24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Away We Go!

It’s early in my neck of the woods but here I am, participating in the 24-Hour Read-a-Thon! This is my second time doing this and my goal this time is ‘simplicity.’ I plan to keep it as simple as possible. I have post templates and will be posting updates every three hours. During that three hour span, I’ll take about a half-hour for breaks and blog hopping. So if you do not see me responding to your cheers, please don’t take it personally! I’ll be reading each and every one of them and trust me, I’ll need them to keep plugging along.

I am starting with The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks so that I can Tweet with Rebecca via her #IHeartTheSpark hashtag.

That said, away-I-go! My next update here will be around 8am.

Also, there won’t be a Confessions of a Reader post today but I’ll be back next Saturday with a new post!

best of luck Ti!

Go Ti! I haven’t started reading yet but already having so much fun! (Miss Bethany, though, don’t you?)

I’m taking a short break to see how everyone is doing. You seem to have a good plan. I’m kind of winging it until I get it all figured out being a first-timer. Good luck and happy reading!

Hi there and good morning 🙂

My name is Louise and this is my first visit to your blog. I am already looking forward to visit again and check it out more 🙂

I live in Denmark and have been up for hours, since I am nine hours ahead of Pacific Time and 5AM Pacific Time means 2PM in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I wish you much luck with your readathon. I have signed up this year for the first time, although I am not reading but cheerleading.

Those first hours I am going to orientate myself a bit, check out the blogs participating, hanging out on Twitter and so on. I might sneak in a bit of reading here and there, but my main thing is to cheer so GO! GO! GO!

Good luck Ti! Can’t wait to hear (and probably see pictures of) your updates! Hope the kids do well with their snacks!!!

Yay! Let the games begin! 🙂

Traditional read-a-thon blessing:

May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.

Good luck today!
