For those of you who have done a read-a-thon for the this group in the past, this should look familiar. If you're new to this, allow us to explain!
What do I have to do to participate?
If you are interested in participating and can commit to actively engaging in the read-a-thon, then please sign up in the comments below. We have chosen the categories so this group activity is fair and fun for readers of all speeds.
Please only sign up if you can commit to checking in with your team (on Goodreads) at least 5 times during the time from November 21-29.
How many teams will there be?
It will greatly depend on how many people sign up and how much they think they will be able to read. We are targeting 10-13 people per group.
