It's time for sign ups for the fourth annual Once Upon a Readathon! This Readathon is hosted by Lori at Pure Imagination, Angela & Loretta at Reading Angels and myself. It runs from 12:01 am on July 8th to 11:59 on July 10th.
What is a Readathon?
A Readathon is where you set a goal for yourself to read more books that is beyond your average number of books you read. There is no minimum, it's all up to you! Push yourself to get some of those books read that have been sitting on your shelves for awhile! You can read anything you like. Any genre, any subject.
What you do:
To participate in the Once Upon a Readathon you enter into the linky below. It's the same linky on all our blogs, so only enter into it ONCE! Then grab the button and post it on your sidebar to spread the word and so you don't forget. Then, from 12:01 am on July 8th to 11:59 pm on July 10th you read, read, and read some more! Make sure you do at least one update post (if you don't have a blog you may do this on facebook and/or twitter) and participate in at least one challenge.

ReplyDeleteThanks, we're excited to have you participate!
DeleteI wish I could do this, but with a 3 and a half year old and a newborn, it's not really possible.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading to all of you who are joining!

Aw, you set your own goals so even if you only read half a book it's fine, it's just for fun!
DeleteI did this last year and loved it. I think I need to sign up again this year!
ReplyDeleteYes, you should!
DeleteThis is such a great idea! I will be with you in spirit, since the blog is booked up so far in advance, but you will definitely spur me to reading more. And I'm looking forward to reading all the update posts.
ReplyDeleteAw, shucks! Wish you could join us!
DeleteWant to sign up but not sure I stick to it. Still, sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteAll you can do is try your best. You should sign up!
DeleteOne of these days I will do one... :) One of these days... :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, like now! Come on... you know you want to!
DeleteI've always wanted to do a read-a-thon. I might sign up for this; I work the days it's going on so that limits time I can read at night...but it would still be fun to see if I can get a few books in. I'm a slow reader, so it wouldn't be a ton. haha

I wish this was on a weekend and not during the work week so I could participate. Oh well. If you do a weekend one some time, I'm in. :)
ReplyDeleteFIRST READ-A-THON EVER! Yay I'm so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteDarn I guess I'm too late to sign up. I'm a sucker for a read-a-thon but glad to have found you all. Sounds like a great event and doing a kick off post and will participate anyway.
