So here's what my slow reading butt is looking at trying to get through:
Vanish by Sophie Jordan (I only have 100 p[ages left)
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore
I'll probably get most of the way through I Am Number Four but I'm really hoping to read The Power of Six. We'll see! I know your usually supposed to pick tiny books for these things but these are the books I must get read so I can get reviews out.
If you want to sit down and read for as long as you can today, feel free! I'll even sweeten the deal with a book of your choice from the Book Depository for one lucky person who joins in (picked randomly from the comments)!
Rules:
Rules:
- Leave a comment with a link to your post for your goals (+1)
- Leave a comment at the end with a link to your actual stats (pages/books read and time allotted) (+1)
- If you advertised, leave that in one of your comments too (+1)
- You must leave your email
- Read-A-Thon goes until Saturday August 13 at 3 pm EST
- There is no amount of time you have to read. I just want to know how long you did!
- Have fun!
You're not the only one blessed with a slow reading butt (somehow I read faster when it's colder, I dunno) - I started "Mini Shopaholic" (Sophie Kinsella) two days ago and I really REALLY hope to finish it by Sunday!

Today I'm re-reading NIGHTSHADE since WOLFSBANE just came in the mail this week. I'm on pg 257 right now and I'm reading on my down time. Since I have to go to a wedding this evening, I'm just hoping to get to pg 450 or so. We shall see.

Aww this sounds like fun.. But I'm a fast reader, the only reason I haven't finished the current book I'm reading is that I get bored with it.. I hope your read-a-thon is successful! :)

Oh man, I have a sad addiction to read-a-thons. Unfortunately the timing is just never perfect. My weekend is already booked. I am just hoping to find some time for reading at all. I would like to get one book read in the next two days.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! I haven't gotten much reading done in a while and Entwined (Heather Dixon) is next on my reading list.

Ooo I love read-a-thons! Even though I'm not exactly the fastest reader in the world, I do love a good excuse to sit and read all day long.
ReplyDeleteSo I am definitely doing this. Here is my post about my goals:
