Hope everyone had fun with your reads this month. :)
Next read-a-thon is in December.
I been thinking about having a week-long read-a-thon in December.
Let me here your thoughts about it.
Happy anniversary challengeBook 2: For love of my people I will not remain silent

Sounds like a cracking good idea!
I like a long Read-a-thon but I'll bet everyone is going to be busy, busy getting ready for the Holidays. Not sure which week would be good

Many folks are off that week. I think we are, too. Thanks
I will be visiting family that week in December out of town and I read a lot when I'm not at home so that week sounds great to me.
