Below is the schedule for current and upcoming Read-a-Longs. Sign-ups to participate in the read-a-longs will be posted a week or two before the starting date. You may want to subscribe to this blog by e-mail or Reader (both options available in the right hand column) so you don’t miss updates and sign-ups.
Want an alert when we’re getting ready to start another read-a-long? Sign up to be added to the e-mail read-a-long reminder list. You will get one e-mail 1-2 weeks ahead of time, alerting you that we are getting ready to start a new read-a-long, and reminding you of the title of the book. You can be removed from the notification list at any time by replying to the latest e-mail from Unputdownables.

New! For this year’s read-a-longs, I’ve changed something (it’s also noted in the ’How it Works’ section). For each read-a-long there will be a correlating giveaway at the end (not necessarily anything fancy, just a little something fun each time), and you will only be eligible to enter if you have completed the entire read-a-long for that particular book. Just a little more incentive to keep on plugging away during those tricky bits!
