Random Read-A-Thon: Come Read With Us!

Random Read-A-Thon: Come Read With Us!

Welcome to the Random RAT!

A lot of great things come from Twitter conversations and this read-a-thon is no different. Bex has let me know – not so subtly *glances at whip* that she wants a read-a-thon and that it’s my job to make it happen, haha! So here we are! Since this is spur of the moment it’s going to be really informal and the only goal is FUN!

Whatever you’re currently reading is fine – let me say again FUN, FUN, FUN is the Random RAT’s mantra!

Time & All That Jazz

The Random Read-a-thon will be “officially” starting at
 12 AM EST Friday October 19 and running until 12AM Tuesday October 23.
[So basically all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday!]

I say “officially”, because you’re free to start any time! Like, as soon as you’re finished reading this post! ;)

Join Us on Twitter Yo!

♦ You can join us on Twitter with the hashtag #randomRAT!

There’s no mandatory anything that needs doing – this is totally for fun!
Let’s read and chat and be merry!

If you’re reading this weekend–even for just a few hours–you’re still very welcome to join in on he fun!

If you have a blog, feel free to spread the word, and if you want to make a post of your progress that’s cool too, but don’t feel like you have to.

We’re going to plan goodies such as prizes and challenges based on how many people decide to be random with us–as always the more the merrier *puts on crazy hat*

Grab a hat and sign up! :)

    1. Sweet!! Thanks for whipping her Bex!

    2. Don’t know how much time I’ll have this weekend…but I’m in!!

    3. Thanks so much for hosting this! I’m super excited!

    4. I’m in! :) I don’t have much plans this weekend, and I still can’t walk, so may as well read more! I do have to catch up on some more review writing, but then again, i need to catch up on review reading too… Anyhow, should be fun. Random=fun Book Savvy Babe

    5. YAY! I didn’t get as much time as I would have liked for Dewey’s last weekend, so I’m in!

    6. Whaaaat? Sweet! I need to catch up on some reading anyway. I’ll probably just harass you guys on twitter when I get the chance >:)

    7. I’m in! :)

    8. I am here, gonna do it, I have four books to finish for the next two weeks. My goal is to finish three for SURE and get a head start on the fourth, I like Random, random is AWESOME!

      • Whoop! Awesome to see ya. Good luck! I hope I can finish my three, but I don’t dare hope too much, lol! Random is very awesome. :D

    9. I’m all signed up. Thanks for hosting. :)

    10. Yay! I’ve been looking for a read-a-thon! I was busy for the Dewey’s 24hr one last weekend so I’m super excited about this. Thanks for putting it together!

      • Yay! Lol we did too, so we decided to take it in our own random hands ;) I was too busy too sadly, so I need to catch up! Thanks for joining!

    11. Awesome…just happened to stumble across this. I haven’t participated in a Read-A-Thon before, so I’m excited!

    12. Can I sign up even if I don’t have a blog?

      • Oh yes! If you have any other online profile, you can always add that in the link space. :) I don’t know if it works to leave the link space blank, but if you want to you could always just put in our URL or something. ;p

        • Cool, thanks :)

          I joined in, my twitter name is dmr_8888 since I apparently skipped a step to add that in.

          Is that all I need to do? Hopefully I’ll “see” you around twitter :)

          • There’s no real step anyway, just everyone adding it behind the name! ;) But yes, that’s all you have to do! Now you can just read, check out the mini challenges and be random! Haha. We’ll definitely be seeing you around twitter! Yay. :D

            • Thanks for letting me participate!

              I didn’t finish as much as I had hoped – but I picked a really slow book so that was to be expected, but this did help me get further into it, otherwise I think I may still have been on chapter 1!
