We will have an individual game. I'm a bit behind & busy today, but look for it this evening or first thing tomorrow morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Read on for more information about what’s planned and how to join in.
How does this work?
If you’re new to read-a-thons, don't worry! They're very simple. You make a commitment to read as much as you can for a set period of time and then you do it. There will be games, challenges, and discussion associated with the event but, for the most part, it's about reading and camaraderie. This read-a-thon there will be both an individual and team challenge so get ready!
For our read-a-thon, we'll be committing to read as much as we can from Friday March 1 through Sunday March 10.
How much do I have to read?
There isn’t a set amount you are required to read to participate. Many people choose to set personal goals for themselves but the idea is just to read as much as you can for the week and see what you end up with at the end. It’s all in good fun!
When is this happening?
As we have members in lots of different time zones, starting at the same time is a bit confusing so for the read-a-thon you can read all day (in your own time zone) on the first and last days.
START:
Friday March 1. Starting whenever you get up.
END:
Sunday March 10. Finishing whenever you go to bed.
How do I participate?
All you have to do to join up is to read! But read-a-thons are always much more fun if you participate in the games, join the discussion, and track your progress so we strongly encourage everyone to take part in that.
Where do I participate?
Keep an eye on this folder during the Read-a-Thon for updates, progress reports, and more! They'll start being posted closer to (and after) the event starts.
You can sign up now to join the team challenge.
As usual, we'll be posting new games every 24 hours throughout the event in this folder but you'll have the entire read-a-thon to join in if you missed anything. The discussions and games keep the event active and lively so, again, we strongly encourage participation. Come play along and have some fun!
