Fall Catch-Up Read-A-thon

Michelle of The True Book Addict is hosting a Fall Catch-Up Read-A-Thon beginning at 8 a.m. on September 20th and ending at 8 p.m. on September 26th.  Michelle has chosen to make the read-a-thon an entire week so that everyone who wants to participate can, not matter their real life schedule.

I'm going to be using the read-a-thon truly as a catch up week.  I have a ridiculous number of books that I have started but have yet to finish and my goal this week will be to get through all of them.  This will set me up perfectly for the Dewey 24-Hour Read-A-Thon scheduled for October 9th.  I like to have all new books to work on for the day (as well as a stash of yummy snacks, of course!).

Are you looking for an excuse to spend all of your waking, non-working hours, reading?  Head on over to sign up to join us!

  1. I really like the idea of this read-a-thon. I will definitely join so that I can at least make an effort to prioritize my reading when I am not at work.

  2. Gosh, that would be lovely. I have always wanted to do one of these guys but then the kiddo gets sick or I get sick or I fall asleep. !

    Maybe this year it will work out.

    Good luck!

  3. Sounds like fun - I like the idea of a readathon and love reading the posts during that time. I will probably be running (ha).

  5. I'm doing my own readathon this weekend, Lisa. Three days of mostly uninterrupted reading! If that isn't heaven, I don't know what is.

  8. I should really consider doing this and trying to wrap up a handful of half read books as well. I won't, but I should consider it.
