[Chalmation]

I participated in my first one in January: the 24 in 48 readathon. I think I read for 10 hours. I even won a book.

[Chalmation]

I won a hardcover of The Woman in the Window, which I already had on my library wish list. I only read Kindle ebooks, but I think I might read the version I won, sometime this year.

I even added both versions of Rear Window to my Netflix queue, since the book is supposed to be similar.

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

This is my second one but, I am excited I have time to plan.

[Blagica , Cheerleader!]

I know Stephen King is on the list just don't know what else.

[Agnieszka]

I participated twice in the yearly two week Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon (has it's own group), several of the monthly 6 to 7 days RaTs (Crazy Challenge Connection & Badass Reading Challenges groups) though I never joined a 24-hour-RaT before.

It's too early for me know which of my many books will be still open in one month or stumble onto my TBR by than :-) Most of my books are for one of my many challenges or depending on my mood *grins*

Who here has participated in a readathon before and for whom will this be your first time? Any readathon plans yet (TBR pile, game plan, etc)?"

I participated in the last 24in48 readathon. I plan on reading some for work (not looking forward to it) and some for fun. After each 3-4 hours of reading for work I get to read for fun (probably His Dark Materials since I haven't been able to pick up those books from my library before my holiday, so will read all of them after I get back).

[Lynn]

I never really did an organized read-a-thon before but I am looking forward to it very much! I will use the time to catch up on challenge books & buddy reads! :) I am being extremely optimistic and saying I would like to complete 3-4 books during my proposed 15 hours :)

[Lynn]

Possible titles I am *considering* for the read-a-thon ...

I am very much looking forward to the event :)

[Winter, Group Reads]

So unfortunately this is the same weekend as my mother celebrates her 60 year birthday. We are probably going to have visits and I have to bake two cakes, but I want to try for three hours, one hour a day. Wish I could read more, we will see how this goes.

Thank you! You just reminded me that this is a weekend I am traveling to visit an out of state cousin! I'm probably only going to be able to read for 3 or 4 hours too.

[Brittany]

I'm in for 12 hours hopefully! I've never done a readathon before although I have wanted to. No clue yet what I will read.

There's a good chance I will read more than 12 hours with audiobook time but I leave it at that for now.
My attempted reading list, subject to change on a whim:

I will finish listening to

Intend to read from the following:

[Kimberly]

I'll be in Hawaii that weekend, so I'll have to pass on this Readathon :D

Never done a readathon before but most weekends, I'm reading all day Saturday/Sunday. My plan is to finish a book from my TBR pile that I can include in as many group challenges as possible.

[Sharon]

I'm going to try for 10 hours, I will have a friend in town for part of the weekend but we'll see how much I am able to read.

[Janine]

What a fun idea to choose a number of hours rather than pages/books. The Friday and Saturday are a bit busy for me (Friday is my birthday, Saturday is international tabletop day - I will be in a bookstore until 3am, just playing boardgames instead of reading!)

I'll sign up for a conservative 6 hours.
