Whose ready for another #SetYourOwnGoals 9 day readathon? Don‘t know about you but I need something positive to focus on, and even better if it helps our reading! The #NutsInMay and #EasterExtravaganza Readathons worked so well in April and May, so why not a #JoysOfJune Readathon starting this Saturday.

Please do join us, you can set your own goals : books read, series read, pages read, time read etc. Your choice!

rjsthumbelina Woohoo! Maybe this will help me to get back on track and prioritize reading... 5y

OriginalCyn620 I‘m in! I just have to think about my goal! 🤓 5y

Laughterhp Oh, sounds fun! I have to think of some goals though! 5y

CocoReads I‘m in! I‘ll think about my goal, the end of it will be my weekend to work but I might be able to read a lot up to it. 5y

Velvetfur This sounds great! So, just to check I've understood it right - we set a goal, as you described, then....post about it daily over the 9 days...? Then say how we've done towards that goal on the 9th day...? 5y

eanderson Yes! Maybe this will get my motivation back! 5y

Andrew65 @Velvetfur Yes set whatever goal you want using the ideas mentioned or your own ideas. Post your proposed reading stack on Friday or Saturday (or before that) and then doing a regular or daily post up dating your progress and a post at the end to let us know how you did. If you tag me and out the #JoysofJune hashtag in any posts. Very informal. 5y

Andrew65 @CocoReads With a nine day Readathon we can work it around our own work schedules. I know next week will be intensely busy for me work wise so I know I need something else to think about. 5y

Andrew65 @IamIamIam Great, and I‘m sure the calendar will help 🤣 I will go for pages too. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @rjsthumbelina Good luck, I‘m hoping it will give me something else to focus on to help my well-being. 5y

Andrew65 @OriginalCyn620 I‘m still thinking too. Will do a page count one but always like to set a couple of goals. 5y

Andrew65 @Laughterhp Great! Good luck with honking of goals. Always love to see everyone‘s goals. 5y

Andrew65 @eanderson Hopefully this will help many of us to get the reading mojo back. Mine has slipped a bit over the past couple of weeks due to work demands related to COVID 19. 5y

ravenlee I‘ll take a stab at it! Think I‘ll do a page count goal this time, but I‘ll ponder a couple days on it. 5y

TheSpineView This sounds good to me. I love these low pressure readathons. Count me in!❤📚❤ 5y

Andrew65 @ravenlee That‘s great. Always difficult to finally choose a goal. Good luck with that. 5y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Yey! Great to have you with us. We can do with some distraction. 😁. 5y

tracey38 I'm in. I'll think about my goals over the next day! 5y

Andrew65 @tracey38 Brilliant! 😊 Hopefully will give us something positive to focus on. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Great idea! I‘ll get my TBR pile together tomorrow. 5y

robinb Why not?? I‘m in!! I don‘t normally do readathons, but pick your own challenge? Sounds like fun! Thanks for the tag! 💕 5y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! I love these type of readathons!! Thanks for hosting another one!! 5y

Librarybelle This sounds like fun! Thanks for tagging me! 5y

Johanna414 I‘m in! I really enjoyed the last one, and could use the motivation to finish a few titles I‘m lagging on! I‘ll have to think a little on my goals for this one... 5y

Clwojick Thanks for the tag! You know I‘m always down for a Readathon! I‘m thrilled that there‘s been more recently. I‘ll have to figure out my goal.... maybe I‘ll shoot for something less extreme than usual. I haven‘t been making my goals lately. 😅 5y

mhillis Thank you!! I‘ll be there! 5y

Lesanne Oh goody! Thanks for the tag, I‘ll start thinking about my goals now. I love the set your own goals format! 😊 5y

AllisonM89 I'm in! 5y

janeycanuck Ooh, great idea! I‘m in. Just need to think about some goals. 5y

CarolynM Thanks for thinking of me🙂 5y

margreads Good idea!! 5y

Texreader I‘m in! It‘s going to be a crazy busy time for me (plus my birthday in there) but I love your set-your-own goals readathon. So thinking, thinking, thinking...what do I want my goals to be? I‘ll have fun thinking that one up. Thanks for the tag!! 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sounds good! I will likely go light on goals this time around. I have a BBQ for one SIL on Sunday then my other SIL wants to visit next Saturday and I'm also manager coverage at work a few days next week. 5y

When the World Didn't End: Poems | Caroline Kaufman

Managed to get through a fair amount of books during the #easterextravaganza readathon! I wanted to read volumes 10-14 of Lumberjanes and finish at least 2 other books and I was super close to my goal, but I didn‘t manage to read the last volume of Lumberjanes. Thanks for hosting @Andrew65

Andrew65 Fantastic, well done. 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂😊 Thanks for playing along. 5y

#easterextravaganza wrap up

My goal was to read/listen to 1,098 pages and I made it to 1,174. It helped that I had Friday off unexpectedly. 😊

I wrapped up 1 book, read 2 entirely, read 2 novellas, read 2 short stories, and started 2 more.

Thank you for organizing @Andrew65 !

Andrew65 That‘s great, well done 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂😊 Thanks for playing along. 5y

Extravaganza: A Joke Book | Gordon Lish

Yesterday got away from me a bit. I had two zoom book group meetings and also got outside for a while. So my update is late and also not terribly successful in terms of stated goals, but I did finish two other books.

1. I made a little progress with #bookspin and #authoramonth but this week should be better. (Maybe?)

2. I made #audiobook progress but will still have plenty for #40miles20hours and have another queued.

Andrew65 That is still a good success! Well done. 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂 Thanks for playing along. 5y

This gave me the motivation I needed to focus more on my reading again. Finally finished Shudder Again, read a little of Once Upon A Curse, and made it past the halfway point in Ruthless Gods. Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 🙂📚✨

The Handmaid's Tale | Margaret Atwood

Thank you @Andrew65 for hosting the #EasterExtravaganza and @SumisBooks for giving us an Easter egg hunt. Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for hosting #Bookspin!
You all helped me check some boxes this week - I got this book off of my shelf after almost 3 years & finished it! I read for 16 hours and 18 minutes. I read a book with a female character, an A on the cover, and To Be inside.
I wasn‘t a fan of this book, but now it‘s off my shelf!

Andrew65 A great success, well done. 👏👏👏🙌 Thanks for playing along. 5y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 5y

PaperbackPirate Thank you @Andrew65 ! 5y

That's a Wrap!: The Step-by-Step Guide to 29 Easy and Elegant Head Wrap Styles for Women in Chemotherapy | Lou Gideon

#EasterExtravaganza wrap up

Goal 1: finish House of Hades and Nancy Drew #53 - done and done
Goal 2: work on audiobook - not even a minute
Goal 3: read at least two other books - yes and no; read one bad romance and most of a good one, but didn‘t finish before the end of the readathon

Overall about a 50% success rate, but I‘m ok with what I accomplished. With life as crazy as it is right now, any reading time is a plus.

Andrew65

Andrew65 Well done on all that you achieved. 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂 Thanks for playing along. 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Sounds like 8 days well spent if you ask me! Nice job! 5y

Maybe I'm a bit late, but here's my final update for the #EasterExtravaganza (thank you again, @Andrew65 , for hosting this readathon!)
Sooo.. I finished Anna Karenina 💪🏻and read two books (La misura del tempo e A Discovery of Witches) 💪🏻💪🏻; my original plan was also to read a graphic novel, but I couldn't make it 🙁, maybe next time..
Over all I'm very happy with my results 🥳😊

Andrew65 A fantastic success, well done. 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂⭐️ Thanks for playing along. 5y
