It's read-a-thon time! As always, this is your official progress post. Use it to share your progress with the group and offer encouragement to your fellow read-a-thonners.

Tell us...
How many pages have you read?
How many books have you read?
What are you reading now?
What have you finished reading?


As with all our read-a-thons, we want to remind participants that the idea is to read, read, read. Read as much as you can and have as much fun as you can doing it. Don't make reading a job or a chore. Don't let the progress of others intimidate or discourage you. Everyone reads at their own pace and we're here to have fun. Go on! Get started! Read and enjoy!

message 9: by Rachel (new)

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 3266 comments So I somehow missed the boat on the readathon completely, and didn't even realize it had started yesterday. I'll count what I read yesterday as well.

How many pages have you read?: 60 pages to finish off When the Moon Was Ours, and 240 pages of What I Thought Was True
How many books have you read?: I finished off one, but I was already mostly finished with it before the readthon started.
What are you reading now?: Making annoyingly slow progress on What I Thought Was True. It looks like it should be a relatively quick read, but it's long for a YA book and the story doesn't really grab me.
What have you finished reading?: When the Moon Was Ours
