Last time I got in the chat room towards the end...took me forever to figure it out. LOL But it was fun.
Good luck everyone who is going to participate. :)
I can imagine. One reason why I didn't sign up (I am in CEST and would have to get up at 6am) Though I can't imagine it is 4am, since you are in the UK (which with daylight saving time is GMT+1), so it would be 5am. :)
True, very true. :) Even for books I wouldn't get up at 6am or 5am.

Little less than 5 hours until start! :)What will everyone be reading when we begin?
(off for a nap!!! :D Talk to you guys soon! I can't wait!)
I started off with a Goosebumps last time! I will be continuing Heist Society which is my movie book this week. Have about 200 pages left so hope to finish it early on.
I think I am off for a nap as well!! So excited!
Great, J. See you soon. I'm off too.
:D see you later!
I most likely will not get a nap in (drink a large Starbucks with an added shot of espresso) because I'm trying to write my lesson plans for my course work. They are due at midnight.
I need to finish
but I think I will start off with either
or
Getting excited!!!
(Hope everyone enjoys their nap)

I won't either Lindsey because I have to supervise our football game tonight until about 9:30 or 9:45 PM. So we'll see how long I can keep up the readathon. LOL

Well have fun at the football game,it's a nice night. I too wonder how long I will stay up. I'm getting as much coffee ready as I can. I have some in the fridge for later.

Lol coffee doesn't work for me, and for some reason I woke up at 4:00 this morning and have been up since. Lol It'll be fun to see what happens. Which time zone are you?
Well my nap didn't go so well. I never take naps! :( I guess I will just take small naps during the readathon! :DSo excited! Vicki, what book will you be reading for the start?

I live on Coffee. I'm sorry you got up at 4, I tired to sleep late so that's helping me.
I live in California! So Pacific time zone! You?

I think I might do something to relax before the start time....I'm thinking of a bath followed my really comfy clothes.

Lindsey, when you said you live on Coffee I got SO EXCITED for a minute because Coffee Rd. is a nearby street. I also live in CA, about 15 miles from Stockton. I'm in Manteca. Do you know it it? Where in CA are you?
I live in Orange County, the city I live in is Yorba Linda.
Awe, I used to live in Santa Ana, Glendora, Pasadena, Altadena, and La Puente...oh, and I graduated Temple City High. I have a son and his wife and their 6 kids who love in Burbank, so do I see a meeting one day soon? I've driven twice to San Diego to meet an author, Lee Fullbright. We hit it off so I went this last summer again and took one of my daughters who is also an avid reader, so she also met Lee. Talk about a wonderful human being!!

How many books and pages did you read last time?
WOW 6 kids for your son! I love big families, I always wished my parents had more (I have one older brother). But I'm making up for that through the kids I watch. I currently nanny a 2 year old girl, a 22 month old boy, and a 5 month old boy. I love it!!
A meet up would be fun. I have always wanted to get to know people on here better.
I have wanted to drive to meet authors but my life has gotten busy with college and working on becoming a teacher.

Sounds so fun on all counts!!! I have 5 "kids" and 19 grandkids: 10 boys, 9 girls. I usually only get to Burbank area during the summer, and my San Diego trip is going to be an annual thing, I'm sure. I'll contact you when I'm heading that way and hopefully it'll work out.I'm a high school English teacher. What are you studying to teach?

Jacquelyn, you know me and so you know that I can't recall what I read or how many pages, and I'm on my cell so too hard to look up. I doubt seriously I'll make it all night! I know it starts at 9:00 for me but when does it end?
Wow! You did great last time! Good luck this time around! In about an hour, I will start up the group chat on Yahoo! (:
Lindsey, you read OVER 1400 pages in how many hours??? That's AMAZING!!!

That is one big family!!
At the moment Summer would be the only time for me!
High School, nice. I'm working on getting everything that goes with becoming a special education teacher. First I'm getting my early childhood credential followed by mild/mod credential followed by mod/severe followed by a masters. So the next three years will be a lot of work for me.

It will end at 9PM on the 19th for you.
Lindsey, that's a terrific plan!! We need special Ed teachers so badly!

Lol I'll NEVER make 24 hours but I'll participate!
Vicki wrote: "Lol I'll NEVER make 24 hours but I'll participate!"I probably won't either but as long as we are having fun, that is all that counts! :D

It helped that one book had 635 pages, it was three books in one!

Last time, I didn't open up the thread to new comments until a few hours before start time but I thought to keep it open. We can talk about our progress or books we have or are planning on reading! And we can keep each other motivated! :D
