Thank you so much for joining. I think it is going to be a lot of fun (and hopefully generate a lot of support for the cozies). I have hourly activities planned and am starting to acquire prizes for each of them.

If you have any questions, you can contact me here, at the website https://saveourcoziesreadathon.wordpr... , on twitter @saveourcozies or gmail saveourcoziesreadathon@gmail.com.

Thanks again,

Just touching base - 29 days to go :) we have almost 50 readers and I have compiled the challenges/activities I will be using. I am starting to acquire prizes for each hour. Getting excited, hope you all are as well!

I've added you! I think you are first participant from Germany. We have US, UK and Canada already so that is great! I lived in Germany for 8 years in Heidelberg, beautiful country. I miss it.

Thank you so much for joining. Good to see you hear at Goodreads. It is my understanding that since Goodreads is affiliated with amazon, publishers look at activity and reviews here as part of their decision making process. Great to have your support! I have added you to the participant list

Thank you for joining. No problem with reviews being in Italian, we have other international participants as well! Looking forward to the event, this group on Goodreads looks like it will be very active.

Will there be Italian to English translation? I think Facebook has that translation option?

Hi Patrizia ~ My Italian is a little rusty, but if you're worried, I can do my best to translate that day. I'll look for your review. Posso leggere, ma non posso parlare molto bene perche qualque volta, non so le parole.

Before I forget, I'd be happy to donate one of my books to the Readathon ~ either one of the Soup Lover's Mysteries or my new book, The Madness of Mercury, first in the Zodiac Mystery series. Please let me know how I can do that, either by mail or e-book, now, or at the end of the day.

Thank you! I have the same problem: I can read English, but I have many problem to translate from Italian to English.
I wrote many reviews about books in series what have been canceled by publisher (publishing? How do you say "case editrici" in English?): I think I will write in these reviews my discomfort about their cancelation (non so se mi sono inventate delle parole in inglese...).

Hi - That is great. I have read all of your Soup Lover's mysteries and really enjoyed them. Once we have the activities and know who the winners are I can forward the address to you and you can send it directly to them. Just let me know the format (print or ebook) . If you like we can leave it winner's choice for the which book? Let me know at saveourcoziesreadathon@gmail.com or message me here. I will then do a social media release :). Thanks again. I really appreciate donations for the readathon. I think they encourage a lot of social media activity!
