Olympic Read-a-Thon: Goals #OlympicReadathon


That's right! Another read-a-thon.  My view is...never say die! This read-a-thon is being hosted by Random House of Canada.  It's the Olympic Read-a-Thon.  It lasts during the entire span of the
Olympics in London, July 27 through August 12.  They're using the hashtag #OlympicReadathon for interaction on Twitter.  To find out full details and sign up, click the badge above or HERE.

For this read-a-thon, we are to set a pages read goal.  My goal is 2000 pages.  I know for sure I'm going to be finishing the following books:

Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Middlemarch by George Eliot

plus, I have a couple of review books to read by end of month.  One is fairly short so shouldn't be a problem.  Those are my plans for the next four days.  After that, anything goes!

Are you doing the Olympic Read-a-Thon?

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. Hello again Michelle! And lots of good luck for another read-a-thon (bet you're relieved to be reading rather than hosting this time, huh?)... I aiming for a modest 850 pages, thanks to work and house viewings (ie. lots of cleaning!) this fortnight. Drop by and say hi if you get chance - I think many a read-a-thon addict is being created this summer! :D

  4. Boy, you're getting some chunksters finished up! Just in time for you to start Wolf Hall! I'm going to have to see how I do on vacation getting through the books I'm taking - if I really bang them out, then I'll join you for Wolf Hall. Hope to do that because I think it's one that will help to be able to talk about.
