We're starting in a little more than a day. What do you plan on reading first?

I'll probably start with and because they are what I need for my music challenge.

Usually I start with a couple smaller books, so I might start with James Patterson's and

I'm mostly just trying to finish up my currently reading shelf right now. Then starting the 31st I'll be travelling to Portugal so I have very specific books I'm trying to read since I'll have a limited amount of books I'll be able to read. :)

How exciting! Have you ever been to Portugal before?

I'm going to try and finish the books I'm currently reading and then get a good start on next year's A-Z challenge :)

Good luck, Cara! :)

Same! Ill probably start with a book im currently reading: Warcross

I'm probably going to start with reading some of the books in the "Dead is" series. I have a year-long challenge for another group that I totally forgot about until now (whoops). It ends the 8th so I will be reading as many skinny books as I can in an effort to finish that challenge! XD

Lol Good luck, Jessica.

We'll see if I get through those two and where I go from there. The last few books have been a serious smut fest, and I think I need to Clorox my brain out with some fun YA.

I really want to finish and . If I can, I also want to finish either the Series of Unfortunate Events series or the Twitches Series.

Ooh, it starts so soon! I can't wait!! I'm starting with and that I'm currently reading.

Wonder Woman was my favorite read of 2017! I hope you enjoy it!

I finished Rosemary's Baby at around 3 am and it's 6 am right now, so I'm going to read a bit of Falsies or Ensnared before going back to bed.(:

Just started I'm audio booking it so that I can have a chance over the next week as I have to work. Unlikely to get it done today as it's over 9 hours, but hoping to actually read another book tonight while I volunteer for Friday Night Magic at the hobby store my hubby works at.

Has anyone read any great books so far?

Attention! The point thread is now open. Sorry for the mix up, and thanks for the understanding. :)

How is everyone doing? Are you all ready for the new year?

I ended up getting sick last night, and now I'm 100 pages behind schedule. And to make things worse, I woke up at 3 pm today and haven't read anything yet D: and I go back to classes in two days (9 am classes mind you). I don't know how it's gonna affect my reading, but my health and school come first :/ I might end up reducing my goal. (:

I'm sorry you got sick! Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

Hello! I have a question regarding the point system :)

In the point system thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...), it was stated that BINGO: (1 point each)

Does this mean 1 point for each square? For example, if I read a book which qualifies for the Published in 2017 and Favorite Genre squares, does this mean I earned 2 points?

Thank you!

You get one point for each bingo you get, and 5 if you cover the entire board.

I read earlier in November/December last year. It was slow to get started for me, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down! I hope you enjoy it as well.

I also had a hard time getting into The Siren, but I was listening to it on an audio book so it wasn't too bad.

Last day! What is everybody reading?

Countdown clock so you know when the readathon ends: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

I want to read but with my husband off and wanting to do errands "together" (guess I can't complain lol) I don't know if I can do that one. Here's hoping...fingers crossed!!

I am trying to finish . I'm about halfway done right now. If I can finish this early enough, I'd like to try to start and finish that as well before time runs out! =)

I was hoping to still finish and I just did! Now I'll just read on and as much as I can.

Anna, I want to thank you for putting this read-a-thon on for us! It really gave me the impetus I needed to have a good end and an excellent start to my reading goals!! I had SO much fun, especially trying to get the BINGOs added. LOL I had 2 to go and I could add a less than 100 pages before the deadline but hubby is calling me to come watch a show we watch together. He's been patient with me this week while I read 16 books. LOL I really appreciate all your hard work and the other mods.

I echo Vicki's sentiments! This has been a lot of fun and I managed to read so many books in such a short time frame, which was really exciting, including a few that have been on my TBR list for quite some time. Thanks again for setting this up!

I'm done! I was going to read a bit more, but a few hours ago I decided to take a break from reading and I decided to just call it done for the night! This was really great and it really helped me on my challenge! I only have 5 more books to read (one of which I am currently reading) and I have confidence that I can finish them by the 8th!

Good luck, Jessica. You did awesome on the read-a-Thon!

This was such a great read-a-thon! I can't wait to participate in the next one. I think that was the fastest I've ever gotten through books before!
