Does that mean you are joini..."

Yes, please! Sorry my post was a bit vague and rambling.

I'm in! I'll attempt to read a book my daughter really wants me to read and it is on the list of books to read before the movie! The BFG

I'm in. I wanted to read Silently and Very Fast, but I'm not sure I'll have time. As I keep changing books by the second, mine is TBD.

I will read We Should All Be Feminists.

I'll join in and read Of Love and Evil by Anne Rice.

I'll join in too. I have a lot of books on my list and many are over the 150 pages. I'll be reading The Owl Service by Alan Garner.

I've never read the Harry Potter Series in its entirety so I'll read #1 for this challenge and begin reading the others in between other books as they come into the library! happy leap year everyone!

I'm adding The Time Keeper to my February reading for this challenge.

I'm in - with The Last Witness.

Good morning Karina :)

Good to see so many sign up ^^ It will be fun! I'm setting aside the 29th to read ^^

I will read The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.

I'd like to join! I'll read Soundless by Richelle Mead

I'd like to join and read Maus 2 by Art Spiegleman (sorry no link, using my phone goodreads app)

Ooooh I think I'm going to read Don’t Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine!

A great excuse for another book! I'm going to read The Drowning Eyes by Emily Foster

I'm in! I'm going to read Not Like My Mother: Becoming a Sane Parent After Growing Up in a Crazy Family

i'll join. I'm going to go for 3 volumes of the Manga Rosario Vampire
Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 1
Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 2
Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 3

It only takes about an hour for me to read a volume of manga so 3 in one day isn't unreasonable.

Great choice, ReGina! I really liked Chimamanda's essay.

Gabriella, remember that you don't need to read your selection all in one day - you could spread it over two or more days if you need.

Sign me in! Still do not know which book will be but I will go for it!

I'm going to read Breakfast at Tiffany's. Starting today since I will be in a training class for work on leap day.

I'm in! I think I'm going to to read Fantastic Beast and Where to Find them!

I'm going to read

ReGina wrote: "I will read We Should All Be Feminists." Great choice ReGina! :)

Everyone is picking such serious books. I'll be over in my corner alone with my cozy mystery. :)

Well a couple are reading that Harry Potter spin-off book...

But yeah, I can't talk! I'm reading about cancer.

I tried to pick something that I really genuinely can finish in one day, plus it's a TBR. But now I'm wishing I had picked something shorter!

I'm looking forward to 29th February! I will read "Bartleby the Scrivener" by Herman Melville.

Catherine: serious or not, doesn't matter as long as it's something you want to read!:)

Because I have to work on the 29th, I will do my one-day-a-thon on Sunday.

I'll have to do mine on Saturday or Sunday as well.

Winter -- thanks! :)

I'm in. I plan to read That Was Then, This Is Now by S.E. Hinton. My son will be reading it soon in his 7th grade Reading class, so I think it will be a good idea to read it also so we'll be able to discuss it.

I finished Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. I really enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's and can't wait to watch the movie! A few of the others stories left a lot to be desired.

I'll read Night Fire for my one day:) This was a good challenge.

Thanks for this reading challenge! I will try to finish reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James by February 29. I had actually started the book last week but I really didn't have any time to read it intimately so I hope to use the extra time this week to finish it. Thanks!

Complete (hopefully it was ok to read the book before the 29th, haha)! This is my "Sunday" so I'll be working tomorrow through the 29th. I started and finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone byJ.K. Rowling last night and finished this afternoon to celebrate the extra day challenge! Because of this, I also added an extra book to my personal year challenge. Now, I hope to finish 32 books (at least) in 2016!

I will readJourney to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne

I will read "I'll Give You the Sun"

Hi Laura - what a great choice for a book! Good luck with this challenge!

I'm fairly new to Goodreads and still getting my head around all this, hence my (possibly!) impertinent question - but whereabouts did you find the 1001 Books To Read Before you Die list? I'd love to see what I've read on it - and what I still have to read lol!



Laura wrote: "HI. i'm going for The Time Machine Loved both of the films . I don't think I have read the book yet, It's also on 1001 books to read before you die list (or rather 1306 books now)"

Please, please, please put me down for this one too - it sounds like so much fun! I'll just pick a random number (say between 1 and 50) from my bookshelf in the spare room (which has lots of books I haven't read) and go with that one maybe....that could be scary! Actually....to make it properly fair.....does anyone on here want to give me a number? :) First in, I'll post and read the associated title - and I'll even give someone else a random number if they want to do the same!

I'd like to join! I will pick Ethan Frome. It's one I've been wanting to read and it's on my TBR list. I think it will work!

Ooooh now this is a challenge! I will read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

Catty, do you still need a number? I pick number 39.

I'd like to participate! I'm going to try to read Silently and Very Fast

Just a note: while I'm listing the participants, I won't be keeping up with whether you finished or not. I'm only listing the participants and their books so that people can see a list of books for the extra day.
Also, you do not have to read the book on the 29th. The Leap Day was the excuse for this challenge, but really we just wanted a one day challenge. Considering the popularity of this challenge, we might have more:)
I'm so happy to have you all here.

There is a Listopia for it. Here is the link.

We're having a bad winter storm here and there's a rumor my work building might close early ... so I might have some extra reading time today!!! If I do, I can start my challenge book :)
