For Read-A-Thons, do you read the same book because that's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. And what books will be reading together if we do read the same book (because I only read NA or Adult).

There is no specific books you would have to read, you can read whatever you like!
Do I need to start new books for this or can I read something I have in progress already?
Yes, you can use your current reads. But once I start adding challenges in the future, then it would have to be started and finished when the read-a-thon starts. You can still use the pages you read that day if it is a current read before the read-a-thon starts in your reading list but not in the challenge.
Will there be reading prompts/challenges or should we just pick any books to read during the readathon?
For now you can ready any book you want, but I will be adding challenges in the future.
Just looking at some of the readathons and the timing on the "24" hour ones actually make them 48 hours

You're right Erika. We'll have to take a peek at that. Thanks.
I'd got a question.what if the book you pick out for the week long a thon is over like say 800 or more pages and you read just that book ,does it still count for hole week long a thon or should we just have different books for each of the week long a thon
Every page counts. It doesn't matter if you read it in a day, it takes you all week, or if you don't finish it. You count what you've read.
Ok thinks for answering my question for me
Does anyone know if we're having a week read a thon for this month and if so when
Jonel wrote: "Oops.... yup. March 8-15th"Thinks because I had fun the last time,it actually helped me cut though my TBR list for last month,but then I end up more so I could have some books to read for the rest of February,by the 28th of February I had actually read 32 books that was on my TBR.
Can i make a suggestion for future week read-a-thons not be on the 1st week of the month as #AYearAThon do theirs that week
Also just incase you didn't know. Your April 24hr read-a-thon is on the same day as the Dewey's 24hr read-a-thon
Our dates for the year are all already set. Of course, you can always count your totals towards both read-a-thons if you'd like

is everyone looking forward to our week long read a thon and do you know what your going to be reading ,last time I did this I ending up reading 6 books for the read a thon this time I'm only reading one but it has book one and two in it.
Elizabeth wrote: "is everyone looking forward to our week long read a thon and do you know what your going to be reading ,last time I did this I ending up reading 6 books for the read a thon this time I'm only read..."I'm going to read as much as I can, from whatever strikes my fancy at the time. I find that I read faster that way

When I'm trying to figure out how many pages I've read from my kindle or kobo I find the total page count from Goodreads or Amazon and the % read from my ereader and I do the math.
For example, if I've read 10% of a 365 page book, that's 36.5 pages.
I hope this helps.

I had signed up for the Saturday, July 30th, 2016, read-a-thon but I won't be able to do it. It's a work thing. How do I go about it? Do I delete my post on the read-a-thon thread?

If you've signed up for a read-a-thon and can't participate, don't worry. You can either leave your post and not enter books, or change it to say that you're no longer able to participate. If you delete the post it can changes the links that Shaunessay uses. :)
I signed up for the weekend read-a-thon but I unexpectedly had to leave for about 3 hours but I'm back and would like to still participate. Is it alright to continue. Reading again now.

when is the sign up for the spring read-a-thon?
Stephanie wrote: "when is the sign up for the spring read-a-thon?"I'll post it closer to the start time, I believe the last day for the current one is March 19th, so probably that week before hand.

Is the weeklong december readathon thread missing? I cant seem to find it :(
According to the schedule it was supposed to be on the 1st. I didn’t see anything for it either. My favorite RAT is the week long ones!
I agree with you Leane, they are my favorite RATs as well.
Karen wrote: "I agree with you Leane, they are my favorite RATs as well."Me too! Perhaps people are too busy preparing for Christmas...
With apologies to our moderators, I’ve posted a pop-up readathon for 5-9 December. Everyone welcome to join in for whatever time you can spare. Adrianna, Leane, Karen - I hope this is better than missing the whole week, please join me!
I don't want to be a pest, but will there be a week long read-a-thon? Just wondering.
