My goals
Honestly, I don’t expect to finish more than maybe 3 books, so I’ll set that as my goal. Although I’d love to make it to 5! But it’s just not possible this week, as I work 3 doubles and I have to be at OVMA all day Saturday =/ The only days I can really dedicate to reading will be Monday and Thursday. So 3 sounds good!

OMG I’M SO EXCITED!!! I’m off to write my post now and hopefully, I can start reading soon. :D
I’m hoping to read 3 books, too, and to finish 2 previously started books (actually, I just finished the 1st one).
I’m not planning to do daily updates, I’ll only update my post 2 or 3 times through the week with how I’m doing, hopefully that’s fine. I hate counting pages read ;)
Thanks for hosting :)
Happy reading!
Yay, good luck!
And that’s fine, you can track progress whatever way you want :)
Happy Readathon Everyone!
Managed to read a good chunk of my first book this morning. Been a bit distracted since, but hoping to plough on through the distractions :P
I’m so excited for the readathon. I’m hoping to finish Cress this week.
Ooh good luck with your reading! I almost never read anymore, I’m always distracted by something else lol. But it looks like you’re doing really great so far today! :D
This challenge is absolutely perfect for me! I haven’t read anything since last weekend (well, I read one book last night) and I really need to catch up in reading. Also, it may be an easier week of school, so I will actually have time to read! Thank you for hosting. :)
Good luck! I’m looking forward to joining in!
:-D It’s here! I am so glad even though I am not sure how much I will be able to get done with my crazy work schedule this week but I’m still going to have fun and have at it. Happy Reading this week!
Completed 1st book and on to 2nd – an audio to de-stress my eyes=)
Thx for initiating and hosting !
