Exactly, Barb! I wanted to spend yesterday and today working on this but my head had other plans yesterday so now I'm a day behind on all of my chores and creative plans, boo hoo.

Hello A-team!

Time to talk about March's Read-a-Thon.

As I said before, we'll change some things. And, since we really like to improve participation, I'm going to put to vote the week and starting date.

You may choose from:

1)March 8th PST 8:00 AM (GMT 4PM) to March 15th 8:00 AM (GMT 4 PM)
2)March 11th PST 8:00 AM (GMT 4PM) to March 18th 8:00 AM (GMT 4 PM)
3)March 15th PST 8:00 AM (GMT 4PM) to March 22th 8:00 AM (GMT 4 PM)
4)March 18th PST 8:00 AM (GMT 4PM) to March 25th 8:00 AM (GMT 4 PM)

Basically is choose between starting on a Friday or a Monday, and between second or third week.

I'll post the March RaT rules in a day or two, so you'll have a better ground to pick your vote.

The RaT week and starting date vote ends February 27th.

Happy Readings.

I'm in again! I had a blast insisting my children leave me alone to read ;)

[Amy]

I'll join this time :). I'm not going to set myself a goal, though. I'm just going to read as much as possibe. I don't mind when we do it :).

[Sonia]

OK Susan and Amy, I'll add you.

[Mary]

*waves* Hi, everyone! I just wanted to apologize for being away for so long! I have some health issues that have been particularly nasty lately and I've been feeling pretty under the weather. Thank goodness for audiobooks! And thank goodness for Sonia, the best co-captain in the world!

Hope everyone has a good weekend filled with lots of reading! :-D

@ Sonia
Grab Shadowfever...

[Gayle]

Finished last night. Started . Very odd coincidence that both books start out with someone being burned at the pillory.

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Put me down for Option 2 on the RaT! That's spring break here but we'll see how it goes with my work schedule and possibly some family coming to visit.

[[deleted user]]

I will join again, but I will not be adding a set goal to how many I will read. I will just read as much as I can and I don't care when the RaT goes on. :)

[Stephanie]

I am in for the readathon.

In the meantime I am working my way through and another book will be added to the list tomorrow when a group challenge I am doing gets to move forward.

[Sonia]

Hello A-team

Teresa, Nancy and Stephanie I added you to the participants list, and Teresa, got your vote too.

I'm going to finish my 17th book for the challenge today. No Mary, it isn't Shadowfever yet.

[Mandy]

I vote for option #1, but I will participate no matter what - I loved our first RaT!

That IS odd!

[Mandy]

Chugging along - the book I'm currently reading is one of the longer ones - 540 pgs., but it is the third in a fantasy series I love, so it won't feel that long as I read it.

[Sashana]

I haven't been reading much but I just finished . Prior to reading this book I was disappointed to hear that Cinder would have to share her storyline. I actually LOVED the dynamic that Scarlet added to the story. I also loved reading about Wolf. Yum!

[Sashana]

Can the details for this readathon be posted in Message #2? It's easier to follow the updates that way.

I'd love to sign up for this one too!

[Sonia]

Sure, I'll ask the mods to do it as soon as we have an official start date.

[Lisa Kay]

☺

[Sashana]

Thank you :)

[Lisa Kay]

Have you looked at who is a moderator lately, Sashana?

[Sashana]

I have not. Will do so right now!

[Sashana]

Ohhh I see! Lovely team of mods :)

Congrats, ladies!

[Alexa]

I'd like to participate in this readathon too!! Might have to set a higher goal this time though, I think I exceeded the first one :)

And I honestly don't mind when we should have it.. so I'm just going to go with choice #2.

[Sonia]

Added you Alexa, Sashana & Mandy

I'm only list the participants on the oficial RaT post, when the week voting is closed, ok? But don't worry, I got all the participants, I think. If I forget anyone, just say so and I'll add you, OK?

[Diane L]

I'd like to participate this time. I have no preference for RaT dates.

[Anni]

I'm in for the readathon as well! All dates work out as well for me.

Did you like Anna Dressed in Blood? I thought it was unique -- the sequel is pretty good as well!

[Alexa]

Stephanie wrote: "Still working on and starting "

Let me know what you think of The Golden Lily!! I think what's keeping me from not reading it is Sydney and Adrian :( it breaks my heart LOL, Rose and Adrian were meant to be...(clearly not) but I always start liking characters together that don't even end up together. Sucks!

I've finished and I'm halfway through

[Sonia]
