#6 Read-a-thon: Let's Chat
I'm participating in the booktubeathon this week so I'm super excited to jump right into another readathon next week!! Will there be reading challenges for this one?
YES! there will be the point system, and a Mad Libs fun challenge and a bingo card challenge!I really hope everyone has fun!
Wow! Two readathons!? You must be really getting caught up! :)
Yay! The Mad Libs challenge sounds really cool so I'm eager to check out the bingo card challenge as well. I'm in such a reading mood right now after being in a slump for MONTHS so this is perfect timing, haha!
This is my first time doing a readathon, so I hope I do well.

What a wonderful, fun addition to this challenge. Whoever thought this one up is brilliant! I LOVE it and I think I will use it with my students this year for extra credit.
I'm participating in a lot of challenges this month so I need a read a thon to help me with those. :P
I'm glad to see you guys are all excited! I am pretty excited to read a lot that week. :)
This will be my first Readathon with the group so I'm excited to do this.

Same! ^-^
I'm basically planning on binge reading The Princess Diaries series! These Read-a-thons are great for binge reading!
Linsey and Bookbuyer, I hope your first experience doing a read-a-thon is FUN and productive!! :o)

Excited for this! :DI might not be able to read a lot of books though since school takes up my time

I think that I am THE number one confused/always messing up in the threads CRAZY reader, but everyone is always so sweet to help me out and no one has ever been rude or put me down. I love our group here...the mods are the ones that show us how to "behave" and they are all three SO awesome!

I'm in school, too...only I am the teacher. :o) So I know what you mean and your education comes first. That is truly the most important thing for you right now. Are you in college now? I see you are 18.

I might be able to take you on that. I have very poor memory in general. >.< I use Microsoft One Note to help me with my challenges and use the threads given to help me remember BR and what books I'm planning to read.

Strangely I read the most when I was in school. Sometimes as much as three books a day and they weren't always small. O.O Now I read less since I'm not as stressed.

Not yet. It's my senior year. Can't wait to finally graduate. :)

I haven't been really reading that much anymore. I used to read like all the time, but now not so much. :(

That happens to me too every once in a while. I think it's normal. The brain needs a break sometimes. ^-^

I won't battle you for the title, but I also have a horrible memory. It is what it is and I am doing all that I can now to help my brain continue to grow and not become stagnant in my OLDer age! LOL

:)
Aww, I would love to join, but I barely have any books to read as I am saving all my (new) books for my vacation in 2 weeks. :) Maybe next time I will join again.So I will just be here to chat and spread around motivation. :D
Are we starting on the 8th or 10th? I see different dates.
Jess wrote: "Are we starting on the 8th or 10th? I see different dates."It depends on what timezone you're in. There are some who are starting on the 8th because they are farther ahead then the rest. I think some are even starting on the 11th because they are farther behind? Sorry, I always get confused with which is which. -.-

OK, than you. Just making sure I start on the right day.

If you look on the sign up page farther down one of the mods posted when everyone is suppose to start depending on their timezone.
It's been some time since I did a read-a-thon in this group. Excited to get back involved.
Yay! So glad you can join us Lindsey!
Just 3 days until we start! Yikes! I need to start gathering books! LOL
Me too! I haven't decided for sure what to read and which book I will start with.
I'm in a strange day today. I don't want to start the readathon halfway through a book but finished my book last night so have a day of not reading. I dunno what to do with myself now
Trisha wrote: "Just 3 days until we start! Yikes! I need to start gathering books! LOL"Same! Hopefully I can get my hands on some graphic novels too. Just in case I start to feel slumpy!
I'm excited to do another marathon, but I am not too confident about how much I can read. School is kicking my butt! LOL Mainly just due to teaching straight from 7:30-12:30 is emotionally draining as well as physically. But if you are a good teacher (and I am LOL) it is draining. Anyway I came home wiped out the past 2 days and fell asleep, and next Saturday the 15th I am going to a concert called Worship America with my daughter and her two older kids. It'll be so fun and uplifting! But I will participate and do what I can! I'm excited for the camaraderie of that time!
no worries Vicki! Look forward to chatting when you can get here!aww, the new schedule sounds like it's off to a rough start! hang in there, it'll get better.
I've opened the Mad Libs thread but I'll be on and off here all day today and tomorrow so I'll send your info as soon as I can :)
Trisha, I believe you mentioned another challenge for this readathon a couple of days ago. Will there be a thread for that as well?
Thanks, Trisha! That is the "rough" part of my day, but I also have a 30 minute lunch and 90 minute prep, so no students for the last 2 hours of the day. :o) I'll get used to being back at work and not come home SO wiped out...I hope! LOL
Jessica wrote: "Trisha, I believe you mentioned another challenge for this readathon a couple of days ago. Will there be a thread for that as well?"Yes! I'm going to set up and placeholder for now and let Jacquelyn put in the new challenge :)
we are discussing possible points for them! LOL :D

Gotcha! I'm excited to see the challenge! :D
I'm so excited to start the read-a-thon. I'm so behind in booksbut NOW my kids are all packed for school, supplies bought, clothes bought
and They go back tomorrow!! :)
I'm participating! Yay! I just finished Throne of Glass (I'm rereading the series in time for Queen of Shadows).
Good luck to everyone participating. :D Have fun, and enjoy all your books!

Hurry up! I'm impatient and excited to see what it is! LOL Okay, do it at your own pace. Ha ha! I am too excited! Maybe I should call in sick all week? LOL
