I never dreamed, when I planned the Summer Reading Blitz, that anyone would want to try to do it as well. I know some people *cough*S. Krishna*cough* can easily read 30 books in a month, but I tend to average 8 or 9 in my good months. But I am really excited that other people are planning to read 30 books in 30 days as well!
I put a list of participants in my Sunday Salon post yesterday, but there are others who have joined in the madness since then. So here is a master list of all participants.
- Vasilly at 1330V
- Brittanie at A Book Lover
- Becky at Becky’s Book Reviews
- Ruth at Bookish Ruth
- Meghan at Medieval Bookworm
- Melissa at Must Read Faster
- M (who is currently taking a blogging break, but is always, always welcome to participate)
- Kay at The Infinite Shelf
- Jennie at Biblio File
- I Heart Book Gossip
- Michelle at See Michelle Read
- Libby at Ramblings of a Bookworm
- Crystal at My Reading Room
- Dreadful Penny
- Katee R. at Katee Robert’s Blog
- Suzanne at Sweet Serenity
I will be updating this list if others join us during the month.

I guess we’re all a little crazy, but at least we’re crazy together!
Shauna said:
I always find insanity to be more fun when I’ve got accomplices.
kay said:
I agree with you two, this is an absolutely crazy challenge – which only makes it more fun! I officially posted about it on my blog, so I guess I can’t go back now
Shauna said:
Welcome to the madness!
Kim said:
Wow, I’m in awe that you guys are going to attempt this. Good luck!!
Shauna said:
Thanks. I for one will need all the luck I can get! I’m already off to a pretty slow start!
S. Krishna said:
Good luck with this! (and thanks for the shout-out!)
Shauna said:
Thanks! You’re easily the most prolific reader I know, and I could never hope to be anywhere near your level. So you were the natural choice for that particular shout-out.
M said:
I’m so looking forward to it! This might be exactly what I need to renew my love of reading and book blogging.
Shauna said:
I hope it helps, but you definitely shouldn’t feel any pressure with this one! I’m trying to re-spark myself as well.
I Heart Book Gossip said:
I want to enter this. I have read about 3-4 already this month.
Shauna said:
Great! Thanks for joining in the madness! Good luck!
Libby said:
Please sign me up! I need a kick to get started – I’m not happy with my progress this summer. (so far!)
I like the idea of this!
Shauna said:
Hope this gives you the kick you need! Good luck, hon!
Crystal said:
I’m in if I can still join – I did 21 last month and already have 3 this month – it’s a stretch – but it will be fun to try!
Shauna said:
Absolutely you can still join! Because this isn’t an official challenge, I’m not going to cut off anyone from joining at any time. Good luck! I’ve already added you to the list of people participating!
Dreadful Penny said:
I’m a late bloomer who would like to join too. (Is it OK if I join now because I’m hoping the 48 Hour Book Challenge will give me a big boost in the right direction?)
Shauna said:
Of course you can still join! This isn’t a real challenge, per se, so there are no restrictions or rules of any kind, really. You can sign up all month! I’m really glad you’re joining us!
Dreadful Penny said:
Oh, and my blog is http://dreadfulpenny.wordpress.com.

I saw that you guys are doing this and couldn’t resist the challenge. I’m keeping track of my list over on http://redqueen1.livejournal.com.
