Ok, it is that time!.How is everyone doing with thier book goal?

Started The Girl of Fire and Thorns last night and am listening to Fuzzy Nation :0)

I'm halfway through A Court Of Mist and Fury. Its amazing so far.

Started The Woman in Blue late last night. Ready to dive in again with my morning coffee.

I am getting ready to start Water Song. Of course, I am sick so I may just sleep too haha

Since midnight...

1) Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert: 2 chapters
2) Silks by Dick Francis: 2 chapters

I've started reading an oldie - Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis

still stuck on the 1 st book city of bones its a long book

I'm 200 pages (38%) into For the King's Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick. I thought it was going to be way more dense but I'm flying through it!

Oh no, Jenny! I hope you're not too sick to read. That's the worst.

I'm reading divine justice, the hidden order...and under fire

I'm reading the third Tracy Crosswhite book by Robert Dugoni. Kindle Unlimited.

I've started with 2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake. It's a short, 93 pages, but not sure how much reading I'll get in today.

I've finished reading A Court Of Mist Of Fury By Sarah J Mass. Amazing!

Soraya wrote: "I've finished reading A Court Of Mist Of Fury By Sarah J Mass. Amazing!"

Nicely done Soraya!
I've just finished The Girl of Fire and Thorns, which was pretty good and an easy read. Pondering whether to get the second in the series or start something else altogether.

@Jenny - hope you are not feeling too unwell

I was feeling quite unwell today so had to rest, but managed to read Fashion in the Time of Jane Austen tonight. It's short and informative, a good start!

68% through the crown and 51% through book of lies

I finished reading Matter (which I was most of the way through and intended to finish yesterday); and got 63% of the way through The State of the Art.
So I'm doing well on my target of finishing one book per day (on average).

I'm making good progress on The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford, and I'll crack on with War and Peace on my commute to work on the bus tomorrow at 7.05am.

Lots of progress for everyone! Camile I hope you feel better soon. Allison and Veronique, thanks! I am feeling a bit better, they gave me antibiotics and this is day two of them, so they are working!

Finished The Woman in Blue - love this series. Hope everyone is enjoying their reading (and feeling better soon)!

Well, day one is over almost and I have yet to read...or post my mini-aspirations:

****Edited as event progresses to note what finished with strikeout.****

Woo hoo Margie! Book one done! Bookworm, very detailed plan. I like it!
Finished Water Song so far!

Approximately 200 pages down, 400+ to go. The end is nigh-ish.

Alright Meg!!

Done book 2/4 Jenni James The Frog Prince. It was a short sweet little read.

Started The Crown of Embers (invested in the story already). I like the unusual heroine and all the political intrigues and chess moves.

That's one detailed plan Plethora :O)

Camille - hope you feel better today.

Margie - Never heard of the Ruth Galloway series. Since I do like my mysteries, I shall have a look

Meg - oh another great looking series I didn't know!

Soraya - I really need to give the first Court of Thorns and Roses another go. I tried it a few months back and although I liked the beginning, it kind of fizzled and I put it on the side and never picked it back up...

Allison - I don't read enough historical fiction so making note of this one to be checked :O)

Sonia - I did enjoy Mitford's book too. Hope the commute went well with W&P. Haven't read this one yet although very tempted

It's kind of nice to think there's all of us, spread out in the world, intent on snatching any moment to read :O) Have a good day

I'm half way through Bloodline! I'm reading a bit slower than I'd like, but my busy weekend is done so I now have more free time to sit and read!

I am reading LORD OF FIRE. I'm about 35% in. After that I'm going to hit CLASH OF WORLDS.

I read a snails broken shell yesterday and will finish persepolis today and maybe start reading another book if i have time at work.

I finished The Crown by Kiera Cass, and gave 49% of Book Of Lies by Teri Terry left to read.

I started reading Devine Comedy. I'm about 15% of the way done.

Hahaha Spring cleaning i just got this message and its 10:22pm on the 31st of May tomorrow is the first day of winter here but what the heck i will join you for some spring cleaning starting in the morning :)

My progress so far -

Missing Pieces 32% > 48% = 46ish pages
The Return of the Soldier COMPLETED = 82 pages

First book down! Now debating what to read next!

Finished my first book for my first readathon! Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. I'm so excited that I finally can check this one off my bookshelf!! Now on to the next one...

Hi everyone. I forgot when the read-a-thon was but glad I got the PM to remind me. :-)

I actually finished one of my books The Boss by Lexy Timms. I had about 70 pages left to it. I have another 3 books that I'd like to finish today but I'll see how it goes.

Just finished Scarlet, book two in the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Really pleased I got it read in the time I did and I've been meaning to read it for ages. Great series. 1/5 read. My next book is an ebook called Unhappenings by Edward Aubrey. Aiming to finish by tomorrow. Happy reading everybody!

Just finished

forgot this was going on! my goal is just to finish the two books i'm currently reading.

i'm also reading the lunar chronicles atm, currently working my way through Cress.

Ah! Fortunately I remembered to see that we are in readathon mode!

I think I finished 150 pages yesterday in American Gods (rough estimate), finishing that book.

And then I'm at about 260 pages in Salt to the Sea today.

Gillian, winter cleaning for you then :) Must be in the southern hemisphere! Congrats everyone, excelent progress!

Yes, I go with the odd detailed approach because I can feel like I accomplished something at the end of the day by having somethings to cross off. If I wait to cross off an entire book I might not get that feeling of accomplishment at all during an event. As today, for example, I read from two different books. So while it looks like crazy intense planning it really is just a quick method to make it look like I've accomplished something. I tend to break the book up into 30-50 page chunks depending on how the chapters fall and what I think the week will allow me for reading blocks.

I'm able to mark 3 tasks from my list, see Message 22, before I head to bed this evening.

I can see how it works for you, and how it would for many people Bookworm! And great, 2 down in one day!

Somehow I managed to finish another book last night: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (ironically, I wrote about him in one of my last essays...).

So that's two books down, and hoping to get another two or so done!

Everyone seems to be doing so well!

Finished yesterday: French Lessons: Adventures with Knife, Fork, and Corkscrew by Peter Mayle which I had previously started but never finished.

Also finished an old classic: Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis.

Today starting on: The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz - it will be interesting to see how the writing style changes.

Sam, that's insane progress!

What did you think of Out of the Silent Planet? I've been considering delving into C.S. Lewis' science fiction for a while, but have always been slightly hesitant!

finished Cress yesterday, gonna work on Six of Crows next. excited to see everyone's progress! + lots of great books getting mentioned here.

did you like annihilation? it's not for everyone but i really enjoyed it. (i almost wish it was a stand-alone, tho -- the sequel's very different, didn't quite work for me.)

Second book finished this morning The Crown of Embers, and more than half way through Fuzzy Nation.

Now I really want to finish the series (The Bitter Kingdom) but I also want to start Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe AAAHHHH

That's a good idea. You are able to see more progress being made. It looks too time-consuming for me to do, since it would initially take away from reading time.
