Readathon!OK ...
Readathon!
OK so these never really happened on the CB and I haven't been active recently, but if anyone wanted to join me in a readathon starting 8:30 PST, I'm ready!
A readathon is where one tries to read an obnoxious amount IN A small amount of time. Sleep is optional but recommended.

I get scared easily as well. I read This Savage Song at night... Not a good idea.
Thanks for the recommendation!

To clarify for the 1000 words:
Whenever you hit midnight tonight, begin reading. We are reading through the day of Friday and ending at 12:00 (midnight) Saturday morning.

Coolio! I'm in!
(July 27, 2017 - 12:45 pm)
Yay!

Oh, wait, a thousand words? I thought it was a thousand pages. Would you mind terribly if I aimed for that?
(July 27, 2017 - 4:26 pm)
Ahh sorry I meant 1000 pages. I'm aiming for 1000 pages myself anyway.

My TBR for the 1000 pages:
The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson(519 pages)
Caraval by Stephanie Garber(402 pages)
Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz and Kat Helgeson (287 pages)

So excited!

Totally doing this. I have about two hours to midnight. Honestly I think this will be a good opportunity for me to finish all those books I have started but never finished.
(July 27, 2017 - 9:00 pm)
Yay! It's going to be awesome.
(July 27, 2017 - 10:06 pm)
So it just hit midnight for me (YAY) and I am on page 294 of Saint Anything. I'm adding that to my TBR.
I'm excited for 1000 pages!
Have fun! I'm going to bed.

I finished Saint Anything at 12:46. It was definitely my favorite Sarah Dessen novel. I also got 56 pages into Caracal before falling asleep(or being told to sleep by parental units).
Pages Read: 181

Alrighty, I didn't stay up last night, so anywho. . . I'm starting on page 230 of Girl in Pieces, I'm going to read Burn, Steampunk: An anthology, and Write This Down
Total: 1190 pages

Those sound interesting. What are they about?
(July 28, 2017 - 7:16 pm)
It is 4:00 EST and I just finished Caraval. The beginning was super slow but the end was great.
