August 3-16

Sign up is from July 27th to August 2nd

Freshman: 2 hours
Sophomore: 4 hours
Junior: 6 hours
Senior: 8 hours

I know some people are going back to school next month so I was thinking what a great way to start the new school year then with a RAT.

Here is a little break down on the different levels I have posted above

Freshman 2 hours
You can read 2 or more hours a day. I like to break the hours up. Like I might read a hour in the morning and then an hour before I go to bed. So I still end up with two hours. You still can read start through the two hours.

Sophomore 4 hours
You can read 4 or more hours a day. And just like Freshman you can break down the hours. Like read an hour in the morning, maybe an hour after lunch,and two hours before bed.

Junior 6 hours
You can read 6 or more hours a day. Like the other levels you can break the hours down but as long that you still get your 6 hours

Senior 8 hours
You can read 8 or more hours a day. Like the other levels you can break down the hours but as long that you still get your 8 hours


I just hope that helped.

JoAnne (joannemwct) | 1347 comments Do you keep a log for each day? Hours read? book? author? page numbers? rating? etc?

Also, audiobook? Total goodreads/Amazon-listed hours when done before August 16th?

message 22: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Hutchinson (kaylahutchinson) It's my last semester of my senior year of college and will probably be immersed in textbooks, so I think I will just be going for Freshman.
