I'm sure that we are all trying to find some semblance of normalcy and end the year with some accomplishments. What better way to make that happen for our 2020 reading goals than another of the group's read-a-thons?
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!
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?
For our read-a-thon, we'll be committing to read as much as we can from Saturday September 12 to Sunday September 20th .
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:
Saturday September 12. Starting whenever you get up.
END:
Sunday September 20. 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.
Those who participate in the individual challenge will be entered to win the opportunity to create a prompt for the 2021 reading challenge. Stay tuned for more info on that activity :D
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!
