Dr. Andy | 10329 comments April Read-a-thon!
Welcome to our second read-a-thon!

This will start on April 1st (starting at your midnight time zone) and will end on April 5th (ending at your midnight time zone). This will be a task related read-a-thon.

The goal is to read as many books related to the number 4 as possible!

Possible ways for a book to count: 4 in page count, 4 in publication date (Day, month or year), 4 words in the title, Number 4 in title, 4 of a particular letter in the author and title, Number 4 in series, part of a 4 book series, etc.

What you need to do in order to participate:
Step 1 - Sign up on this thread!
Step 2 - Post your progress each day!
Step 3 - Have fun and read lots of good books!

Q: How do I post my progress for each day?
A: You can post however you really want. Here is an example:

Wednesday: The Kingdom of Back- Counts as 4 words in the title

Thursday: The Kingdom of Back- Counts as 4 words in the title (FINISHED) The Vanishing Deep - Counts by 4 E's in title/author.

Friday: Nothing read today :(

Saturday: The Vanishing Deep - Counts by 4 E's in title/author (FINISHED), Wicked Saints Counts for published in April (FINISHED)

Sunday: Woven in Moonlight - Counts for 4 in page count (FINISHED)



Total Books: 4!
Books Read: Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1) by Emily A. Duncan , Woven in Moonlight (Woven in Moonlight, #1) by Isabel Ibañez , The Vanishing Deep by Astrid Scholte , The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu


Anyone is welcome to join! How many books do you think we can read?
