Vicki's Readathon Record
Great job, Vicki! See you in April and in our other group! :)
Read A Thon April 2025San Diego, CA start time 5am
Well, here we are again.
I will be doing a modified RaT this time (again).
I will be here early in the morning and then again in the evening. I am to the point that ANY reading is better than NO reading!
Welcome back, Vicki! Looking forward to seeing what you read! It's very true that any is better than no!
Agreed Vicki. Any reading is good reading and better than no reading.
I third that sentiment! It doesn’t matter how much or how fast.
Yep, all reading for this time counts
Mod
Any reading time matters. Having fun is what counts :)
Vicki Willis wrote: "ANY reading is better than NO reading!"I AGREE!!!
Go, Vicki! Since you will be away during the day, are you planning to really start at 5:00 a.m.? Yikes. I'm supposed to start at 6:00, but just not sure if I can make it. I tend to be an insomniac, and my best sleep hours are 3:00-8:00 :)
Yes 5 am is EARLY for this non-morning person, hope all works out well for you when you start
