YA Addicts discussion

I found this in Crazy for YA books and thought it was a cool idea.

So you just ask for someone to do a reading sprint. It can be as long as you want it to be. You don't have to read the same book.

Anyone?

I've never done this before but it sounds fun!!

Ok :) want to do one?

Sure :)

How long would you like to do it for?

Can you explain it for me?

Sara:
Let's say you want to 'sprint' for 10 minutes. You read a book for 10 minutes straight and see how many pages you can read in that time

I can do one for like 5 mins XD

I'll try.


You ask if anyone wants to do a Reading Sprint. Then you set a certain amount of minutes you read for. Then when you finished, you post how many pages you read from what book.


Did that help? I'm not good at explaining things.

I can do one for 20 minutes :)

Ok :) let's start in 1 minute. Then it will be 20 after here

Kk

Glad you guys like the idea of sprints!

I am one of the two moderators of Crazy for YA Books, where Anna found this idea.

Here is the thread to our reading sprints.. many people are on all the time (very active group) so if you can't find someone to sprint with here, most likely you can find one on my group!

Have fun!

You read 64 pages in 20 minutes?!?!

Read 55 pages of Code by Katy Reichs

I'm a fast reader

Cool :)

You guys are SO fast! Seriously, 64 and 55 pages?! Of normal print?! My goodness!

If I really like the book I read faster :D

Yep. It's a hardback book so it's a normal book

Wow! I admire both of you.

Does anyone want to sprint.?

Sprint?

I'll do one!

Hi!

You still want to do one? I can do a few short ones!

Yes I want to do heaps haha. Time and length?

at :00 for 10 minutes?

Yeah sure :) Also, just to let you know, I'll be alternating sprints between you on this thread and Melissa on another sprinting thread. Sorry if it's inconvenient :(

No it's fine :) I have other stuff going on anyways :)

Alright. :) Well she hasn't replied yet so Idk what's happening.

See you at :10!

See you!

I read 12 pages of Champion.

I read the preface of Everneath :D

How many pages?

Um I'm on my ipod so it's not the same...Hang on I'll check the percentage

Alright :) I read 5% of Champion.

I read 4%

Sweet! I'm going to do a sprint on the other thread now. And also it turns out that someone else has replied on another thread so I'll be juggling 3 sprinting threads.

Okay! That's fine take your time. I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna be on but hopefully a little while longer

Alright :)

Still here? I might be able to sprint with you.

Yup! Still here :)

Want to sprint? You can choose time and length.

Sure! How bout :55 for 10 minutes

Yeah sounds good :)

Kay see you at :05
