Jonel Welcome to our 24 hour long read-a-thon. This read-a-thon runs on May 23/15. Each reader reads from 12:01am on May 23/15 to 11:59pm on May 23/15 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.

I've linked everyone's names to their original posts for ease of access during the read-a-thon.

*Please do not delete a post once created. Doing so will disrupt the links in the 'participants' post. If you can no longer participate, that's no problem, feel free to edit your original post but please leave your post there.

Please Note: We're doing things a little differently this time around. This post with be for both the reading lists & for chatting while the read-a-thon is going on!

My theory always is that if the read-a-thon gets you to read even 1 more page then it's worth it!


message 9: by Jasmiina (last edited May 24, 2015 09:26AM) (new)

Jasmiina F (slipperbunny) | 92 comments I'm in! My goal is to read at least 200 pages from The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy II. It would be nice to finish the whole book, but I'm not sure if I have that much time to read.

Pages Read: 186 pages from The Mammoth Book of Comic Fantasy II by Mike Ashley

Didn't quite reach my goal, but I still read more than I would have in a normal day.

To me it doesn't really matter either way would be great because it would help cut down my big kindle TBR which is at 132 kindle books right now, and I know that I'm going to hate myself when I say this then again I'm not but that way I can buy more books.Becouse like I always say YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY BOOKS!!!!

Laura (laurakarvinen) | 3 comments I just joined this group, so excited! I'm gonna finish We Were Liars and The Scorch Trials. I've already started both of them, which is why the "Pages read" will not match the length of the books.

Pages read: 134
