Krysta (krystafig) | 4089 comments 2015 PA&N Read-a-Thon
Duration: 12:00am, Sunday August 2nd, 2015 - 11:59pm, Saturday August 8th, 2015


It's that time again!

You've probably noticed the pattern by now; this Read-a-Thon will take place during the first full week of August.
We'll start at the stroke of 12:00am (midnight) on Sunday, August 2nd, 2015 until the last second of 11:59pm (just before midnight) on Saturday, August 8th, 2015.

You may set goals for yourself to achieve, or simply log hours/pages/books/etc if you wish.
The choice is yours.
The main goal of this is to push yourself to read more than you normally would.

Grab your books and let's get reading!

message 11: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth So I just finished Reckless Nights in Rome by C.C. MacKenzie and I'm almost done with Jaws by Peter Benchley ,hopefully nothing happens to day and I can finish it. If you want to know what I thought it so far just hit the book.


message 12: by Elizabeth (new)

message 14: by Biate (new)

Biate I need to read about a 100 more pages to read more than I did in July. There is about 6 hours to go so I can probably do it if I can just make up my mind what to read next.


message 15: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth don't think I'll be reading any more today since this is the day my Dad passed way back in 8/8/10


message 16: by Myst (new)

Myst | 108 comments I didn't note down the date of my pg locations (got 2 weeks worth) so I don't actually know how many locations I got, but since I'm on track (or ahead) of my daily goal in DQ and Dr. M, I'm going to say I hit my target for the challenge.

I won't be able to finish Dragonbane though. Relatives from out of town had to stay an extra day which ate into my reading time.


message 17: by Biate (new)

Biate Yay, I read 324 more pages.

Elizabeth I get how hard a day like this is even years later. My you be surrounded by love and hope to carry you through this day. xx
