Read-A-Thon (Week #3) - Chat Room

[Jonel]

Feel free to use this thread to chat about what you're reading during the read-a-thon and how it's going for you! Also, lets share our tips & tricks for making this a successful read-a-thon.

Just one question, since it's my first time: When I start on the 5th 7 am my time, do I end on the 12th also at 7 am?

I'm just asking, since I saw people's planning include 8 days, not 7...?

[Jonel]

Nope, I just went back and checked the last read-a-thon as well and it appears we're actually running on an 8 day week in this group. Not sure how that happened, I'm just working with the dates handed to me when I agreed to co-mod.

Basically, since I'm in EST, I read from midnight between the 4th & 5th, all day on the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th.

We all always say we need more hours in a day, now we have more days in a week. It's like a baker's dozen, but for days.

[Jonel]

I think we may tweak this for next month's read-a-thon.

[Elsbeth]

Okay, thanks for answering! So mine ends on the 13th 7 am, if I understand correct.

[Jonel]

Yes. That's correct.

[Elsbeth]

I have a question. I was already in the middle of reading something. When I have finished it, do I just post the # of pages I've read from this morning, or do I also post #1 book read? Just wondering, since I would have read only half of this book during this read-a-thon.

Happy reading everyone!

[Jonel]

You can post the # of pages you read, and if you only read half the book, feel free to put down that you read 1/2 the book ( I think at one point last time I said I read .33 of a book :) ).

[Elsbeth]

Okay, thanks!
