jb’s comments from the 24B4Monday Readathon group.

I was able to finish MirrorMask and started The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.

Ashley - great job!

Greyson - you’ve got a good start! I hope you get more reading time in. Pesky work!

Eadie- awesome!

Hmmm I’ll have to check into that. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t. I’ll give it a look when I get home.

MAY Readathon Tracker:

SATURDAY:
Total time: 3 hours
Finished: 1 book - MirrorMask

Go Andrew Go! You can do it - or not - so long as you’re having fun. LOL

Jamie - I see one book on that shelf for you. Is that what you were asking? I do apologize that it took me so long to respond (mishap with fiance’s keys - ugh). Are you saying it’s not tracking the book on your shelf for the GR progress above?

Good job Erin! Believe me it doesn’t matter how slow you go so long as your having fun while reading. I’m glad you got some reading time in today!

Pesky work is always getting in the way of reading. At least you’ll get some in now. I was pretty lucky at my last job because I could listen to audiobooks while working.

Good job guys! I’m excited to get started in a bit. I had some chores to do first....booooo! LOL

Good job Jenny!

I’m not a morning person either Kristina. I need time to adjust to being ripped out of my nice comfy bed. 😂

How is everyone coming along? I must say all of your trackers and ideas to track reads are pretty cool. I love spreadsheets, and miss having my computer with excel. Great ideas!

Good luck everyone! And remember have FUN!

Thanks Erin! Good to know. Now I just need to track down my book.

Currently these are my goals, but they could change depending on what reading I get in today:

100 One-Night Reads: A Book Lover's Guide (library ebook need to finish)
Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany (library ebook need to finish)
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader (library ebook)
The Catcher in the Rye (banned book forever on my TBR)
Women Rowing North: Navigating Life’s Currents and Flourishing As We Age (library book)

I would like to get in 24 hours total (but I always forget to time myself).

Excellent plan, Erin! ;-)

I don't have a specific time goal either. Be..."

Glad to have you aboard!

I always seem to over plan my reading goals as well. Those are some lofty goals, but you are going to do great! Good luck!

That’s sounds like an interesting book. You’ll have to keep us posted on how it’s going.

Jenny wrote: "I'm going to work on No Way and War and Peace, and possibly read a volume or two of Akame Ga Kill. Maybe 6 hours, depending on how things go."

Good goals! How far are you into War and Peace? I’m currently working on Moby Dick and I’d say I’m 75% through that.

Janie is correct. The readathon is this weekend. Feel free to read at your own pace. This is about reading and having fun. Banned books is the theme, but it is not mandatory.

Yep Kristina is right. You can make a specific shelf for your monthly readathon if you wish. Thanks for answering Kristina!
