The Summer Lovin' Read-A-Thon is Here!

 

Well, it starts tomorrow so I need to get ready. It lasts all week, until the 7th and the goal is to read as many books as possible, but without stressing.

To quote from the sign-up post:
The week long read-a-thon will start Monday July 1st with daily events and giveaways. Then come and join us for a 24-hr marathon read-a-thon starting Saturday, July 6th from 10:00 a.m. EST to Sunday, July 7th at 9:59 a.m. EST.

You can chat about your progress on Twitter all week long using the hashtag #SummerLovin13
Also, the sign up period is open until July 6th so if you decide to join, it's not too late.

My goals for the week, work and health permitting:

Finish proofing the romance I'm editing - returned to author 7/2, waiting for final edits; edits received back 7/6, further editing needed, working on it 7/7; edits finished and returned to author 7/7

  3. You put me to shame when I look at my own pile of unread book. There just aren't enough hours in the day!

    1. Agreed, we need more hours for reading.

      This week was a good one for a read-a-thon. I have a light week on the blog and at my day job so I can devote more time to reading. :)
