This thread lists which books were read during the 2015 Readathon(s) - and this thread will also list the ones covered in 2016. These books are not necessarily completed on the Readathon dates but are ones being read during the readathon time period. Readers will continue reading them after the Readathon if they did not finish them. We will also make a list of authors for each readathon with subtotals and final tallies of books read and authors selected to date.
