Ready for the 2nd read-a-thon? It seems we'll start it in 2 hours but feel free to dive in your books before that ;)

1. What books do you have in your "to be read" pile for the next 24 hours?

2. Which book is the most appealing in this list?

3. Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, etc.)?

4. Where will you be doing your reading? Do you have a special spot picked out or will you be roaming around?

We'll try to do activities every hour (shorter than in the 1st read-a-thon), so have a look at the group to add your progress, take part in the games and do some challenges :)

For those of you who haven't checked out our new (awesome!) webpage that Jessica created, there's a chatroom feature for anyone who is feeling extra social during the read-a-thon :)

I didn't plan to join the second read-a-thon 'cause I thought I'd be busy like during the first one, but, boy, am I wrong. I'm having the most boring weekend ever so far! So I'm glad this read-a-thon is happening. :D

Big Little Lies
I've been looking forward to reading this for the antonym week for ages.

3. Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, etc.)?

Sofa, bed and patio

I hadn't really planned on participating in the read-a-thon, but I think I'll join in as much as possible.

1. What books do you have in your "to be read" pile for the next 24 hours?

2. Which book is the most appealing in this list?
They are all appealing

3. Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, etc.)?
No not really. As mentioned, I hadn't planned to join this read-a-thon, so I haven't really set any goals.

4. Where will you be doing your reading? Do you have a special spot picked out or will you be roaming around?
I'll probably be roaming around and change place from the livingroom, the bedroom and the balcony.

1. What books do you have in your "to be read" pile for the next 24 hours?
- I want to finish The Summer I Turned Pretty Complete Series (Summer #1-3), I've read 1/3 so far.
- Dracula (a book more than 100 years old)
If I'll be able to finish Dracula I'll add more books.

2. Which book is the most appealing in this list?
The summer I turned pretty, because the first one of these was already awesome.

3. Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, etc.)?
I want to finish the first one, otherwise I want to read as much as possible in 24 hours.

4. Where will you be doing your reading? Do you have a special spot picked out or will you be roaming around?
I'll read in our garden most of the time, the weather is lovely today. If it's getting chillier tonight I'll read in my bed.

1. What books do you have in your "to be read" pile for the next 24 hrs?
A Dragon-Lover's Treasury of the Fantastic I am about halfway through this one and wish to finish it today.
tail chasers song My cats seemed to love this book. They both were rubbing it all over. LOL
and I have a few others if I get to them. These are all side reads.

2. Which book is the most appealing?
I do not have a specific preference.

3. Do you have goals for the read-a-thon?
Not for myself, just to have my kids read for a few hours today.

4.Where will you be doing your reading?
I am running a yard sale today, so outside between customers (hopefully). In the hammock, upstairs under the skylight later tonight.

1. What books do you have in your to read pile.
I will be reading One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest for my banned book choice and starting the Fifty Shades of Grey series for my trilogy.

2. Which book is most appealing in this list?
I am really enjoying One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest so far. I used to work in a state psychiatric hospital and it's amazing how spot on some of the material is and how little gas actually changed. I am reading this for another book club I am in and luckily this fit well into the challenge.

3. Do you have goals for the read a thon?
My goal is to be more active than I was last time. I was in school during the last read a thon and I didn't have much time to devote to it so I missed out a lot on the discussions. My schedule is pretty open this time, I just gave a few errands to run here and there so I am hoping to be more active and read more this time arounds.

4. Where will you be doing your reading?
I will be reading on my couch and deck but I may move to a coffee shop if I need a change or scenery and more caffeine later in the day.

Good luck to all of you!

MY comfy chair, my deck chair and around the house and/or garden with my audio book.

Happy reading!

1- books. I'm going to tackle my in progress list with a snowball approach- starting with the books I'm closest to finishing and working my way down! I want to finish Year of reading dangerously, fellowship of the ring, and north and south. I'm committing to at least two hours on emperor of all maladies, cause I'm not into it and have let that one languish for far too long. I also want to finish (finally!) my challenge list!

2- where reading- mostly at home in bed or on couch, though I may do an hour or two of afternoon pub reading. I believe in pub reading!

3- what was the third question?

I'm joining you all in a few hours- got roped into the early shift!

the lost symbol by dan brown
so long and thanks for all the fish by douglas adams
