Often we start with a list of book possibilities.By now many are settling with a have focused in on one or two books with a third also being eyed. So the goals are forming. What are you reading goals for this readathon?

Unless something happens, I plan to start and finish a Perry Mason mystery The Case of the Velvet Claws by Erle Stanley Gardner and to to continue Cousin Bette by Honoré de Balzac . Perhaps to mix things up I will read M Is for Magic by Neil Gaiman.

Vicki Willis | 555 comments I am just so happy this this time I have the whole time to do the RaT. I have about 5 books I want to read. I will probably read some from each. I don't really have a page goal or a time goal .

Ann A (readerann) | 908 comments My goal is to break my record for total number of pages read during a readathon!


message 11: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 322 comments I have very vague goals. I want to participate in some discussions, finish several books, read lots of pages, read at least 24 hours over the three day weekend, and make a noticeable dent in my readathon TBR (I always pick WAY too many books to have on hand).

Kate | 675 comments I'm hoping to read for 10 hours and read over 500 pages.

Lolita | 60 comments To read as much as I can and to have fun.


message 14: by Lena (new)

Lena (nlgmcr69) | 235 comments As always, I want to read as much as I can. I haven't really set any goals this time. However, I am 3 books behind on my Goodreads Yearly Challenge so I would like to finish at least 3 books during the read-a-thon if I can to get caught up.

Dana Cristiana (silvermoon1923) | 73 comments I hope to finish at least 5 out of 9 books from my Dewey's tbr. Also completing the bingo board and posting photos on insta for all prompts. So far so good.

And I second Lynette's comment . To read as much as I can
and have some fun . I will probably finish none of the books
I chose , but I always finish the magazines.
