Peta (The Bookling)on 09 Aug 2009 at 10:00 pm 2Oh Nooooooooo. I am on holiday then and I doubt that my husband will appreciate me spending the first weekend reading books and glued to my twitter feed!
Roll on 2010!

Kimon 11 Aug 2009 at 8:30 pm 9Oh Hooray! I am so excited–my first read-a-thon was this past Spring and I was sick, sick, sick with bronchitis so I wasn’t in top form. My son Sam read a long with me and I am curious to see if he wants to again. I am looking forward to this.

Kayon 12 Aug 2009 at 11:23 am 10I love the date! It’s on the end of my “fall break” (as in, Spring Break but in another season, I don’t know how to call it!), so I’ll be able to do all my work and studying during the week to read, read and read!
Trishon 12 Aug 2009 at 12:46 pm 11SO excited–let’s just hope that weekend stays free over the next two months. Thanks you guys for doing such a great job!

Stackedon 18 Aug 2009 at 10:57 am 16Great – Marking the calendar and not double booking the day this time around. Looks like Stacked will have East and West Coast participation, so more than 24 hours of blogging! Now to pick out a fundraiser and what books to read.
Margot at Joyfully Retiredon 19 Aug 2009 at 6:46 am 17I’m ready! Last time was so much fun that I’m ready for a repeat performance. I’m marking my calendar and spreading the word.
Just Someoneon 19 Aug 2009 at 6:34 pm 18I am so excited reading about this – I intend to participate in October – keeping my fingers crossed about work schedules; I need to come back to get more details of the challenge and the reader, cheerleader etc.
You are doing a great job; its awesome! Amazing work!

Kingaon 30 Aug 2009 at 6:51 am 20Yoo-hoo!! I missed April and wondered if I had another chance. Here we go, I am marking my calendar. My 7-year-old is as excited as I am (although he is having permanent read-a-thons all year
)
