Comment here about all your Read-a-thon updates!

My goal depends on how many books I've finished up until that point. Assuming I finish the books I want to finish before the Read-a-thon, I will aim to read "Fahrenheit 451", and get most of the way (if not all the way) through "Cress". I will update everyone if that changes. When it come to re-reading books, I have no idea yet


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

Wait do we have to start a book at the beginning of the week?


message 4: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn  (carolynhomolka) | 31 comments Mod
No


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

Carolyn  (carolynhomolka) | 31 comments Mod
I'm just assuming I will be in starting Fahrenheit just around the beginning if the week


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll be readin Fahrenheit 451 and either counting by 7s, the beginning of everything, or the fifth wave


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey guys! Okay! Read a thon update! We'll be adding challenges to the Read a thon, like in the Booktube a thon, but there'll only be a few because this is only a week long. There can be two or three so we can all think of one, so here's mine:
One book you finish/read should be a realistic fiction book (dystopians don't count)

message 18: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn  (carolynhomolka) | 31 comments Mod
I'm currently reading Fahrenheit 451, and I'm actually enjoying it. I still have 2 1/2 days until the Read-a-thon, and I know I will have finished this book by then. So my new TBR is:
City of Bones
Eleanor & Park
Cress


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished champion, so that's off my list, but for the most part it's staying the same.


message 20: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments I'm shooting for finishing Matched by Allie Condie and then picking up Crossed and Reached from the library. If I can't find the other two books in the Matched series then I'll probably just start reading the Harry Potter series over again because this summer I told myself that I have re-read seven books and Harry Potter has seven books so bingo!


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

Carolyn  (carolynhomolka) | 31 comments Mod
I'm like halfway through my second book, Eleanor and park


message 28: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments I have finished Matched and last night I started Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone because I failed to make it to the library last night. However I will be going today and I hope to finish Harry Potter today and be able to start Crossed either tonight or tomorrow night.


message 29: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments Hey guys so I started Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone so I hope to have that finished by tomorrow cuz it's only 310 pages. At the library I got both Crossed and Reached and I will hopefully be reading those also however I think I will be reading The Goddess Inheritance first because this book is a third in a series and I have been dying to read it and I finally found it in the library so I will be reading that. Okay just wanted to clear things up! Bye and HAPPY READING!!

message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

Instead of city of bones?
The start and middle are very slow. Like, very.
I told you Kelsey I gave it about 100 pages and I didn't like it. So there


message 36: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments Carolyn read Shatter Me and it's not that slow the whole time!!


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

But it's slow for like 3/4 of the book.


message 38: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments Updating for the second to last day of the Read-A-Thon. I have finished the Goddess Inheritance (in one day actually) and I have begun Crossed by Ally Condie. I hope to have that finished tomorrow and also start Reached.

I'm almost done with Shatter Me. Hope to finish Unravel Me, but I don't know I that will happen


message 41: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments I've finished Crossed and now all I have to do is read Reached and I would have completed all of my TBR books plus one extra.

message 43: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn  (carolynhomolka) | 31 comments Mod
I finished Shatter Me last night


message 44: by OwlBeReading (new)

OwlBeReading | 14 comments I have almost read all of my TBR books for this read a thon. I have read Matched and Crossed by Ally Condie and I sadly have not finished Reached the third book in the Matched trilogy. However I have read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling and an extra book to kind of make up for not finishing Reached. That book was the Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter. Happy reading!
