Ilona | 4698 comments Hi all,

I just found out that the Dewey's 24 hour Readathon is next weekend and I am considering to join! It would be a perfect start of my holiday.

It starts at Friday August 2. 8:00 PM EST and ends Saturday 3, 8:00 PM EST. For the Europeans here, this is Saturday 00:00 GMT to Sunday 00:00 GMT.

More information can be found on the website: http://www.24hourreadathon.com/

Is anyone here planning to participate?

Chrissie | 327 comments So, if I've checked this correctly through Google it's 8am (Western Australia time) on Saturday to 8am Sunday? I'm thinking about it.

Yes! Exactly 12 hours ahead of EST.

Thanks! Bit of a silly question - was trying to work it out whilst tired and suffering from a bad head cold.

I'm going to sign up - I don't know if I'll manage the full 24 hours but I can give it a go!

Caro (karopi) | 995 comments It it will start at 1AM CET... mmm I do not think I join this time. I prefer the 24 in 48 Readathons.... They are more fun for me and allow a bit more of flexibility

I don't think I will be able to read for 24h straight as well, but my aim is to read as much as possible Saturday.

Well I can't promise I will read that much since I already have plans for that day but it can be a good try. I have breakfast with a friend booked, that means that I will start around 11 or 12 hours after the official Readathon, but it is always a nice try will get register now! And do not get any other appointments
