Wow! That's a lot! No, I've read the 'Harry Potter' series quite a few times now.

We had carnival this weekend too. I didn't join in, because it was too noisy and crowded! 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' by Patrick Ness had a very intriguing ending.I want to know what will happen! Here's my final count for the read-a.-thon: Friday: 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' -Patrick Ness 87 Pages Saturday:'The Knife of Never Letting Go'- Patrick Ness 145 Pages Sunday: 'The Knife of Never Letting Go'-Patrick Ness 58 Pages (Finished) 'The Diving-Bell and The Butterfly'- Jean-Dominique Bauby 139 pages (Finished) 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' Gail Honeyman 37 Pages (DNF) 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'- J.K Rowling (11 pages) Total Pages read: 477 pages I enjoyed all of my reads this weekend, apart from 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine'. I stopped reading after 37 pages, because I didn't like the tone of the book. Looking forward to the next read-a-tjhon already!

Today I finished reading 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' by Patrick Ness and 'The Diving- Bell and the Butterfly' by Jean-Dominique Bauby. They were both very different, but I really liked them. Now I'm going to start reading 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. This book got a lot of hype last year, so I'm interested to see if I'm going to enjoy it. Edit> I started reading 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman and had to stop reading after 40 pages, because I didn't not like it's almost sneering tone. It seemed like everyone (including the writer) was making fun of Eleanor. Even the supposed funny moments I read, just came across as laughing at her, not with her. Am I missing the point of this book, or does anyone else feel like this? Now, I've started 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' by J.K Rowling.

Here's my Progress so for: Friday: 'The Knife of Never Letting Go'- Patrick Ness 97 pages Saturday: 'The Knife of Never Letting Go'- Patrick Ness 145 pages Sunday: I've read the last 59 pages of 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' and I'm really sad, because I have to wait to get the other two books in the series, to find out what's going to happen Now, I'm just about to start 'The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly' by Jean-Dominique Bauby. It's only 139 pages long, so I should get that finished by the end of the day.

I finished 'Testimony' by Anita Shreve this morning and I had a bit of trouble reading it at first, but in the end, I quite enjoyed it. Now, I'm reading 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' by Patrick Ness. It seems interesting so far.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the trilogy. I finished reading 'The Passage' a couple of weeks ago and have been worried about reading the next book, just in case it isn't as good as the first!

ooh! What a lovely book! Congratulations.
