Krysta (krystafig) | 4089 comments 2015 PA&N Read-a-Thon
Duration: 12:00am, Sunday October 4th, 2015 - 11:59pm, Saturday October 10th, 2015


It's that time again!

As usual, this Read-a-Thon will take place during the first full week of October.
We'll start at the stroke of 12:00am (midnight) on Sunday, October 4th, 2015 until the last second of 11:59pm (just before midnight) on Saturday, October 10th, 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!

i'm doing great, read so far 6 books , I'm right now reading Deadly Inheritance by Brian Parkin Deadly Inheritance, its going ok but there's some sentences that don't make any sense at all, so I'm going to finish it but I don't think I'm going to pick up book 2 even if I do have it,


message 12: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth finished reading Deadly Inheritance last list give it a 2 star rating because there was too many sentences that didn't make any sense ,with that said will not be picking up any more of the series at all . Right now reading Qualify (The Atlantis Grail, #1) by Vera Nazarian Qualify and I'm 22% in it,just found out that this book is like 600 pages, and has 54 chapters , it doesn't brother me ,because I actually like the huge page books.
