 1.5) type thing. I would probably wait for Gisbelle.

Okay, thanks. While I was reading it I was wondering what to call it. It's one of those weird books that goes with a series.

Trinity I finished Carpe Corpus (The Morganville Vampires, #6) by Rachel Caine I am going to get onto Fade Out (The Morganville Vampires, #7) by Rachel Caine because I am not feeling so well to be going to bed yet. I will see how far I can go into this one before heading to bed.
