Marie H Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I started off quite well, on Friday, but failed miserably over the weekend . Better next time.... Quote
Athena Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 The next read-a-thon will take place on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of January, so tomorrow and the weekend. Is anyone joining me? Quote
karen.d Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Yes I will try hard to join in with the first read-a-thon of 2014. Looking forward to it! Quote
Marie H Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I hope to join in the read-a-thon this weekend . Not absolutely sure what to read, but it would be good to try short stories, maybe Fyodor Dostoevsky's. Quote
Kylie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm hoping to join in! Work is slow at the moment, so this weekend is a great chance to relax and read while I keep one eye on the cricket. Hopefully I'll make some progress with The Secret History. Quote
frankie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Will be definitely joining! Just been to the library to get some reading material for the weekend Quote
Kylie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Will be definitely joining! Just been to the library to get some reading material for the weekend Ah, so you have already acquired some books this year? Quote
frankie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Ah, so you have already acquired some books this year? A library!! You borrow books, you don't acquire them for yourself I know you are not a regular patron of any library, but I thought you would still know how the system works Quote
Kylie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 But I thought you counted borrowing books as 'acquiring' them - even if it is a temporary acquisition. Obviously I was wrong! Quote
frankie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 But I thought you counted borrowing books as 'acquiring' them - even if it is a temporary acquisition. Obviously I was wrong! Oh, okay No, I don't count borrowing, because unfortunately I can't keep the library loans for as long as I like! Acquiring is purchasing, getting a book for free from the book exchange trolley, or getting a book as a pressie, or maybe a book swap. That sort of things. Quote
BSchultz19 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Friday and Saturday I will definitely be participating. Hopefully I can get a lot of reading in!! Quote
Athena Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Great to hear you'll all be joining ! Happy Reading ! Quote
Little Pixie Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I`m in too. I`ve got Silent in the Sanctuary - Deann Raybourn picked out, plus my English Lit Guide from my Mighty Tome Collection. Quote
BSchultz19 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Today I spent about 6 hours reading Divergent. I read all 487 pages in that time. IT. WAS. GOOD. Quote
dex Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I read Time out of joint by Philip k. Dick, 187 pages in 3 1/2 hours overall on friday. Quote

Marie H Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I managed only 30 minutes reading yesterday, and no reading at all today, so far . *bad kitty!* Maybe tomorrow.....or at least I will have the 'cone of shame' for such a pathetic attempt . Quote
dex Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I read Now wait for last year by Philip K. Dick, 225 pages in about 5 1/4 hours on saturday Quote
chesilbeach Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I must admit, I haven't been actively participating, but I am having a great weekend of reading. I've finished 300 pages of Saplings by Noel Streatfeild, and as of this morning, I'm 70 pages into the graphic novel Gemma Bovery by Posy Simmonds. I'm hoping to finish that this morning, and perhaps sneak in another book this afternoon. Quote

frankie Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I haven't actually counted the pages but I did read a good chunk of The Secret History and thus finished the book. Quote
