I'm shooting for 1000 Pages and I may or may not actually stick to my TBR - we'll see!
11/5: Cambodia Noir You Know Me Well 600 Pages
I read on and off all day yesterday and was just going to start another book but instead accidentally stayed up and finished it as well. Oops.
11/6: The Hawkweed Prophecy 368 Pages
Another day I spent reading on and off and then stayed up too late doing the same.
11/7: Sleeping Giants 304 Pages
I actually planned on not reading as much today but woke up slightly sick so I ended up reading quite a bit instead. I absolutely loved this book and can't wait for the next in the series!
11/8:Arena (13%)
I didn't get much reading done due to the election and getting some chores done.
11/9: Arena 336 Pages
I had a few things to do today but still managed to get a bit of reading in.
11/10: It Takes One
I managed to fit in some reading today and got about 75% through this book.
11/11: It Takes One 416 Pages The Invasion of Heaven 70 Pages (DNF) The Other Einstein
I was able to do quite a bit of reading again today which was nice. I got part way through The Invasion of Heaven and realized it really wasn't for me, I might try it again in the future. With that, I'm done with the TBR I created which I'm really surprised by.

11/9: Not a lot of reading done today. Still, I read 25% (about 89 pages) of Everbound. I'm currently 50% into it. I will pick up the final book in the trilogy as soon as I finish this one, possibly on thursday.

Vivian -- I have Everneath on my TBR, that sounds like a pretty good recommendation if you're wanting to just keep on going in the series! :DI haven't gotten much read today, we spent the afternoon raking/vacuuming leaves for my Mom at her house and it's hard work! Hopefully I'll get some reading time in tomorrow!
I hope everyone has had a great first day!

I've already picked up the second one. I think it's safe to say I'll binge read the trilogy. What can I say? I'm a sucker for mythology and angsty, epic love stories!
I forgot that the read-a-thon was already here, this week has just flown. Happened to read a couple picture books yesterday though and finished The Night Sister, which I enjoyed a lot more than I was expecting. :)Hope everyone has a good reading week!
Becky wrote: "So I sillily did not realize I was going on vacation half way through this readathon when I signed up, so I am going to have to drop out. I will be touring Universal Studios in California for most ..."No worries, have a great time!
All,I am interested in bringing on some assistant moderators, I am currently the only active one, and while maintaining this group has been manageable so far, I want to have some others involved to spread the job to keep things running smoothly.
Moderator duties consist of making sure things are running smoothly in the area you choose, monitoring new posts for content, just to make sure they follow group guidelines for a friendly all ages site, greeting new members as they post in the introduction site, setting up read-a-thon's if you choose that area. etc.
If you are active in the group and plan on being involved long term and are interested in being a moderator, please message me, and include which parts of the group you would be interested in helping with (read-a-thon's, sprints, pick-it-for-me, etc.)
Thanks!

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone's reading is going well! I've knocked out a couple library graphic novels, and still working on Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which I am enjoying.
Shaunesay wrote: "Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone's reading is going well! I've knocked out a couple library graphic novels, and still working on Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which I am enjoying."I really liked Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I recommend the whole trilogy, in fact!
My reading seems to be going slowly as usual but I'm still enjoying myself (and the books) so it's all good. :)
Im generally a slow reader so I'm not reading a lot of pages a day but have finished two books and read the entirety of a small book so far!
I'll be honest I've been reading mostly picture books/graphic novels. Sooo my page count is a bit inflated but oh well haha!1. I've been in a pretty bleh mood and really needed the pick-me-up, which did help. I love picture books so much, I feel like I appreciate them even more now as an adult than when I was a kid. :D
2. I've been struggling to read the past several months due to getting seizures consistently when reading. :( Very frustrating, but at least I can listen to some audiobooks! This week has been especially bad, so basically just picture & audiobooks, but I'm overall enjoying what I'm reading so far which is all that really matters. :)
Shaunesay wrote: "Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone's reading is going well!

One of my all-time favourites!
Oh my Ashley! I hope that lets up for you! There are some really great audiobooks and I really didn't think I wanted to listen to them in the very beginning, now I'm definitely an addict! ;) There are some very cool graphic novels out there. I've managed a few myself this week. It's been pretty disruptive as a whole. :/
Yeah I've been loving audiobooks the past few years! I'm so thankful for OverDrive's free audiobooks. I actually listened to the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy and am glad I did, with all of the fancy schmancy names that I would have butchered haha. I completely fell in love with the narrator!
I have been very busy this week, with little or no time to read, so I didn't join in the readathon from the beginning, but I have a free day to do what I want. 11/12: currently reading:

Some books are so much better with the narration. :)
One of our libraries uses Overdrive as their digital/audio application and I love it, much better than Axis360.I didn't get much done this week, if it hadn't been for the two graphic novels I read earlier in the week.
Ah well, that's the way it goes! See you all next weekend!
