Read-a-thon Updates

Update #1:





Kare:
Uh don't laugh but I fell asleep so my numbers are totally bogus! I am not even going to tell you, it's THAT bad. :P Oh well here's to hoping I don't fall asleep again. Also I changed books like three times. I gave up on Sleepless (oh the Irony) and picked up a book called Wild Orchid. After falling asleep in it I have now decided to read Winter Girls by Laurie Halse Anderson. 


Dallin:
Number of Pages: 138
Currently Reading: Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti 
Number of Books Finished: None


Mini Challenge:


Favorite Book to Movie:
Harry Potter (well duh!)


Least Favorite:
Percy Jackson (I mean really did they get anything right? Oh yeah the title :P)



Update #2:

I totally want this shirt!!

Kare:
So I started Wintergirls and I got into it 41 pages. My total pages read is: 53. I have yet to finish a book. 

Dallin:
He is not currently reading anything as far as I know. He has finished Something like Fate bringing his total word count to 267. 

Mini Challenge:
Wordle Epic Book Nerd style




Update #3:



Kare:
I am still on Wintergirls and I love it! I am on page 90 now, so that shoots me up 49 pages bringing me to a grand total of 102. 


Dallin:
He has yet to pick up another book. BUT He says he is on the last level of Halo. Whatever that means :P


Mini Challenge:



Shaman aimed the laser, with precision. She always hit her mark. In the first few tests it had been random pieces of fruit. They started larger ones, watermelon, and ended with the smallest, limes. She had perfect scores across the board. She would win, until her eyes met the next target. Her heart dropped. It felt like someone squeezed lime juice in her eye.


It was a goat. She knew what she had to do; she hated what the results would be. The laser flew. It missed the goat by a mere 1/2 inch. She never missed a mark. 

Update #4

Yum! I just want to eat them!! 
Kare:
I am now on page 121. That brings my grand total to 133. I am still on Wintergirls but I am enjoying it so I don't care!!


Dallin: 
MIA. He went camping and won't be back till tomorrow. Oh poo I hope this gives me time to pass him!! *laughs evily* 


Mini Challenge:
Book Puzzle




Update #5
this kid is going places...

Kare:
I am now on page 129.  I know not very far but I plan to use the next few hours to catch up. That makes my grand total 141 pages. Still reading Wintergirls. 


Dallin:
Probably roasting marshmallows, he send his regards for not being here. 


Mini Challenge: My sentence of bookish proportions. 


Anna and the French Kiss Ditched Lola and the Boy Next Door. 


Books:








just sayin,

  1. I'm reading Wintergirls too!!! I haven't even been able to start anything yet because of my job. I'm nannying and I had to do choese and drive the kids around first. But I finally have free time now!!! Haha. :)

  2. book, books, read, like .. great that those words are highlighted in your Wordle! I tried really hard to pick books that I would want to read through for the read-a-thon; a 'bleh' book just won't keep interest going. I hope you like Winter Girls much better - it seems that a lot of people do! (Oh, and your blog background reminds me that I need to hurry up and buy "Across the Universe"!) :) Good luck in the readathon!

  4. Hmmm. Could the mystery picture book title be Winter Girls? I thought it was a pretty good book.

    BTW, I am totally loving all the dinosaurs. Too awesome. I'm with you about that t-shirt. Now I want one too. Seriously wishing I had one of those cookies too. :-(

  5. Ummm can I just say that I LOVE DINOSAURS TOO!!!!! Seriously, I am obsessed. Some of my family thinks I'm crazy. Hehe. I almost bought that shirt! And now I want it again... REALLY BAD. I think I didn't buy it because my mom said "You can make that!" Uhhh yeah I am so buying it now. If I make it it just wouldn't be as cool. And those cookies? Ummm yes. I was at a store the other day and they had cookie cutters for a buck each. I really wanted to buy a set of dinosaurs. But I didn't. Yeah I'm crazy. :P Anyway that was totally non sequitor to the actual read-a-thon but I just had to share the dino love. haha. :)
