*grins* This shall be fun! *Cleans out PM box and waits for the flood of sign ups*

Unfortunately, my ability to read books in June is going to be...severely impaired, I think...

*readies large-print 3x5 sized book for quick page-finishing*

Then sign up and participate in July and August! You don't have to participate all of the months - you just need to sign up early on.

Dirty cheat. I'm stuck with Les Miserables and Calvin's Institutes.

@Wolf:

*whispers* (I'm actually going to be spending some time reading Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology and The Silmarillion as well, so...)

Ah. Good.

*whispers* (I'm actually going to be spending some time reading Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology and The Silmarillion as well, so...)

*ponders whether she'll have the time and material to enter* So. It's only the top most pages that win?

I probably will...Although the other unfortunate thing is that I'm not very interested in historical fiction... (yes, I realize you can read other stuff too, but still)

Two good books.

Though of course I have an entire skeleton to pick with Grudem on several points. (Don't ask me what...it's been a while since I read most of the book in the middle of the night and I don't remember a lot of specifics.)

Calvin's Institutes.

July Science Fiction,

Ooh, me too!


I'm going to give my brother Red Rain for his (July 12) birthday, then finish it myself, so good timing there ...

One question, though. Most of my reading nowadays tends to be ebooks on my laptop, in formats where "page" is nebulously defined at best. How do those count---or are we only counting cracking real paper books? (If that's addressed in the rules that'll be posted shortly, I can wait until then.)

I'm so excited about the Read-a-Thon! *looks at waist high stacks of books*

Also... the Read-a-Thon is very close to my heart. I actually joined HolyWorlds in the first place so I could participate last summer.

Really? That's interesting! *likes the Read-a-Thon even more for bringing in Amaris*

So...can we read kids books and count those?

*grins*


Last year the rules were that it had to be at your reading level, I think, but we'd best wait and see the rules to be sure. *waits*

As the person who started all this Read-a-Thon business way back six years ago, I'm delighted to see HW take over and let me just participate. Thanks, everybody!

(Now, to find out if I can manage to read during all the summer stuff I have going on...)

We're delighted that you started it, sir!

*Goes to sign up and PM Mae*

Yes, that's exactly what you do. Same with the end of the summer (or months) when you have to turn in your total counts but you haven't finished the book yet. Just count the pages you've read.

I started listening to Anna Karenina last week and since it is an audiobook, I have no idea how many pages I have "read". How do I count the pages for this week?

Also, does The Hobbit count for dragon week since it has a dragon in it ?

*Shows up late* I probably won't have time do do the read-a-thon...if I knew what it was...

*Realizes that the Hobbit is available for him to read* *decides he must do this, even if it ends up being one of very few books this month*
