YA Book Gang!! discussion

Hey ya'll. Well I saw this on a few other groups and I thought it was a brilliant idea!!!

So here's what happens, you get pairs or groups and read for an allocated time, I think 30 mins should be the maximun. Anyway you can read whatever book you want, it can be different or the same as the person or people you're doing the sprint with.

So when anyone is interested in doing a sprint, post it up below :)

I have to admit that I have never done this before and having a hard time trying to figure out what it is all about.
Do we read for a certain amount of time and then see who finishes their book first or is it just a way to make the time to read.
I would be interested, but I may have to watch one in action.

Oh OK! That sounds fun. I would be up for doing that.

It sounds cool! I'm just a little confused how that would work for people in different time zones?

Oh okay that makes sense! I think I'd like to try this!

Does anyone want to do a sprint on Sunday to try it out? I am on the east coast so any time in the evening would work for me.

I'll like to do a sprint later on today if anyone is interested :)

Hahaha thanks, when would suit you? and no bothers it's grand, I'm happy when people help :D Thank you :)

haha ya after 1pm for you i'd say cause I have a heap of homework to get done this morning after I sort out a few things here :)

I'll do one with you at :00 if you still want to.

Does anyone else want to do a sprint at :00 for 20 minutes? :)

Is 20 minutes alright with you Hannah?

Grand :) What are you reading? :)

Haha class, I'm reading unleashed. Have you gone far in it?

Haha ya that's the best thing about sprints :p 3 minutes to go :p

Haha class :D

I read 16 pages, my story is just beginning. I'm not sure what to think of it yet.

Haha ya :p

I just missed this sprint. Ran to Barnes and Noble. Wish I made it back in time.

I read Sapphire Blue for the last 1 1/2 hours and finished, so I guess I was partly doing it? lol.

Anyone interested in a 30 minute sprint at 8:00 eastern time?

I haven't a clue what eastern time is :p But i'll be up for a sprint in a little while :)

Ya so at :00 then it'll be 8:00 here but I haven't a clue if I'm eastern time :p I don't think so though

Ya I doubt that too :p

So in 7 minutes ya? :)

Haha ya I read around the same :p

Sorry, I forgot to come here and check in, but it is 8:23 here now and I got through 19 pages.

Where is everyone at?

I will do it at the next :00.

Yay! My first sprint.

What are you reading? I am reading two books (bedtime book and my mobile book (the one that I read when I have a moment here and there during the day). Thinking I will do my daytime book... Awake at Dawn.

Well, I am guessing we were going to read for an hour. I read 19 1/2 pages. It was just getting good so I am going to finish the chapter.

Hey anyone want to do one at :00?

Half an hour?

Ok cool!

I read 72 pages of All Our Yesterdays and finished the book lol.

I read kind of fast...

Oh interesting! How was your book?

It was really good! The end was a little confusing but i liked it a lot!

Definitely!

I read for 30 minutes. I guess the times were a little off. I could have read for an hour though.

Anyone wanna do a sprint in like a few hours?

I may be too late but I am available for a few hours so let me know if anyone would like to do one soon.

Someone up for a sprint?

Ya I am :)

Cool. :) Do you want to do at :50 for 20 minutes?

Would it be alright at :00?

Ye that'd be fine too. :)

Thanks :) And for 20 minutes? :)

Yup, 20 minutes.

Grand :) What are you reading?

I read 16 pages :)
