75 Books...More or Less! discussion

Please join us for a readathon! Stop by and tell us what you are reading and if you have a goal for how much you want to read this weekend please share it with us so we can cheer you on!

Ready, Set, Read!!!!!

My goal for this weekend is to read 750 pages between tonight and Monday night. It's a bit of a long shot, but it would help me get caught up a little for the challenge. I also have a book on take, South of Broad, that I plan on listening to while I am doing some organization projects.

I would like to read the third book in the Time Odyssey series this weekend. It's about 300 pages, so even if I don't read AT ALL Saturday or Sunday (though I am hoping for a least a few snatches of time to myself) I should be able to finish it on Monday.

My goals are:
1)read 100 pages in Atlas Shrugged
2)Read Fudge Cupcake Murder
3) Start Changes (Get about 20 pages in)
4) Read about 30 pages in Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places
And maybe
5) Read 20 pages in Don Quixote

That's only a total of about 520 pages...so not too ambitious, but just ambitious enough! =)
I have 4 days to do it, right? My hubby is off Fri-Mon. Or just 3?

Good Lord, Girl! 750 pages?! Wow! You can do it!!

Joy, I was thinking some people have Monday off for Columbus Day so I also included Monday until midnight. Since there are only a few of us I think we can wing it....lol

Cool! Thanks! It's Saturday morning where I'm at! I'm just about to get off this computer, sit the kid in front of the Telly with crackers and juice and start in on
Happy reading!

I always forget you are in a different time zone...lol You'll be way ahead of me by the time I get up tomorrow morning...hahah

I had a million things to do tonight so I only got 20 pages read so far in

Only got a little bit into , because my hubby got up and we went to the store, then out for lunch. but now the baby is down for her nap and the hubs is gonna do homework...which means:READING TIME FOR MOMMY!!!! Yipppeee!

Well, it's 10:30 pm, Sat. night, and I am just about half done withFudge Cupcake Murder, and with that, I am off to bed! Hope to finish this one up tomorrow, and then move onto some of the smaller page goals in other books! How is everyone else doing?

I read 48 pages in

I'm headed to the gym now for a couple of hours with a friend. When I get back I hope to get a little bit more reading sneaked in before dinner!

Total so far: 68 pages

Did I realy say my goal was 750? Yikes!

Just started Firstborn and it felt longer than 300 pages so I double checked. Turns out the GR page was wrong; the HC is actually 364. Should still be doable.

Also I'm on my phone so hopefully this post turns out alright. It'd be nice if they added groups to the mobile version of the site.

Charleen, thanks for checking in from your phone :)

I was really hoping to get more reading done today, looks like I won't be making my 750 page goal!

Great job!!!

Last night I finished , today I'll work a bit on some of my smaller reading goals...20 pages in this book, 30 in that one...lol

I had planned on doing the most of my reading today but we had unxpected company. So instead of reading I was busy cooking, entertaining, and talking. I did manage to read some more of

My total pages is now: 164

I'm just about to head to bed but I was able to get in a couple of chapters with

My total pages are now: 187

Way to go Andrea!!

Thanks Joy! I think my original goal was way off!...hahah I wish more people had joined in but it has been really fun with just the three of us as well. I read way more than I would have on a regular weekend and I still have tomorrow!

Saturday I got to page 49. Sunday I made it only to page 72. I have just under 300 pages to read today if I'm going to finish this book! But I've got nothing else on the agenda so I think I can still get it done.

Also, this is book #75, so once I finish this, I am done for the year! (Okay, not really DONE...)

Wow Charleen! I think you can do it :)

I was gonna post this last night, but was tired,and forgot. It's now Tuesday morning here. I got 445 pages in! I finished three of my goals

1- read 100 pages in Atlas Shrugged (actually got about 30 more in on that one)
2- read all of Fudge Cupcake Murder
3- read 20 pages in Don Quixote

And I have no idea HOW I did it! LOL....between pacifying the two babies in my life (hubby and child lol) PLUS! I was also in a Stitch-A-Long this weekend with a needlework friend and got about 3 hours of work on on that project! I'd say I had a productive weekend!

Way to go Charleen!

Phew! Did it! Only one day to devote to the readathon, and not only did I read nearly 300 pages, but I finished my 75 for the year! Huzzah!

Woohooo awesome job Charleen! I'm so glad that you got to do this with us. Maybe next time we will have a bigger group.

I have to add up my pages before I go to bed. I've been cleaning and organizing all day but I think I might just make it to 400 pages, I was really hoping for 500 after I knew I would not make 750 but that's okay. I still got a ton of reading done and had fun.

Either way, it's more than you would have done with out the challenge, right?

Exactly!

My subtotal is 349 pages! I have two hours left to read so it would be nice if I could make it to an even 400 but I'm not sure if my eyes will be in on that plan...hahah
