Wow! You broke that fast! I can't believe how fast you are speeding through those pages.

Thank you! I'm very determined this year to make my goal of 144 books.

You go girl! My little challenge thing is already discouraging me since I am already 4 books behind on it. But I am 4 books ahead on my goal for 75!

Woohoo, Meghan! I'm 3 books behind on my 144 goal; I just made it my year goal as well.

You guys are both doing great! I put 144 books as my goal too, so I can see how I'm doing with it [100 book was supposed to be my real goal...]. As of right now, I'm 3 books ahead. This group has helped me SO much, I wouldn't be reading this much if it wasn't for the 12X12 challenge, and all the support from you guys. =)

You both will totally make it, I'm sure! 3 or 4 books behind is nothing, you guys can easily catch up, I'm totally positive.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins [372 Pages]

= 21,895 Pages

You would've reached 100 in no time Aneeqah! And thanks! I think that after we finish reading Great Expectations, reading will be a little easier for me. It's the hardest one that we have to read for class.

Thank you Zakiya. =) Yeah, that book looks long and complicated, so I'm sure you'll be in a reading rage after you finish it. =)

I sure hope so! To Kill a Mockingbird, on the other hand, will be a breeze. I loved the movie, and have been wanting to read the book for a while and just never got around to it.

Yay for that then! =) Like I said, you'll totally be able to catch up.

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I absolutely LOVED Anna and the French Kiss Aneeqah!

Z: You will LOVE To Kill a Mockingbird because I know that I did.

That's definitely a good thing to hear! I can't wait until we start it!

Meghan- I was so hesitant to read it... because of that awful cover and title! I'm kicking myself now for not reading it sooner... it was so good.

Zakiya- No problem. ;)

Read-a-thon Feburary 2012- My Plan!

So here's a list of books that I have lined up for the readathon [not in necessarily in order, I just have a bunch of possibilities!]



Goal: 5 Books, 1,200 Pages

Woohoo!!! Good luck, Aneeqah! :D We'll be on the road 6 hours during the readathon, so I'll have lots of time to read!

I am HOPING against all HOPE that I will be able to get quite a few books finished. I love your list of books Aneeqah! I have one book that I need to start tomorrow and I think I will finish my audiobook tomorrow.

Zakiya- You're so lucky you can read on the road! I can't at all, it makes me sick. :p Have fun on your road trip!

Meghan- So am I! I'm planning on starting and finishing a book tomorrow, although I'm having family over at my house tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. I also don't have President's Day off, so I can't really read that much over the week. =( We'll hope that I don't have too much homework during the week so I can read!

Good list of books to read for the read-a-thon! Looks like you are setting yourself up for success! =)

Thank you Jennifer! Well, I just hope I'm not setting up myself for failure. ;) I like to have a large list of possibilities when I read, especially with readathons, so I guess that's why my list is so long! My goal is to read 5 books. =)

Aww! I can do about anything on the road--except sleep. The car constantly moving just keeps me awake. Except when we went to Florida; but that was an 11 hour drive.

When I go on the road, the only thing I CAN do is sleep! It looks like we're opposites on that one, haha. =)

LOL!! Oh wells :)

I can't read while I'm in a car not because I get carsick, but my head starts to hurt.

Goodness, I haven't updated in forever! I will get to that tomorrow, along with a TBR for the readathon. I'm unsure when all my library holds will come in [I currently have 10 books on hold!] so I'll wait until my books start to come in before I do a TBR for March/April.

Thanks Jennifer!!

You have gotten some crazy reading done Aneeqah! Keep up the good work! Now I need to work on reading faster. I find I only read faster when a book completely pulls me in. Otherwise I sort of toddle along.

Thanks, Meghan!! I was in kind of a slump for a while, but now I'm reading like crazy. =) The book that really pulled me out of my slump was Grave Mercy. It was SO good. I totally suggest that you try it. =)

Woohoo!!! Awesome reading, Aneeqah! How was Lost Souls? Haven't bought it yet.

So many books I want to get my hands on. It looks like a row of candy!

Zakiya- Thank you!! I've been super bad about updating lately! I really liked City of Lost Souls, but it's not my favorite of the series. Better than COFA, though!

MS- I know!! My library has been getting some newer books lately, and I've been buying more books as well. ;)

That's good to hear! I'll have it soon, I hope :)
