Totally setting this up late, sorry! Welcome to day seven! This is the last day of the read-a-thon. I'll certainly be holding read-a-thons in the future because this was fun and I loved seeing everyone participate.
Let us know how your reading day is going below, and also how your week went in total. How much did you read? I'll be adding up my page numbers later. :)

Jessica Miller I have 100 pages left on The Book Thief. I am working again so hopefully I can accomplish my goal. Work is pretty slow

Hailee | 16 comments I was a bit lazy yesterday and didn't do much reading even though I had some time. Today I've read about 50 pages so far. Hopefully I'll have time to read more tonight!

Thank you Lindsay for organising this read-a-thon. I had a lot of fun. I hope everyones reading week went well!

Hailee | 16 comments Oh I was wondering... Will this group be inactive between read-a-thons or will there be threads set up where we chat about what we are reading between read-a-thons?


CrazyAsACupcake Im about halfway through Welcome to Night Vale which is my last book of the readathon. Because im camping all my updates are either taking forever to load or are just not loading at all. But im so proud of myself because I'm nearly finished!!!

I read the Percy Jackson series last year. Each book just gets better in my opinion, I hope you enjoy the rest of them. I'm looking forward starting the Heroes of Olypus series soon.

Hailee | 16 comments Well it is now gone midnight in the UK so the read-a-thon is officially over for me. I'm quite happy with my progress considering I was a lot busier than I had initially anticipated.

I read about 300 pages of Touch by Claire North I have about 60 pages left so I'll hopefully finish this tomorrow.

And I read about 100 pages of The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, #2) by Robert Jordan

Hufsa | 8 comments Well.....I kind of just failed with the read-a-thon :P I only read one book this week. Yep, ONE book! Here's my review of This Adventure Ends for those who wanted my opinion on it. Hope you all had more success reading this week than I did!

Jenn (tellingmelies) | 13 comments I read all of Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas -432 pages.
Read through all of the little stories in Stirring Up Fun with Food Over 100 Amazing and Easy Food Crafting Projects by Sarah Michelle Gellar - 288 pages
And I was able to get through 18% of Godsgrave (The Nevernight Chronicle, #2) by Jay Kristoff .

Not as much as I would have liked, but I ended up being busier than expected.

Looks like I read a total of 1200 pages this week! I totally failed the last few days of the read-a-thon, but I am happy with my results.
I finished two books:
- Winter
- Siege and Storm
I started two books:
- Nevernight
- The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue

Thank you so much to everyone indulging in my endeavor to host a read-a-thon! I loved seeing all of y'all's updates. I'll definitely host some more in the future. This was fun!

@Hailee
I can totally set up a discussion board for between read-a-thons, if you'd like. That also might help us all figure out a good time for the next read-a-thon.

It might be nice to have the option to check in with each other between read-a-thons, if other people are interested. And yes then we use it to plan for the next one 😊

Jenn (tellingmelies) | 13 comments @Haille @Lindsay - I think that's a good idea. That way we can all keep up with each other and jump back in when the next read-a-thon is :)
