I know this is probably a stupid question, but do all the books need to be paranormal ones?

Hey Scarlett, no they don't all need to be paranormal but some paranormal would be great!

Agreed...
This is basically just to help you get your TBR down! If you've got some non-paranormal books you need to get through, go for it!
I'm pretty sure a couple of my books aren't paranormal that I've got on my list.
I'm in. I'm going for books & pages read.

Hi! I've been a member of this group for a while but have not been participating (sorry!!). I've just been super busy. Anyway, when I saw that you guys were doing a read-a-thon I thought--that's just what I need. So I hope you don't mind my joining in. :)This'll be my tracking post. I'll likely do a combination of percentages & pages, since I read on my Kindle a *lot.*
Sun: 221 pages of print books & 47% of Kindle books -- finished off 3 books
Mon: 48 pages of print books & 12% of Kindle books
Tues: 67 pages of print books & 3% of Kindle books -- finished 1 book
Wed: 3% of Kindle books
Thurs: 33% of Kindle books
Fri: 45% of Kindle books
Sat: 22% of Kindle books
Grand Total: 336 of print books & 165% of Kindle books

Just keep in mind that you cannot count books as "finished" unless you finish them on July 27th.
If they are finished prior to the 27th, they don't count for the read-a-thon.
You can start a book prior to the read-a-thon, but you can only start counting minutes/pages/books after the 27th.
After buying a house, ripping out and replacing the kitchen, painting, etc and then finally moving in, I haven't finished a single book in the last 2 MONTHS! I normally would've gotten through at least 15-20. I'm going to participate, but my goal is extremely small!!I want to finish the book I've been attempting to read for a lot of weeks!

Okay thank you. Sorry I misunderstood.

My first day didn't go near as well as I had hoped. I got busy and only managed to squeeze in 29 minutes of reading.Not even a full half hour!
Darn...
How did you all do?
Wasn't able to read at all. My ereader app broke and then I had to find a new one that I liked. Today, I have to clean the whole house so I don't know if I'll get in any reading. So this read-a-thon maybe a failure :(

Maybe after the house is nice and clean though you can kick back and get in a couple of pages to relax?
I took Sunday off from, like, *everything* so I got a good start on the reading week. But with my day job and my night job I have very little time to read during the week. Still, the goal is just to read more than usual, and I've already read more than usual. So, it's going good. :)

Welcome Renee!!!Day two was much better for me.
I managed to read for 1 hour and 43 minutes. Much better than my 29 minutes on Sunday!
I'm hoping I can get in even more hours today.
Got a lot accomplished yesterday!Finished a book, finished a challenge, and started a new book that I've been neglecting.
How's everyone else doing??
For my first read-a-thon -- doing okay. I have only been able to read about 100 - 200 pages a day .. but hoping to do some extra reading tonight after work!
Yesterday wasn't as great for me.I gave up on a book (It was too much like Twilight and I jut couldn't stomach reading that story again) and started a new one.
Only read for 40 minutes though...
I definitely read much more than I usually do this week, so for me this was a success. I'd love to do it again! :)
Well, didn't get as much read as I'd hoped but it was a fairly decent week. Updated #13. :)
Daphne wrote: "I definitely read much more than I usually do this week, so for me this was a success. I'd love to do it again! :)"I'd definitely be up for another as well.
I didn't read as much as I wanted to, but it was still a successful week for me :) I hope there's another readathon sometime!
I managed to get in a little bit of time, but I had some days that I hardly got to sit down and read, but at least I made it through two books, started two new ones, and realized I wasn't going to be able to force myself to read another book.Total Time Read: 08:28:57.57

I don't know now you manage to count hours. I'm a fiend for reading 5 mins here and 15 there, whenever I have a free second. I'd be walking around with a notepad all the time. Counting pages is so much easier for me.

I don't do pages because I read PDF versions of books that I've sent to myself aren't accurate with the page count in comparison to the actual book.

I also tend to try to start & finish books within read-a-thons so I don't have to do too much math.
It's always interesting to see how others count their totals during these. :D
Ugh, I gave up on the book I started July 31. August 1 was grandson's soccer game after work. August 2 was a book signing. Soooo little time and so many books!Had a great time though. Look forward to the next read-a-thon!

Welcome to what I hope will be the first of many successful Read-a-Thons!
This particular Read-a-Thon will take place from the stroke of 12:00am (midnight) on Sunday, July 27th, 2014 until the last second of 11:59pm (just before midnight) on Saturday August 2nd, 2014.
If the Read-a-Thon is successful and you all wish to continue with them, we can move the dates around to suit more people.
You may set goals for yourself to reach, or simply log hours/pages/books/etc if you wish.
The choice is yours.
The main goal of this is to push yourself to read more than you normally would.
So here we go!
Grab your books and let's get reading!
