Beat the Heat Readathon (STICKY Until Sept 6th)


This is the third annual read-a-thon
I participated in 2013, posts can be seen here (intro) and here (progress)

This year I'm going to keep it simple, in one post with the intro and sign-up, and tracking of progress. I missed when this started by a few days but will add progress of general reading to those dates. I'm also in another read-a-thon and this one captured my eye when I was updated a challenge (series points) by A Novel Heartbeat.
