I will definitely participate! I don't know how many books I'll be able to read, but I will try my best!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's cool. I'll have tro join in. I don't know what my goal would be. I know I would end up no where near you though, I'm kind of a slow reader. Time to make a list. :)
ReplyDeletewhoa!this is fun. i think i'll might join if clear some time for it ;p it might goes no where but i would like to try ;p
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome, I'm in!
ReplyDeletei'm in too! i haven't made a dent on my list of books to read this summer and it's already been a week and a half, yikes! i need this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I would enter if I didn't have a huge paper due lol. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI might just join you, I have tons of bloggy stuff to do, but if I get everything I want done during Bloggiesta I should have plenty of time to devote to Mount TBR next week :)
ReplyDeleteHave plenty of TBR so will try.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to participate. I've been wanting to do a read a thon for some time now.
ReplyDeleteOoh this is so exciting. I love readathons and this one is one I will definitely be taking part in.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like fun times, since I will already be reading lots next week. Thanks for hosting this.
ReplyDeleteTotally in! Hopefully I can get through these ARCs and Books for some author buddies.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, good luck! I am really tempted to try some of these read-a-thons but I have no idea what my capabilities are :D LOL.
ReplyDeleteI want to do this, but chances are I'll end up with a couple grandchildren in the week, and they TAKE ME AWAY FROM MY BOOKS. The little angels. :)
ReplyDeleteUnless....would children's books count along with our own?
I was just thinking that I needed another readathon to help kick my TBR pile's butt. I'm definitely in! I think I'll aim for at LEAST 7 books, 10 if my work schedule is light.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely join in, however your goal of 15 books in 7 days, is not something I can match. I have a lot of very long books (500-800 pages). I do not know what my goal will be yet. I will need to go through my shelves.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely in! It will be a great primer for the challenge that's starting on my blog a week later, the Summer Slimdown.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'd really like to participate. Only problem is I have family coming in town... Maybe I'll just do a little reading when I can.
ReplyDeleteI am SO in. My goal is going to be 15 books as well. I'm going to aim for my thinner review books and MG books as well as graphic novels.
ReplyDeleteI'm prepping for a cross country move, so this was already something I was planning and doing, but I'll reset the clock today.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to shoot for 25 books. Well, I have a lot of free time next week, LOL.
Wrote about this on my blog, so hopefully GothamGal.net readers will see this and participate as well!
Good luck to everyone.
I am in. I love read a thons and my TBR mountain keeps getting bigger
ReplyDeleteSounds like just what I need to catch up on my reading! Will post about it later...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be finishing the school year this coming week, so I may not get in as much reading time as I'd like, but my TBR pile is turning into a bit of a mountain. Depending on the weather, I bet that I could bust out a few titles. I'm always up for a challenge!
ReplyDeleteI totally wish I could take three days off from work and participate more- I'll have to see how much I get done in the time that I'm home!
ReplyDeleteAh I was going to take a week off from reading. It's all I've been doing lately. 41 books in the last month. Maybe I can get my house in order over the weekend and then take part ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join you in this readathon. I'm still working next week, but I'll do my best and I will do lots of reading over the weekend when I'm officially on summer break!
ReplyDeleteIll definitely be reading. I will have to come up with some sort of list and goal this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the readathon! I would participate but after Bloggiestaing this weekend I really shouldn't. :)
ReplyDeleteI have tons and tons of stuff on my TBR pile and I have almost cleared up all of my library things with due dates pile, so I want to try, but I gotta work from1-5....can I participate for only part of the day.
ReplyDeleteDon't want to name a goal because I might be really depressed if I don't reach it, but it is 5+ books..ha, guess I just named one. Thanks, this is awesome!

Found you and your blog via Review From Here...love it !!! Can't believe I haven't found it until now. Am a new follower and will be signing up for the Read-A-Thon. Not sure how many books I'll read but will enter as to how many hours I spend reading this week. Am so excited that I found your blog and the Read-A-Thon!!

I read a lot during the week anyway, and the next few days are pretty free... so I am in for this readathon!
ReplyDeleteCount me in - sounds like just the thing for cold wet winter days.
ReplyDeleteNo idea of how many books, that will depend on choice.
I'm in too. I don't have a set goal per say. I am challenging myself to read more during the week. Work has been taking it out of me and I have only been reading on the weekends. Here is the link to my post.

I'm in I'm hoping to read five books which is not a lot but still more then I read now. Thank you so much for hosting...
ReplyDeleteI would love to join but I'm busy since Thursday... and I have a lot schoolworks left untouched. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI think I should try to finish at least 2 books.
A-week long's readathon?? Sounds super-fun!
ReplyDeleteOK; I'm in like Flynn! I have LOTS of review books and some just plain "I want to read this books", so, even though I'm working too, I will shoot for seven, including one audiobook, "Innocent" by Scott Turow. Aim low .. that's my motto!
ReplyDeleteJulie @ Knitting and Sundries
P.S. I'll post this up soon on my blog; will need to put together my list so I can strikethrough as I go!
Love the idea! and even though I am late I am going to sign up.
ReplyDeleteI wish -- but today is the 16th. Only way I could read so many books is to go visit my one-year-old grandson's home and grab a bunch of his books to read. Heh heh.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss the start date...
