ReadATheme ReadAThon discussion

Hey guys, what do you plan on reading for this month's ReadATheme ReadAThon? :p

Hey! :D I plan on reading at least one of the 3 books on my TBR!
My TBR:
The Witness, by R.L. Stine
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
A Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Happy Reading! :D

Hi!
I'm currently reading A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (so I'll count that!)
And I'll also read A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, since I've never gotten around to reading it!

Oh great! I read A Clockwork Orange a few weeks ago and really enjoy it!! I hope you are too :)

Hey everyone!

I'll be finishing The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

Enjoy your books guys!

Its funny actually 'cause you caught me at at a bad week, I'm just in the middle of reading The Woman in White and I'm just about halfway (which is about 300 pages in itself) so I don't think I will be able to do it this week.

However I just might be able to squeese in something later this month.

Hello there! Joining you from Los Angeles, CA.

I'm currently in the middle of something else right now, Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch but I'm slumping. So I might put it down for:

Saga, Volume 2
Audition
Hotel Iris
Saga, Volume 3

Yay for my first readathon! Thanks, Sabine, for posting about this.

Thanks for the invite! For this one, I will be reading Go With Me by Castle Freeman Jr. It's a mystery thriller where a girl is tormented in her cabin by a crazed stalker. It's not my usual genre for reading but I love movies like this so I thought I'd give it a shot!

No problem girl! I hope this read-a-thon could get you out of this slump :D

Hi, I'm planning on either The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers, or Skylight by David Hare

thanks for the invite!! I'm not sure yet what I'm going to read but I made a list of options - The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman.

I have no idea which one I'm going to pick yet but I'm excited! :)

Thanks for inviting me, Sabine! I'm looking forward to join this Read-A-Thon! I don't have a lot of books with less than 300 pages though. I wanted to read my newly bought book Trial by Fire - Josephine Angelini, but there are too 'many pages'. Next guess was to read A Snicker of Magic - Natalie Lloyd for the first time, which I have already bought like a couple of years ago, but this book has just a bit over 300 pages.
So to play fair by the rules, I have decided to read the Dutch version of Nobody does it Better - Cecily von Ziegesar. It's #7 from the Gossip Girl series and I'm currently re-reading them, so this actually fits perfectly. It has a respectable 246 amount of pages.
Everyone, enjoy your book(s)! :)

Hey hey, im planning on finishing the andromeda strain and the terminal man by michael crichton - I have both in one volume (so I dont know if thats cheating haha), and if I have time Ill also pick up the adventures of sherlovk holmes

Happy reading everyone

I'm actually also reading books over 300 pages hihi. I'd say, just read books that you think will be quick reads :D

Here's my August Wrap-Up and readathon announcement:
https://shelfpickings.wordpress.com/2...

I want to do it but i will be driving all weekend so I am hoping to maybe get one book done if I have the time. I have either Brave New World or Slaughter House Five on my list!

Sabine wrote: "I'm actually also reading books over 300 pages hihi. I'd say, just read books that you think will be quick reads :D"

Ohh, alright! Now it's really tempting to read A Snicker of Magic to be honest.. It has 309 pages. So yeah, now I think I'll pick this one. ^_^

Thank you for inviting me to the group! :D

This weekend I'll be reading Henry James, The Aspern Papers and In the Cage. Both are under 150 pages more or less, and I am excited to get started with him since it is his centenary and the books sound very exciting!

I'll be sharing via Twitter and Instagram, too :D

Great Cate! I just tweeted your post! :)

Thank you, Jeanne! I can't wait to get started.

Hello everybody!

I think I'll be reading "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck :)

Hi Everyone,

I want to finish "Hard Boild Wanderland and The End of the World" by Murakami, and "The Monk who Sold the Ferrari" :D

Have an enjoyable day everyone! :)

I heard so much about it and haven't got the chance to read it yet even though Steinbeck is a favorite of mine. Can't wait to hear your thoughts :)

Thanks for the invite Jeanne :) I'm going to read Fahrenheit 451! And I'm going to upload my mini announcement at some point later as well...

I just started Noggin (which is slightly over 300 pages) which is a book I got free at a signing and have no clue if it's good or not! getting through it quite quickly though!

Hi! I plan of reading The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey and the Miserable Mill by Lemony Snicket

I heard a lot of mixed reviews on this one can't wait to know what you think :)

I'm on my 3rd read, Audition by Ryu Murakami. But taking a break for a bit tonight. There's a night market near me that is calling my name.

Happy reading everyone!

Thanks for adding me Rory! :) I'm planning on reading Blue is the Warmest Color by Julie Maroh this month. I haven't watched the movie yet but many people recommended this one already and so I told myself that I have to give it a try. What do you guys think? :)

Blue is the Warmest Color is a great book, I enjoyed it a lot! :)

I finished Tales of Beedle the Bard! I had time to read only this one

I finished both the andromeda strain and the terminal man - but only got a few chapters into sherlock -
I loved beedle the bard, which story was your favorite?

Thanks! I'm halfway and it's good :)

I didn't get to finish A Snicker Of Magic by Natalie Lloyd in time, but I will definitely finish it tomorrow. It is definitely a quick read, very funny, witty, and so original! Just spindiddly good! Can't wait to find out how it ends.

I love that little collection of stories.

So I read everything on my TBR already with several hours to spare. I kinda wanna squeeze one more graphic novel maybe? XD

Might squeeze in some short stories too.
