Hello, here’s the plan for tomorrow. Even though I am not signed up as a reader, I will be reading the following books:
A Lesson Before Dying by Earnest J. Gaines
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
and/or
Oliver Sacks’ The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
My goal is only to beat last year’s achievement of 219 pages – yea, I know: PATHETIC.
Which is why my OFFICIAL activity is CHEERING!!!
I have yoga (I can’t miss my yoga class) at the same time my time zone is to start the Read-A-Thon, so my main cheering will be after 10 pm EST which will be hour 14 and beyond.
IF YOU ARE A BLOGSPOTTER READER or anyother kind of blogger with cryptic security stuff on your comment sign in screen!!! ***** Please turn them off ***** for this weekend – it makes commenting SO MUCH EASIER.
I won’t be hosting any official mini-challenges and I won’t be hosting any contests so don’t feel like you have to stop by here… I just didn’t get organized early enough. My goal is to be a comment-fool so if you want me to comment and stop by here – you’ll likely get a comment back. It’s just the way it works easiest right!?!?

Curious what I will be doing next week after R-A-T is all wrapped up and we get back to business?
I will have a wrap up on my Still Alice Author Event! and more about my first book club meeting with my new book club friends where we discuss… Still Alice! and we picked the next book! and I have a review of 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff to write/post (one word: delightful!) and I bought 3 books at the library sale yesterday I have to tell you about. and, and, and. I have another pie to bake for my husband’s birthday and a shout out to Jill who has a birthday next week and all sorts of celebrations going on at her blog (click here.)
Toodles until after yoga! sometime Saturday afternoon!
Hooray, cheerleader!
I’m glad you’re joining the read-a-thon. This year I’m a cheerleader and a reader so we’ll see how that goes.
You’re not pathetic!! Those are all fascinating books you have lined up.
And I can’t wait for your cheerleading again!!!
Yay, you’re cheering
I “unofficially” participated as a reader my first time doing the readathon (the first time Dewey did it) and still had a blast! Plus, I could go to bed when I wanted 
Enjoy your yoga class tomorrow!
I think it’s great that you’ll be cheering for everyone. I signed myself and my daughter up. She’s so excited, especially about staying up past her bedtime. We won’t be doing the whole 24 hours, I’m sure, but it’ll be lots of fun while it lasts!
oh cool, you are going to be a great cheerleader
Go Care! I’m so happy you’re a cheerleader again
You know, I think that’s how I first “met” you.
The Oliver Sacks book is great.
You know what? I really like your idea of tracking pages rather than books read. I am pretty certain that other than the book that I’m currently reading and have been reading for weeks now I won’t finish a book but if I gave myself a goal of pages that would make me feel as though I’ve accomplished something.
That being said… I’m hungover! Great way to start a readathon huh? I never go out but last night I did. UGH! I guess I’m not a very good bookie am I? Thanks for your comment on my blog!
I can’t wait to see what you think of Lesson Before Dying. I *loved* that book!
My Read-A-Thon page total from last year was nothing too exciting either. It’s still fun to participate though.
