Spring 2015 Read-A-Thon

[Jonel]

Welcome to our SPRING seasonal read-a-thon. This read-a-thon runs from March 20/15 to June 20/15.

Not only are we counting the pages that we read, but there is also a bonus challenge this time. For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if the author's name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. Watch for our bonus word coming soon

For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):

Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Racing the Nightmares by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points

Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The person with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose a spring related word for the next quarter.

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.

Here is a a template for your post:
