Basically Books! discussion

In case anyone isn't aware, the idea behind a readathon is that all participants sit down with a book for an evening, logging on from goodreads from time to time to update other participants on their progress / chat about their evening.

That said, would anyone be interested in a Basically Books readathon in August?

Sounds interesting. However I think the time should be chosen well because ppl may be living in different time zones.

Yeah, like me! I wouldn't mind a readthon though, as long as I'm not too busy with the thesis and stuff.

That being said, if it's a light read I'm totally in. I'm not in the mood for Dostoievsky and authors that leave you with a headache :P

I'm for it... if it's a decent time etc :)

Depending on what time and whether I have time for it, I could do it but will have to see whether I feel up to it when it comes to the start :)

It all sounds rather saucy and rude.

Where does one sign up? And can I bring my own pyjamas?

Of you can!! Reading in pajamas is the best!

I would like to join in!

I was thinking we could just pick a "reading weekend" - Friday night through Sunday night. I know that I'm never going to just read all weekend - unfortunately I don't have that luxury! But I can certainly dedicate my evenings to reading.

That way everyone *should* have someone to speak to during their daylight hours (otherwise we'd be very restricted due to time zone differences).

We don't have to all read the same book, though that could be fun - especially if it's one we don't like, eh Jeshu!? ;)

How would Fri 30th "evening" through Sun 1st "night" work for everyone?

The ones we don't like provide the best conversations!! XD

Allowing it to span a weekend would greatly increase my ability to join it, even if it's just in the evening, so I'm all for that. :D

I am up for it, as Im sure i can do at least some of that :D

I am up for it..what book tho?

we still have to decide on that!
