A Proper Family Christmas by Chrissie Manby.

So sorry this was just an okay read for you . I enjoyed reading your review though .

Thanks . It's a shame it wasn't a book for you.

2 recent reviews. Cathy Hopkins - The Kicking the Bucket List A nice but weepy chick-lit/rom-com book. It made me want to hug my loved ones close. Loes den Hollander - Duivelspact This was a pretty good psychological Dutch thriller. Even a few days after I finished it, I was thinking about it.

That's pretty good! Particularly if you're not really enjoying the book. How far into the book are you? I liked the movie Inkheart but haven't yet read the book/trilogy it's based on. Yesterday I finished My Solo Exchange Diary 2 by Nagata Kabi, I ended up re-reading most of the pages I read on Saturday. I didn't read anything else. Yesterday my brother and his girlfriend came by unexpectedly (rather, I heard about it maybe an hour beforehand), I phoned with my sister, I spent time with my parents, I did laundry, basically it was already pretty late in the day (for me) by the time I could sit down and have some time on my own. I did enjoy spending time with my family though. I felt pretty exhausted from Saturday and Sunday, so after I finished My Solo Exchange Diary 2, I felt too tired to read anything else. I hope you all had fun reading during this read-a-thon . The next read-a-thon is scheduled to take place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of August (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Though as usual, if anyone wants the dates moved to a different weekend, we can discuss that. I don't know if anyone's going on holiday or anything. Mine will be end of September / beginning of October, so I will have to skip the October read-a-thon (unless we move it). Thank you all for participating !

I'm glad you were able to find it on your Kindle . How odd about your Kindle vs. GoodReads! Sometimes GoodReads and Amazon differ too, then I go by Amazon since they are the ones that sell it (and GoodReads is sometimes incorrect for paperbooks I read too). Nice, I thought it might have something to do with sports. Did you like the book? That's a lot of pages! I look forward to read your thoughts on Perks in your thread, I read the books years ago. Yesterday I read 25% of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness 3: My Solo Exchange Diary 2 by Nagata Kabi, and then realised I was reading book 3 instead of book 2. So then I started and finished My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness 2: My Solo Exchange Diary 1. I had read the first book about a month ago in our June read-a-thon I believe. I plan to go back to My Solo Exchange Diary 2 today, though I haven't decided yet if I will re-read or skim or skip the pages I read yesterday by accident. I wish everyone happy reading during this last day of the read-a-thon (Sunday)!

When I was a kid I set my books up as a library too, and my sister did the same with hers, and we'd go to each other's libraries and pick out books.

Wow, that's really well done! I'm glad you had a good time reading . Is Dare to Tri non-fiction or fiction? That's not you being stupid! Most of the books I've read on my Kindle, don't come with page numbers. I have to look it up online to work it out how many page is % read (my own database, Amazon or GoodReads). I don't know how it works for your Kindle, for my 1rst generation Paperwhite, in the left bottom corner it tells you location / page numbers / time left in chapter / time left in book / nothing. It displays one of those 5 things. You can cycle through them, by tapping the left bottom corner. If the book does not have page numbers, it will skip over that one. Because so many of the books I read on my Kindle, do not have page numbers, and the time left in chapter and time left in book is almost never accurate, I just have it always set to 'location' (which is only a little bit indicative of how much you've read but okay). But I don't know how it works for newer or different Kindles! They may not have that feature or have it in a different place. On Thursday I read Fruits Basket Volume 7 (re-read). On Friday I read Fruits Basket Volume 8 (not a re-read) and I read I Hate Fairyland 4: Sadly Never After. I haven't done much reading yet today and I'm really tired from being out for a large part of the day, so not sure how much I'll read today. We will see. Happy reading, everyone !!

Agreed! About empathy, fiction books (not one specific book, but books in general) taught me a lot about social rules and how people might feel in certain situations. With my autism, the social rules don't come naturally to me. I do have empathy! Books taught me a lot about how someone might feel in a certain situation and how to respond to it. I didn't mention it before because it's not one book specifically. Having empathy and knowing social rules & customs are not the same thing. Anyway, I love this thread .

I love that your sister recommended a book to you . It's nice when you have a family member who also likes to read. My sister and I talk about books sometimes too . I finished the short stories (see my earlier post) and went back to reading The Core. Though since the read-a-thon is coming up, I'll be reading some graphic novels & manga etc, from today to (the end of) Sunday.

It's a bit early to post this, but the read-a-thon is this coming weekend, and I wanted to wish everyone happy reading for this weekend . I'm looking forward to it .
