frankie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The next read-a-thon is 6.-8.2, so the weekend after next one. Too bad! I could've gone for one next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Frankie is right, our read-a-thon is on th 6th, 7th and 8th of February. We can move it to next weekend though if that works better for most people? I don't really mind either way, I think I have some time on both weekends.

dtrpath27 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) My brain was just uncertain. I'm back on track now, though. Thanks, ladies! Edited January 25, 2015 by dtrpath27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 My brain was just uncertain. I'm back on track now, though. Thanks, ladies! That's okay, it can happen and you're free to ask . I've made a little read-a-thon pile already. Aside from a few of my own books I hope to be reading a lot of library books that I borrowed. Is it too early to put up a list of all the books ..

dtrpath27 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm guilty as well. I already have a mental list going. I might as well make it official, though. I plan to tie up any loose ends from the two I'm currently reading, pick up the next Flavia de Luce mystery and try to get a hold of either The Rosie Effect or the next one in the Brilliance series. Failing those two, The Remains of the Day is sitting patiently on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSchultz19 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think that the next read-a-thon I'm going to try to get through re-reading the first two, possibly three Harry Potter books. Some easy reads to occupy my reading weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrpath27 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wow, Gaia! You really have it all mapped out. I hope it turns out to be a great weekend for reading. BSchultz, that sounds like fun! I think someone did that last read-a-thon. I thought about doing that with my Thursday Next books for the same reason. I still might. Hmm...good thing I have time to decide.

Some easy reads to occupy my reading weekend I hope you enjoy them! I re-read all the books for the read-a-thon, one per month / read-a-thon (though because of the size of the last three books and because I was also reading other books, I didn't finish those during the read-a-thon). They are quite suitable for it I think! I hope you have lots of fun . Wow, Gaia! You really have it all mapped out. I hope it turns out to be a great weekend for reading.

I think someone did that last read-a-thon. I thought about doing that with my Thursday Next books for the same reason. I still might. Hmm...good thing I have time to decide. I'm hoping I pick up on some things I missed the first time. Especially foreshadowing of some sort now that I know the ending. It has been a long time since I've read the early books. I hope you enjoy them!

I agree. They are perfect for the read-a-thon. Relaxing, easy to read, and could read them for hours at a time. Also it would take awhile to run out of material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I hope that I'll have lots of time for reading this weekend - to finish Lady Oracle (half way through at the mo.) and The Giver to start . I will definitely be reading this, it is on my long short list- I just can't do it atm. But I will totally be looking forward to hearing what you and the group have to say about it! (though I am quite tired.. I don't know how much I'll be able to read in the next three days but we'll see). Probably as much as me on a good day I'm about more than 50% of the way through Season One of Yesterday's Gone, having only Episodes 5 and 6 left, so that is probably what I will continue with. It will probably only take me through Friday or part of Saturday (it is way too terrifying for reading after evening or near bedtime... no, really, I am serious). I don't know about doing Season Two yet, it depends on how Season One ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've got bits and pieces to do around my apartment this weekend but I should be able to do a good amount of reading finally.

Athena Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I've got bits and pieces to do around my apartment this weekend but I should be able to do a good amount of reading finally. This will be the first Read-a-thon I've been able to join in on for a while I wish you a lot of fun ! Here is my progress for yesterday: Friday 06-02-2015 1h 10 mins, 340 pages, Rachel Reneé Rusell - Dork Diaries 6: Tales From a Not-So-Happy Heartbreaker 1h 10 mins, 133 pages, Ann M. Martin - The BabySitter's Club 26: Claudia and the Sad Goodbye (re-read) 1h 40 mins, 172 pages, A. C. Baantjer and Simon de Waal - De Waal & Baantjer 9: Een Tip van de Sluier Total: 4h, 645 pages Unfortunately, I got a bad headache in the afternoon (from a virus). I was dizzy and couldn't follow the words on the page anymore (I didn't think I read for 4 hours though.. I think it was shorter than that, but this is what I wrote down. I think my speed slowed down drastically trying to follow the words when I was feeling so bad.). I spent a couple of hours in bed though I did manage to do a bit more reading in the evening. This morning I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday afternoon, so I hope to do some more reading today. Happy Reading today ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I started The Giver last night. Only read a couple of chapters to far, but I'm hooked already . I'm glad you're enjoying it so far . Here's my progress for yesterday: Saturday 07-02-2015 1h 35 mins, 383 pages, Geronimo Stilton - Fantasia 6: Fantasia VI (Sesto Viaggio Nel Regno Della Fantasia) 1h 25 mins, 510 pages, Disney - Donald Duck Dubbel Pocket 2 (re-read) 1h 35 mins, 184 pages, E. B. White - Charlotte's Web (Colour Edition) 1h, 200 pages, Geronimo Stilton - Fantasia 7: Fantasia VII (Viaggio Nel Regno Della Fantasia 7: Settimo Viaggio Nel Regno Della Fantasia) Total: 5h 35 mins, 1277 pages I read more than I thought I had! I was quite tired in the later afternoon. I got distracted by the computer and with my tiredness my reading slowed down a lot, I was tired so I couldn't read as much as I wanted to. Gladly in the evening I felt a little bit better so I managed to read for another hour or so then. I liked the books I read. So far today I've done some reading this morning, and I hope to do some more reading this afternoon (my library books are due in a few days so I suppose I'd better read some more for that at least ). Is everyone else who's reading this weekend, having fun too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I read some more of The Giver yesterday, and I'm approx half of the book now, and it is very good. I hope to spend most of this afternoon reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrpath27 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Don't feel bad! I've been a bit of a slacker this weekend. Friday I read three issues of Threads magazine cover to cover, skimmed through a book on sewing skirts and read half of another book on garments. Saturday, I went to parades and napped. Highly productive. Today I'm alternating between sewing and lazing around on here. Does reading posts count toward my totals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
