Krysta (krystafig) | 4089 comments 2015 PA&N Read-a-Thon
Duration: 12:00am, Sunday September 6th, 2015 - 11:59pm, Saturday September 12th, 2015


It's that time again!

As usual, this Read-a-Thon will take place during the first full week of September.
We'll start at the stroke of 12:00am (midnight) on Sunday, September 6th, 2015 until the last second of 11:59pm (just before midnight) on Saturday, September 12th, 2015.

You may set goals for yourself to achieve, or simply log to see how many hours/pages/books/etc you were able to finish.
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!

Myst | 108 comments I'm hoping to get through:
Dark Ghost (Dark, #28) by Christine Feehan , Undead and Unfinished (Undead, #9) by MaryJanice Davidson , Undead and Undermined (Undead, #10) by MaryJanice Davidson

I want to make some progress on:
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

Depending what I (don't) finish this week I may add more.

Edit: I finished Dark Ghost, I got some progress on The Moonstone, decided to work on Loyalty in Death instead of the MJD books since it's due earlier. I probably won't finish it before tonight though. Had too much going on this week due to family in town and someone needing assistance.

Wow, I was zoned out...read a thon starts today not last week.

Ok in that case...

Loyalty in Death
Witness in Death
Blood Debt
Blood Bank


Make more progress on The Moonstone

message 9: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Didn't read at on day two but on this day I did finish Darkness of Light (Darkness, #1) by Stacey Marie Brown give it 3 stars,but I'm loving Dracula by Bram Stoker its been a long while since I've either read it or seen the 1931 black and white movie.As for Her Rebel Heart (A romance of the English Civil War) by Alison Stuart ,I'm so far liking it, but it's kind a hard to count pages you've read because it shows the % of the book instead of what page your on.does anyone else think it's funny that some kindle books show the actual page numbers and others don't


message 10: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth I'm on page 90 of 315 of Dracula by Bram Stoker : So yesterday I didn't read any at all ,so disappointed in that but what could I do it's been so hot the last 2 days that even when I was inside it was impossible to read, plus the hot weather bought on a migraine headache , put that with a bouncey pouncey border collie mix almost 1 year old puppy and you can get how miserable I was. Because Spooky thinks when ever I'm on the couch it's play time.so glad it's cool right now. Can't decide if I want to go head and watch the original 1931 black and white movie Dracula or site and watch in October for Halloween.

Maria | 8 comments Whoops. I didn't even realize that there was a read-a-thon going on until I saw this thread a moment ago. I would have been reading more if I had seen this earlier. Oh well, may as well post what I've read this last week anyways. :)

I hope your dad is doing well, I'm sorry to hear about his stroke.
There's always next month to join in on the Read-a-Thon.

I don't know about Shannon, but I use the timer on my phone to track how long I have read.
