I always struggle to come up with a list of goals for a readathon, but I love achieving them so I will get through this. I have decided to set mainly non-reading goals (sounds silly, i know, but I will be reading!) and just swear off telly and homework for a week.
Goals:
Post daily updates of progress
Participate in 4 challenges
Visit other blogs every day
Tweet at least a little bit

The Great Gatsby
Disobeying Hitler
Emma (at least start the darn thing. I strongly dislike Austen)
TBR List: Possible others

It looks like you have lots of great reading ahead of you. I hate to admit this but I’ve never even tried Austen myself. Good luck with this read-a-thon and have fun!
Thankyou! I am looking forward to this BOB! I am excited to be able to start soon! Lots of Austen lovers out there, but I’ve found few romances I like
Looks like there’s some good reading coming up tonight! Good luck with the read-a-thon 🙂
Thankyou! I have enjoyed the first day – and finished a book, which is always nice!
Every time I try to read Austen I usually take lots of breaks. 🙂 I haven’t tried Emma yet, though I did see and loved BBC’s Emma last year.
Happy reading!
Yep – I think reading it over this whole week and taking lots of breaks is the way to go! I haven’t watched the BBC’s Emma, but the movie Clueless is a modern day retelling of Emma, and boy did I watch clueless a million times as a teenager! I’m hoping that will help me through the Austen agony
You know I never knew that, but now that you mention it I can so see the Clueless/Emma likeness!
Good luck with Emma!
