Count down clock This is new and I'm hoping to ensures we all start at the same time!! I'll create a "stop" clock as well
Okay guys, this is the part I'm really bad at: figuring out when everyone should startSO, instead of listing times when everyone should start, I will update POST #2 with a countdown clock - so we all start at the same time!
I'm in!
I'm totally in! :)
I'm in too. Been too long since I've done one of these.
Count me in! I love the idea of a countdown clock! :o)
I'm in! Hopefully this will help with my reading slump.
Yay! I'm really excited! Maybe this will help me reach my goal this year. I am definitely in :)
I am in! Love the clock countdown idea, Trisha. It's a lot less work and MUCH easier!
I can't wait for this read a thon. Sign me up please.
Alright, I've started a countdown clock! it's new so I'm hoping this pulls us all into the same start time, no matter where you are!(I'm hoping I did this right! If anyone sees an error, please let me know! :D)
I will make a Countdown clock as well so we all stop at the same time :)
Countdown clock
I love the clock!! Will it also have a countdown for when we will stop reading? It's so cute!!Thank you for setting up this read-a-thon!!
Yes, once we get rolling (and this countdown goes to Zero)I'll make a new one that counts us down to STOP
Yeah, lol, I'm SO SO bad at figuring out when everyone needed to start - I just could not wrap my brain around whether I subtracted hours or days or whatnot.
Fingers crossed this works easier :)
I'm sure it will work well for everyone and I think it's a brilliant idea that will save you a lot of unnecessary and valuable time!
I'm totally in.... i'm on vaction at the beach for one more week and am trying my best to get some books read from the HUGE pile I have built up.. lol. I love seeing what everyone is reading.. :)
I'm definitely in! I'll be working but I'll try to get as much reading done as possible.
I definitely want to try this so I' m in.
I'm so in! I just got back home from a week of classes and I'm so ready for this!
woohoo!!! Almost time to start!!

absolutely jump in any time Sabrina! Welcome :)
can I still join or is it too late. Been reading all day but just saw the readathon now
Is it too late to join yet? I would love to join!
Jump right in Meagan! Welcome :)
I've created a Count Down clock so we can all continue reading and count the pages/points/books read up until the last minute :)and we can all stop at the same time.
Crazy for YA Read-a-thon #8 End Countdown timer
Start Date: June 19th End Date: June 25th
We will have the optional point system again. This is a way to add some competitiveness into our readathons (we all love that!) and a way to push ourselves to read more!
Our point system will look like this:
Pages:
450+ : 5pt
300+ : 4pt
200+ : 3pt
100+ : 2pt
Under 100 : 1pt
Sequel: 4pt
First In Series: 3pt
Standalone: 2pt
Prequels & Manga: 1 pt
*Everyone will start at the same time. Since I am in EST time I will start at midnight.
