   You’re doing both read-a-thons I thought about it, but in the end I decided to participate only in the one I had already signed up for, and that one was the Ready, Set, Read-Athon

   Good luck with you’re reading, you’re already doing great!

     Thanks! Had I’d seen the Labor Day RAT first, I probably wouldn’t have signed up for both. I’m off on Monday, so the longer one was more appealing to me.

     Good luck.

     Thanks! Yes, a long weekend — perfect for reading, especially if the weather’s iffy and you have no other plans except relax and enjoy the time off from work.

   That’s a good idea to set a goal for the number of hours spent reading! Best of luck!

     Thanks! Setting a time goal helps during the times I’m not reaching page or book goals — if I meet or exceed my time goal, I’ve accomplished something I set out to do.

   Awesome choices! I have the first in the “In Death…” series but have never read it yet. How do you like the series as a whole so far?

   Thanks for joining in the RSReadathon!

     Thanks! And you’re welcome!

     The “In Death” series is pretty good — gritty, often dark, but still has it’s moments of humor. It’s like watching a police procedural drama, one that still takes time to explore the romantic relationship between the main couple.

   Good luck on both of the readathons!
   I haven’t heard of any of your books before but I hope that they’re all brilliant! And I love that you’ve set a goal for how many hours you’ll read for.
   Hope it all goes well!

     Thanks! I picked books that count towards some reading challenges I hope to do better on, or complete, this year.

     Good luck!
