2011 Read-A-Thon Participant Sign Up

[Barbara ★]

I'm doing the read-a-thon today. Started reading 8 am this morning with the second story by Gena Showalter from Deep Kiss of Winter.

[Pansy]

Thanks Jess. I wrote ya back. I am not sure about how to do a thread.

[Pansy]

I got up this morning at 7:00 am to start reading. Got coffee,check, glasses,check, blankie,check, and dog by my side. OOps, forgot the book.

[Jess]

Pansy I sent you a message, hopefully it will help.

Awesome Barbara! Have fun :)

[Pansy]

I got it. Thank you so much. Sorry about being a pain so early in the morning.

[Jess]

Not a problem :)

Is anyone interested in pairing up with me to do a readathon at some point between Aug 2 and 16? I definitely need a buddy. I'm in the UK but I'm not a morning person so I'm happy to buddy up with non-UK peeps :)

[Jacy]

I'm going to do my RAT on Aug. 20th and 21st. I don't know what I'm going to read, but I think I'm just going to go through my TBR list and clear out the books I have on hand.

[Jess]

Awesome Jacy!

Okay I've finally figured out when I can do it. I'm going to do 12 hours over the course of two days. I am going to start tonight at midnight, and go until noon tomorrow. If I feel capable of completing a full 24 hours I'll post it. Otherwise I will be doing another 12 hours starting at midnight on Thursday until noon on Friday.

My dates are 8/9 and 8/12.

I will be trying to complete Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon and Covet by J.R. Ward. As well as reading The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa, The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegan and Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin.

Ok I finally see a big block of time in my future!
My dates will be Aug 14 and 21.
Not sure what books I will read but I have a huge TBR pile sitting at home waiting for me so I will choose from there.

Wow Sarah not sure I could do a straight 24!

[Sarah]

I didn't think I would be able to either. I have an hour left before it's 12 hours and I know I wouldn't make it 24. I'm going to finish my 24 hours on Friday.

[Lenore]

Is it too late to join? I seriously need to catch up on my reading and this might be just what I need!

I think I am going to do August 10 and 11. The goal is 12 total hours? Can I do it? Gonna try!!

I'd like to read these books:


And if I have time:

[Jess]

Awesome ladies, can't wait to hear about how your read-a-thons turn out!

Lenore - definitely not too late. Have fun!

[Sarah]

12 hours really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But it got harder to read so much, I wasn't reading as quick as usual. Hopefully I'll be more prepared for next time.

[Jess]

I think there's something about feeling like you "have" to read. Sometimes I think it slows you down or makes you feel obligated.

[Lenore]

Well I had planned to participate today, but why is it every time you have something to do "for yourself" a ton of things just pop up from nowhere? Anyways, I may try to do as much as I can today but who knows :(

[Nairabell]

I think I'll be doing a readathon tomorrow and maybe Friday as two lots of 12 hours. My kid sister just brought me all the Harry Potter books so I want to get my August books read before I start those.

[Lenore]

I am just knocking down my hours a little. I'm going to go for 6 total hours over 2-3 days staring yesterday.

I got 2 hours read yesterday. Woot!
