The rules are pretty straight forward:
*Read as much as you can between 12:00 AM Friday August 5th until 11:59 PM Sunday August 7th!
*Have a starting line and finish line update
*Update at the end of each day.
We’re trying to keep it simple as this is our first read-a-thon. That means there won’t be any mini-challenges, not 10 update demands every day and you’ll be free to simply read! How great is that? From Friday until Sunday you can read as little or as much as you want!
We aim to please at OUAC so at the end of the read-a-thon there will be a survey open from Monday morning until Tuesday evening asking for your feedback. This is where our prize comes in: one lucky survey entry will win a book of their choice (open internationally as long as the Book Depository ships to your country) of up to $10.00 USD. You get to tell us what you think AND have the chance to win a book. Awesomeness, yes?
Want to join OUAC’s first ever read-a-thon?! Fill out the form below!

Those dates are my b-day weekend and I know the boytoy is planning stuff for that weekend, so I wont be able to join. I hope you get a lot of people to join up though. 🙂
Stella (Ex LIbris)
Sounds great! The only problem is that I'll be on vacation with no internet connection on Friday, can I do a joint update of day #1 and #2 when I get home on Saturday?

Awesome. This is the first weekend I have free after my graduate class is over. I think the boyfriend and I are going on vacation, but vacation is the perfect time to read. I'll definitely participate! 🙂

This sounds so fun! I read all the time, but weekends are when I hunker down and read all day. (I do stop to feed my kids. Sometimes.)

Not sure if I signed up already – so maybe I'm there twice now. :-)I don't know that I can update every day, but I will see how it goes. I might be away some of the time. Thanks for organising and have fun!

I hope it is not too late to sign up, I only saw this now! Since I have no child for the weekend, it is the perfect time 🙂

Hope I am not too late, so I filled out the form and did a quick blog post. I have had a lot going on for the past month, and have not been online much, so I have not been keeping up with blogs that I follow. I finally had a few minutes today, and saw s tarting post on someone's blog, and really wanted to sign up. I spent a few hours reading after midnight last night, so I guess I started then, I just didn't know it yet….lol!http://lusravesandrants.blogspot.com/2011/08/stephanie-at-once-upon-chapter-hosting.html
