I know, I know, I always spend more time talking than reading. But it's a great challenge and I've had lots of fun -- though I always end up kind of annoyed with myself at how much more reading I COULD have done... if I hadn't been talking, snacking, and sleeping so much of the time.
Maybe this will be the time I'll read rather than fritter. There are SO many distractions, though; the cheerleading and the mini-challenges are only the half of it. But of course, that's what makes it so much fun. That and the silliness in the late hours.
You set your own reading goals, you set your own agenda, and you read as much as you want to and go to sleep when you want to. I know a few people are mainly in it for the snacks.
So, what's there to lose? Here's the page to sign up. See you on 9 April!
This year I'm having a Readathon Retreat with Amanda from The Zen Leaf! We have booked a hotel room and we're going to lock ourselves in with piles of books (and her laptop). Small breaks will be permitted for food, hot tubs, and perhaps a viewing of Jane Eyre -- it's book related, so we're counting it!
ReplyDeleteOh heavens, that sounds like lots of fun! Are you allowed to read in the hot tub? I will have to consider the retreat idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I did this last time and I loved it. But I agree: I always read way less than I hope I will.
ReplyDeleteKaren, what a wonderful idea!
Glad you're joining us Judith! Do you have a book list yet? I'm still not sure about mine.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I'll be reading, Marieke, but I have noted some books that "qualify". I'll definitely put one or two thrillers/mysteries on the list as they are usually interesting enough to keep reading. And further, some easy-ish reads.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it!
