Questions
For the readathon starting next week, can you read any type of books? Or can you only read young adult books. Thanks for answering my questions, I really appreciate it.
Linsey, Jacquelyn answered that question in the previous post. You can read anything you want. :)
Thanks for answering my questions. Sorry for posting my questions twice. I didn't know that you replied back until I figured out on here that you can search through the newest questions first on top of this discussion board.
no worries, Linsey! Yay! Congrats on joining your first Read-a-thon! I hope you like it!

I just thought of a another question for readathon coming up. If the book is a second book in a series how do you know how much points to put down?
That should count as a sequel, Linsey.

Vicki wrote: "Do audio books count?"Yeah!
How do we officially determine whether a book is a prequel? Are all the "books" labeled 2.5 or .04 considered a prequel?
Vicki wrote: "How do we officially determine whether a book is a prequel? Are all the "books" labeled 2.5 or .04 considered a prequel?"Yes, that's what I consider prequels! If you're not sure about a specific book, just ask. :)
Ha ha! You're so cute! You already KNOW I will! AND I'm sure you remember that my past postings are indicative of confusion/misunderstanding/stupidity (on MY part)!!! So, I know you and Trisha and Gis will check on me. And I love you all for it and for keeping me on my toes! LOLThanks, Jacque!
BTW I hope you are enjoying your new Kindle!
LOL, no problem!! I sure am. :) It's great, I love it!
Hey Everyone,How do you add books to your post? Someone told me on here how to do it, but when I tried to add the books to my post it just listed a bunch of numbers and the name of the book.

When you click on add book/author if you want the cover you have to go to the bottom and click cover as it automatically chooses link.

I clicked on cover of the book but it is still is giving the link.

I still can't get it too work. I have it clicked on cover before I add the book.

I could just be a bad link. Try another book and see if it works.

I will try a different book to see if I can get it too work. Thanks for answering my questions. I really appreciate it.

I don't understand what he problem is then. What books are you trying to add?
I was trying to add divergent by Suzanne Collins because that is the book I am going to read next.
Linsey wrote: "I was trying to add divergent by Suzanne Collins because that is book I am going to read next."You mean Divergent by Veronica Roth?
And this edition?
O.O! I think I might have found your problem! Have you hit post after 'posting' your book? Because the cover won't turn up until you hit 'post'.
Bookbuyer wrote: "O.O! I think I might have found your problem! Have you hit post after 'posting' your book? Because the cover won't turn up until you hit 'post'."I will try that and see. I don't remember if I hit post or not.

It worked. Thank you so much for helping me.

Is there a reason why the Claim Your Points thread is still frozen? I thought the readathon started...Unless I'm confused...

Nope! It starts at 12 AM EST on August 10th.

It says differently on the sign-ups, so that's why I was confused
It said that "Central Time: Starts at 11 PM on August 8th"
I'm confused as well, it said for me to start 4am on the 9th, which was 14 hours ago. Were we not all starting at the same time, no matter what the time was where we are?
Book Kitty, we all start at the same moment (if you will). The times are off, I believe, but it's just a mistake. I'm sure the mods will fix it.I live in PST, so I will start Aug. 9 at 9:00. If you live in EST you'd also start on August 9 at midnight (approaching Aug. 10). So in my time zone I'll start at 9:00 tonight and EST people will start at midnight (3 hours later than me), but in essence we will be starting together. So it's almost 11:00 AM here. I'll be starting in about 10 hours (and 15 minutes). Does that make sense?
If that's not right, Jacque will correct me. LOL
So two 4am starts in a row for me, better make sure I have some coffee in!
Haha! Yes! Coffee and maybe some crunchy snacks! I can't stay up all night because I get up at 6:00 to go to work. But I have stayed up until 4:00 for marathons on work nights before. Lol But tomorrow is only my students' 3rd day back to school, so I'll probably not stay up past 2:00, if that.
Hopefully I'll have as good a start on take two, and in the meantime I read a lot today, can't really complain about that
Happy reading! Good luck to you and me and everyone else! Lol

I got confused too cause on the sign up sheet it was having people start on the 8th/9th but really we are starting on the 9th/10th

Oof! Sorry, guys. Yeah, I think we mixed up the dates. So sorry if it messed anyone up but the sign up thread has been updated and corrected!
All good. My niece was over last night and I was unable to read so I was going to start now until I noticed you said it started tonight. So now it's a nap and dinner and than reading.
Okay, I am reading a book and I just finished it and put it on my list. Does it count that I was reading it before the read-a-thon started
Could we possibly have a temporary reading sprint thread for us read-a-thoner's?
Great idea, but I think they've both gone to bed.
Vicki wrote: "Great idea, but I think they've both gone to bed."We could use the chat thread for now if enough people see this. I have to go to bed soon though so hopefully people gather quickly.
Can we get any points for finishing a book that we started before the readathon?
