    This is where you can chatter randomly about the Read-a-Thon. This will keep (most of) the extraneous chatter out of the sign up and books-read threads.

    Do you have prizes yet? Also, do you have t-shirts?

    All right, pay attention!

    We’ve been absolutely showered us with prizes. I’ve lost count of how many books we’ve got coming. Some of them are sets and signed copies. It’s unbelievable!

    Anyway. Given the showers of blessing on our efforts, we need to shove this program over the edge and multiply it. Simply put, we need more participants! And there’s only one way we’re going to get more participants… promotion!

    We need you! We’ve got to get the word out about this program. So start talking, anywhere and everywhere!

    Every little bit counts. Our greatest weapon is social media, so even the smallest status message can help. Post on Facebook, Buzz, Twitter (use #readathon5 as a hashtag), whatever you’ve got. If you have a Facebook page for your business, please consider posting from there, too!

    In addition to chattering it up, blog posts would be extremely helpful. Those of you with blogs, please consider posting on our behalf! Below I’ve pasted a sample post with all the pertinent information. Feel free to plagiarize it.

    And remember, we have a lovely assortment of graphics, designed for us by the talented Vilisse from Holy Worlds, for your use! If you have a website, please consider posting one of these images in your sidebar. https://incredibooks.com/read-a-thon/promote-the-read-a-thon/

    Thanks, everyone! Let’s get the word out!

    Here’s a sample post you can feel free to copy if you like:

    This summer, grab a book or twenty and sign up for this year’s coolest reading program!

    The Read-a-Thon is back for its 5th year, and it’s bigger than ever! Join the unified forces of Incredibooks and Holy Worlds for a race to read the most pages between June 13th and August 13th. There’s a delightful stash of prizes – including books from Donita K. Paul, Bryan Davis, Jill Williamson, Answers in Genesis, and more! Sign up on any of the participating forums before June 30th to win! All ages welcome.

    Please visit https://incredibooks.com/read-a-thon/rules/ to read the complete rules. Check this page to find the sign-up lists: https://incredibooks.com/read-a-thon/sign-up/

    Interested? Please help us spread the word! https://incredibooks.com/read-a-thon/promote-the-read-a-thon/

    See you there!

    So it begins: https://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/read-a-thon-2011-page-counts

    If you’re seeing this after the Read-a-Thon has begun, you have until June 30 to sign up. Come on and join us!

    By the way, we have updated the prizes page lately as we’ve started to get some prizes in. :-)

    I have one question.. Do Literature textbooks count? I have a Literature book for school that I need to finish up during the summer. :) It’s full of either excepts from classics or short stories.

    If you’re actually reading whole pages, count it! :-)
