Abigail Harris (authorabigailkay) I'm hoping to read 5 books.


message 5: by E.F. (new)

E.F. Buckles | 60 comments There are 215 pages left in the book I'm reading. If I keep up a good pace (especially considering both my parents' dental cleanings I'll sit through on Tuesday) I miiiiiight be able to finish it by the end of the week. I'll also get my monthly Audible credit, so 1 and a half books would be the ideal goal for this week.

As I have said before, I am not fast. :P


message 6: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) Great plan, Beth! I love how you're using your parents' dental appointments as reading time. Girl, we're so similar!


message 7: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) Wonderful goals, gals!


message 8: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Harris (authorabigailkay) I read a review book today! :D

Andrea Cox (andreacox) Great job, Paula! Did you ever officially sign up in the "Set Goals" thread? I don't recall getting you linked up over there...


message 12: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) How are those books coming along, folks? It's hard to believe we're on the final day of the first week of ReMo!

There will be a new read-a-thon starting tomorrow, right here in this thread. Watch for the update in this thread tomorrow after church.

Guess I didn’t get notifications on this thread lately. I’ll try to get to seven books this week.


message 18: by E.F. (new)

E.F. Buckles | 60 comments I'm hoping I can finish the physical book I'm reading by Monday at latest. We shall see.


message 19: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) You can do it!!


message 20: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) I missed the end of last week's read-a-thon. Oops!

How did you do?

The next one is Feb 16-22. Go! (and back-date books to Sunday as needed) :)

I’m going to be ambitious and try for ten books this week!


message 22: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) Wow! You go, girl!


message 23: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) I’ve already finished two this week, so I’ll aim for five.


message 24: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) How did you do in week three?

The final weekly read-a-thon is Feb 23-29. How many books are you aiming for in this final week of ReMo 2020?

There is still time to meet your goal. Happy reading, fellow ReMos!


message 25: by E.F. (new)

E.F. Buckles | 60 comments I slowed down a little this past week, but that's part of my normal monthly ebb and flow.

Only two books left to reach my goal, both of which I'm in the middle of. There are several appointments I'll have to sit through this week, so hopefully that will help me get them done by the deadline. I may still have to take a break from my normal schedule one day this week and have a reading marathon, though. I'm such a creature of habit, it's actually hard to make myself do that, but I'll have to wait and see how things are progressing to decide if a marathon is necessary.
