Reading Sprints

[Anne ✨]

Drop-in and READ! Motivate yourself to read more by partnering up with fellow PenPal readers for a set time/duration of reading. (no, it doesn't need to be the same book).

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
1. Post here to find someone to sprint with
2. Designate a start time (Use :10 for 10 past the hour, :30 for half past, and so on. (No need to put the hour, as we're all in different time zones).
3. Decide how long you want to sprint for (10 minutes, 15, 30, etc.)
4. Read as much as you can in that time
5. Come back here when you're done and update on pages read and what you think of your current book so far.

Wow, Jazzy, that is AWESOME! I had more of a "paintathon" this weekend (of our bathroom walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinets), -- not nearly as much fun as yours, but I did manage to listen to an audiobook while painting :)

[Jazzy]

Glad you had a great paint-a-thon!

In the group that does these they have one every 3 months, but next time i won't try for as many books!

I'm currently participating in a read-a-thon, so if anyone wants to do some sprints over the next couple of days let me know!
