Read-a-Thon: Let's Get Ready to Read!!
Are you ready??? It's almost Read-a-Thon time. What the heck is the Read-a-Thon? It's an international book blogger community event in which bloggers set aside a single day to read and share their experience with others.
If you cannot schedule the entire day for reading, then read for whatever time you have or--like me--be a cheerleader. The Read-a-Thon doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing deal. Participate at whatever level you want. I plan to lend moral support throughout the day, cheering on the readers whenever I get the chance.
Last spring, I decided to be a cheerleader, and I had the absolute best time. If you've never cheered before, check out my Tales of a Cheerleader from April 2009. Cheering is so much fun and is an easy way to get involved.
I'm dusting off my pompoms and taking my uniform out of storage . . .
Rah, rah, bloggers
Turn that page!
You can do it
Just engage!
Hummm. I think I need to take some cheer-writing lessons from Softdrink . . .

I can't wait to have you as a cheerleader! I doubt I will have the Twitter turned on, but will do my best to participate in the mini-challenges! This is going to be FUN!
I like your cheer! I am sure it will help me as a read :)
That's a terrific cheer! Yea for Read A Thon!
Love the cheer! I am ready for the readathon although it probably won't be a 24 hour event for me with an infant in the house,lol! But I'll try to squeeze whatever reading time I can out of the 24 hours.
I plan on being an unofficial cheerleader. I have a lot going on next weekend, so I will not be able to participate as much as I'd like but I hope everyone else has fun!
Uh oh! Are you about to break Twitter again? :)
Have fun!
You always have so much fun. I won't be able to participate this year as a reader or cheerleader, but may drop in from time to time.
I'll be cheering everyone on too!
Have fun being a cheerleader! This is my first time participating and I am really looking forward to reading so much!
I think you get bonus points for using multi-syllable words in your cheer. ;-)
So glad to know that you're going to be cheerleading again! It wouldn't be the same without you. I'm thinking the same thing as Nicole: are you going to break Twitter again? ;)
I'm so glad you are cheerleading again. It means a lot to readers to get those messages. I volunteered to do four hours this time. I'm looking forward to it.
Have fun, Beth! And happy reading to all!
You are the best cheerleader! I bet the participants will be happy to have you in their corner!
I'm glad you'll be cheering again. This will be my first year as an official cheerleader!
i'll be in and out of the house the day of the 'thon but intend to cheer on readers when i can. i'll even pull my hair into a high ponytail and add a jaunty ribbon!
Great cheer! I'm going to be a cheerleader this year, and I'm looking forward to it!
Okay, that is a pretty fantastic cheer! I'm going to have to work on some of those. I cheered for the Fall 'thon and had so much fun! However, I was getting kind of jealous of all the wonderful reading that was going on, so this time around I'm going to attempt to do both. Yay for over achievers!
Yay!!! I love it when you cheer. I hope you have your back-up Twitter account ready! :D
**waves pom poms**
Go team! Looking forward to seeing you lead the charge tomorrow :)
