There are 3 ways to earn extra points during our read-a-thon.

1. The average books read during a weekend Read-A-Thon are 3 to 5 books. So if you read 3+ books, you will receive 1 point

2. The average pages read during a weekend read-a- thon are around 800+pages. So if you read 800+ pages, you will received 1 point. If you read over a 1000+ pages, you will receive another point.
REMEMBER All Pages Read during this weekend count. So give an account of pages read each day.

3. If you completed 2 originial tasks (bonus points don't count) during our Read-A-Thon, you will receive 1 point.

Have Fun this weekend and I hope we all find time to read. :D

Thank You Everyone for making our first read-a-thon a success! : D

Bethany | 331 comments Woo! That was fun, all!

Linda C (libladynylindac) | 988 comments Not sure I followed the rules for a Read-a-thon. Looks like you enter the number of pages read each day in whatever you are reading. I'll know for the next one.
However, this worked out OK since I read a different book each day and just completed the whole thing and recorded it.
I'm all for doing it again.
