  3. I love these Readathons!! You and Vivian are wonderful hosts!!

    My Plan:
    Friday-Read Cursed, Shadows and Obsidian.
    Saturday-Read Onyx,Opal,Daimon and Start Half-Blood.
    Sunday- Finish Half-Blood and Read Pure, Deity and Elixir.
    If I have time Sunday I will also read Tempting the Best Man and Tempting the Player. They weren't originally on my list and aren't priority as they are adult books (not an adult yet, but I have my parents permission to read them if I get the time).

    I will DEFINITELY be at the twitter party!! Also I will be taking part in every awesome challenge :D

    I am going to have so much fun and the prizes are to die for, thanks so much for making this all international!!

    Also I am going to make sure I am wearing my Deity T-Shirt when reading Deity ;) gotta show my pride!!!

    Great job both Val and Vivian!

  6. Dude! I suck and I don't think I am going to be doing the readathon now. I want to try to get some of my Jan review books read so I really need to be reading those. :( I will try to be at the twitter party, but I am not sure since I will be getting the kiddo ready for bed. Good luck to everyone!!! I hope you all get a lot of JLA reading in. :)

  11. YAY! Another read-a-thon! Excited! I'm going to participate as much as possible! ;Km stopping in the middle of other books, lol, but that's ok!
    I'm going to read for sure Tempting The Player and Onyx. Amazon updated my copy of Onyx, so all my notes and highlights are gone! I've got to fix that, so re-read! I'm a slow reader and I have work our School Day Out program, so I'm thinking that's all I will get done and those 2 are my goal!
    I'm going to try the twitter party, but I'll be on mobile and may not keep up well lol. Laptops are still down! Also, going to try the challenges! Everyone have fun & good luck!

  21. I've never been as thankful as I am now that I'm in the middle of my summer holidays and have 'nothing' to do all day but read these spectacular novels.
    My plan is just to start at the beginning and see how far I get with everything, knowing that there's absolutely no possible way that I can get bored.
    Thank's for setting up this wonderful opportunity and 'excuse' to re-read these masterpieces.

  22. My plan: I plan to reRead The both Gamble Bros books 12/29 and 12/30. Then I plan to read at least books 1 & 2 of the convenant series 12/30-31. I am trying to squeeze in Obsidian and Onyx as well, because I need to reread Opal (and torture myself with that cliffhanger ending once more)!

  28. Read on 29-30: Covenant series

  29. Well, I just found this readathon since I just happened to be reading JLA books and was looking for people to discuss them with or something and stumbled on this (I'm not sure if that counts). I think I started on the 29th. The plan was to read Onyx and Opal. I'm a quarter of the way through Opal,( well actually now I am halfway through Opal, which isn't that far since it's been two days, but I didn't have a lot of time to read today or yesterday) so I read one and one forth of a book by the end of dec 30th, which I think is pretty good.
