Karen (karinlib) | 2108 comments Welcome to our week long read-a-thon. That's right, at Hooked on Books we've decided that there aren't enough hours in a day, or days in a week, so our week long read-a-thons run for 8 days! Each participant reads from 12:01am on Saturday to 11:59pm on the following Saturday in their local time zone.

To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.

For 2022, we are adding optional challenges to the readathons. For the week-long readathons, set a personal reading goal.

❡Risa (risamareads) This is the first readathon and group challenge on goodreads I am joining, have fun everyone!


TBR:
When the Dead Come A Knockin' (The Veil Diaries, #2) by B.L. Brunnemer (Started around 32% in) Story Physics Harnessing the Underlying Forces of Storytelling by Larry Brooks (Started at around 52% in)
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood Der kleine Hobbit (Middle-earth Universe) by J.R.R. Tolkien Der kleine Prinz by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

08/06: When the Dead Come a Knockin' to 53%.

08/07: finished When the Dead Come a Knockin', The Love Hypothesis to Page 84.

08/08: Knot for Me to 33% (I read a bit outside of my TBR as always lol), The Love Hypothesis to page 167, finished Story Physics: Harnessing the Underlying Forces of Storytelling.

08/09: Knot for Me to 83%, finished City of Ashes (started at around 43%), started and finished Der Kleine Prinz.

08/10: finished Knot for Me, finished The Love Hypothesis, Reread Heartstopper Vol. 01.

08/11: started & finished HEUTE SCHON GESCHRIEBEN? Figuren entwickeln: Mit Profitipps zum Bucherfolg - Band 2

08/12: started Der kleine Hobbit, to page 142.

08/13: finished Der kleine Hobbit, and thus finished my TBR! 🎉

Total pages: 1735 (2297)
I put in the different numbers because I read 1 audiobook (City of Ashes) and 1 Graphic Novel (Heartstopper Vol. 1) and I am not sure if they count. I will count them personally, but not sure if there is a rule or something about it?

Anyways, here are some thoughts on this whole thing since it's my first one...
I did enjoy seeing what others are up to here, that's what I actually enjoyed the most.
I kind of hoped this week readathon would motivate me to tackle some books I have been procrastinating on and that it certainly did.
I once again noticed that I hate tracking page numbers because I tend to not pay attention where I start and stop in a reading session, but I did manage it this time luckily.
My favorite read from the completed books was The Love Hypothesis.
I also will forever and ever not stick to my TBRs, but I am honestly shocked I did actually read all the books I intended to read.
I hope everyone had fun and accomplished their goals! Have a fun weekend everyone 🍀
