Athena Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I finished a Hamish MacBeth mystery and am picking up with Pride and Prejudice and Cheese and Grits. Think I might finish this off tonight! Then its on to Last Wool and Testament (a haunted yarn shop mystery). Well done ! I bet I read for 4 hours and accomplished 200 pages. Here's to October! Yep! Yesterday I finished reading Susan Hatler - Better Date than Never 7: Driven to Date and I bought and read Susan Hatler - Better Date than Never 8: Up to Date. I didn't know it was out but I found out about it finishing book 7 (they're novellas). I also read Ann M. Martin - The BabySitter's Club 16: Jessi's Secret Language. How did the rest of you do? The next read-a-thon will take place on 3rd 4th 5th of October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks! l'm looking forward to the next read-a-thon. Me too . (as a sidenote, the 4th October, Saturday, is 'animals-day' in the Netherlands, so I'll be giving our pets something nice.) For the next read-a-thon, Anna and I are going to read the Four stories by Veronica Roth. I also plan on trying to read some other short books and hopefully do better than last weekend.

Athena Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 The read-a-thon is next week / weekend (so not today..)! I'm excited for it, hopefully it'll be fun. I'll be reading the Four stories by Veronica Roth together with Anna. Other than that I'm not sure yet what I'll read, though I have some shorter paperbacks lined up as usual that I might read. If anyone wants to see a photo I'll make one. Karen, will you be participating in the read-a-thon? Anyone else..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'll be reading the Four stories by Veronica Roth together with Anna. I can't wait!! They better be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 It would appear no one else might be joining us..? Either way, I look forward to the next few days! I'm hoping my mojo will be kind to me , that I'll be able to do plenty of reading! I'll be starting with the Four stories and after that will be choosing from a big pile of smaller books (including some children's and YA and re-reads). :exc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 ^^ Much higher hopes than I lol I think it'll just be the Four stories for me. But, we won't have any homework... so I'll be able to read most of Friday, all of Saturday and Sunday. No plans, just reading, *sigh* how nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I started Four: The Transfer, today at 9am! Amazing how easy it is to fall back into this world. I forgot how much I liked it, and how much I like the character of Four! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday I was really tired after going food shopping so I spend several hours resting and feeling bad. On Sunday I didn't feel well either. So to be honest the read-a-thon was mainly a success on Friday, the other two days I didn't feel so great though there were moments in the day where I was able to enjoy the reading.

dtrpath27 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wow! Everyone read so much. I had a very lackluster read-a-thon, only having time to read five chapters of Wuthering Heights. I'll get 'em next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
