75 Books...More or Less! discussion

Looks like our Readathon will be next weekend, Nov 7-9! Gotta start preparing, though it is my birthday weekend so I don't know what the hubby has planned. ;)

I've been stuck on this one book all week, so definitely looking forward to a read-a-thon to spur me on!

I'm game for it. Looks like a good weekend for me.

Elyse, Happy Birthday wishes to you!

I really need this read-a-thon to give me a boost. It's been that crazy kind of busy that leaves no time for anything but sleep at the end of the day...

OK, I'm in too. Happy Reading!

Thank you, Annie! :) My goals are to finish The Siege of Macindaw, book 6 in Ranger's Apprentice series and Grave Mercy, book 1 in His Fair Assassin series, and hopefully get halfway through Erak's Ransom, the 7th book in Ranger's Apprentice series. Good luck all!

Well, I finally finished The Hunt for Red October after slogging through it all week. I can only hope the movie is better than the book. There's a good story in there, but all the political/military nitty-gritty detail did nothing for me.

So... clean slate! Next up is a re-read of The Venetian Betrayal, and then hopefully I can get started on, if not finish, a TBD book after that.

I'm a big fan of the Cotton Malone series, and Steve Berry in general, though I haven't ready any in a few years. I don't think I've read this one yet.

I'm just now beginning my Readathon. Went out for dinner and Interstellar last night. Watched Edge of Tomorrow and cleaned this morning. Now I can get cozy by the fire and read!

I didn't read very much last night, but today I blitzed through The Venetian Betrayal (the pages go by faster when it's a re-read).

I think tomorrow I'm going to pick up Until You're Mine.

I finished The Siege of Macindaw but that's all I achieved. I barely read any of Grave Mercy! Ah well. How did everyone else do?

I actually DNF'd Until You're Mine after starting chapter two and realizing it was going to be one of those books that alternates 1st-person perspective without actually letting you know which character's narrating...

So instead I read the first third or so of The Wicked Girls. Overall a very productive read-a-thon. I really needed a kick-start.

The Wicked Girls sounds really interesting. Can't wait for your thoughts on it!

During the RAT I worked on Too Close to Home and managed to read 304 pages.

Only managed to get in about 100 pages this weekend. Unexpected errands got in the way of my reading time.

I finished Gone Girl FINALLY!

I have lots of free time to read this coming weekend. Anyone interested in doing a spur of the moment readathon?

I'll join in! It would help me catch up a bit more.

Great!

I probably won't read as much as I did last weekend, but I'm always up for a little extra push.

And then there were three! I will set up a thread :)
