I signed up and will be doing the readathon all month long like I usually do.

I'm in. Did the one day national readathon and not sure how I will make it over a week, but we'll see! I usually read about 1-2 books a week, so for the challenge I'm going to try to complete 3.
It's very exciting to see how many people are in! Can't wait for this to start.
I am in but I don't have a strategy either. I will look through my want to read bookshelf and think about what I will be reading. Can't wait I have it marked on the calendar.
The countdown to the readathon is on - there's less than a week to go until we have 7 whole days of reading fun!
So Kassandra, where is hubby taking you for this readathon? I'd be counting down too! :D LOL
Sadly Melissa, I will be on my own for this one but hopefully that will mean no distractions. Lots of time to read!

I'm jumping on the Spring Readathon Train nearly last Minute. I don't know what I'm going to read, but I already know that I'll take it slow this time as I have to study a lot with final exams coming up. But I'm sure there will be some time to do some reading. My main goal will be to finish the book(s) that are waiting on my currently reading shelf :)
Glad you're joining us Alessandra! It sounds like you have a great goal for it - I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.For anyone else that might be considering joining the readathon, it's not too late! You're welcome to join us right up until the end.

I'm not sure how much reading I'll get done, but I can't wait for that buzz of all of us reading together!
New to this but I am willing to give it a whirl. I will commit to two books.
Wow, I'm so impressed with the goals that everyone is setting. I'm not sure how much I'm going to go for but I'm looking forward to trying to get through at least one.
Going to try and get one done for my decade challenge Alone in Berlin
by Hans Fallada and one from my rainbow challenge The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie
.
Just a couple of hours to go for me until midnight and the start of the readathon! I'm going to try to stay up to read a few pages, but it's been a tiring weekend so I may not make it. Best of luck everyone! Don't forget to keep check in here and post when you can to let us know how your readathon is going.

Just started a couple pages of The Outlander. I have to work but will keep you posted how far I get.
Renee, I think I'm going to start with The Enchanted April. I know that you and Sandy enjoyed this one last year and will work with the Crazy Calendar Challenge. So much fun! I have to wait 2 1/2 hours before I can begin...
Mod
My first goal is to finish Exil in Sjanghai I already read some pages after midnight so this readathon has started for me! Good luck everyone!
Mod
It's a lovely day outside, for once here in England, so I'm going to sit out in the garden and try make further headway with North and South.
It's great to see so many people starting already!
Well as predicted I fell asleep long before midnight but I'm bringing my book with me to work today so I can read through lunch. Holly, a day reading in the garden sounds perfect - I hope it gets you back into the reading mood.
Happy reading everyone!
Originally didn't think I would be awake long enough to start right at midnight, but proud to say I actually did. Hopefully between some quiet time this evening and my long bus rides to work I can finish Party of One tonight and get started on another book (or two).
Congrats on ringing in the start of the readathon Lynnie!
My calendar alarm on my cell phone went off at exactly midnight. I was awake so I read 2 chapters of Dragonwyck by Anya Seton.
Great job Cindy - that should get you closer to finishing the book this week!
I started reading The Testing at midnight and I just finished the rest of it today. Good Luck everybody with the readathon challenge!!
I've been finishing up Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I think I'll read The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket next.
My goal is just to get as far done with Gone With the Wind as I can. I was at page 250 before 12am today. Let's see how far I get.
I wasn't sure I would be able to get any reading in today but I caught a lucky break. First day reading progress came in at 148 pages! I hope to continue so I can catch up on my # of books read - my widget says I'm 7 behind schedule so there is lots to catch up on.

Reading is reading - I'm sure fan fiction can be counted :)

Renee, I've swiped a few of your titles off your list and added them to my ever growing to-read pile. :D
Has anyone read Dorothy Must Die? I borrowed that one this week and am looking for some opinions on whether its a good read or not.
Wanted to read a quick beach book, so I was 100 pages into Ten Beach Road and finished it today. That would put me at 312 between Monday and today. Tonight or tomorrow I will start Wild.
