The Ready, Set, Read-Athon is hosted by Faye @ A Daydreamer's Thoughts and Danie & Kate @ Booktacular!
The read-a-thon starts on Friday August 31st at midnight & ends on Sunday September 2nd.
The twitter hashtag for the read-a-thon is #RSReadathon.
On Saturday there will be a twitter chat at 9 pm GMT (for me that will be 11 pm, so if I'm home, I'll definitely join). I love read-a-thon twitter chats :)
Now, my goals, I'm hoping to finish at least 2 books, and to read at least 600 pages.
Yeah, I'm planning to count the pages. I'll probably do at least one update post. I changed my mind, I'll update this post every day with my progress.
What I'll be reading?
Well, I'm such a moody reader, so I'm not good at sticking to my plans, and although I planned for the read-a-thon to start new books, that changed, so I'll continue reading 2 previously started books (Seraphina & Seeds of Rebellion), hopefully I'll finish them, and on my reading list are: Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver & Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Midnight Palace, although if my mood changes, I can always pick up something else. ;)
Total number of pages read: 1200
Total number of books read/finished: 3
Ok, I'm scheduling this post to goes up at midnight, and because at the moment I'm reading Seeds of Rebellion by Brandon Mull (I can't seem to put it down), I will be reading it at midnight when the read-a-thon starts, so that's my first book I'll be reading for the read-a-thon!
Happy reading!!!

I really want to re-read Shiver soon, and I just really want to read Seraphina haha! Good luck with your goals, and hopefully see you on twitter! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm actually reading Shiver for the first time :)
DeleteThanks for visiting me!
I have a 600 page count goal too! Great selection of books as well, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI really enjoyed Shiver, hope you do too! Good luck with your goals. Seraphina looks really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yeah, so far I'm enjoying it :)
DeleteI think I prefer setting a word count goal rather than a book goal. I find I change my mind a lot during readathons. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteDang girl! You've almost hit your goals already, and you still have two more days to go. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining Faye, Kate and I as we host the first ever Ready, Set, Readathon (:
There are some great books up there! I loved Seraphina - like really, really - so I hope you like it too! It's a bit slow and confusing at the start, but give it time!
ReplyDeleteI wanna know your thoughts on Shiver too! :D
And look at you already reaching half your goal in ONE day! Well done!
Good luck with the rest! Thanks for joining us!
Faye
Thanks, Faye.
DeleteAnd I know, I started Seraphina quite some time ago, but it was hard to get into it, so I put it aside, but now it's time to finish it, and yeah, I'm finally enjoying it a lot :)
And Shiver so far has been fun & sweet, although I haven't read from it at all today, less time for reading today...
Thanks for hosting!
I liked the Shiver series, and Seraphina is one of the books I want to read! Mostly because of the cover :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck & Happy reading!
Thanks, Cayce :)
DeleteCongrats on meeting/exceeding your goals. :D
