Krysta (krystafig) | 4089 comments 2015 PA&N Read-a-Thon #1
Duration:
January 4th - January 10th

Welcome to the first Read-a-Thon of many this year!

Our first Read-a-Thon will take place from the stroke of 12:00am (midnight) on Sunday, January 4th, 2015 until the last second of 11:59pm (just before midnight) on Saturday January 10th, 2015.

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.

Grab your books and let's start the year off reading!

Nice!
I've only finished one book so far. For three days I didn't even pick up a book though. I was relearning to crochet.
