I'm participating in the next 24in48 Readathon!  Follow along here for my updates.  

Want to learn more?  Read on...
​
The next #24in48 will be taking place on Jan. 27-28, 2018! And I hope you can join us for a weekend full of warm blankets, snuggly pets, stacks of books, and blessed alone time.

If you’re new to 24in48, this is the basic gist: beginning at 12:01am on Saturday morning and running through 11:59pm on Sunday night, participants read for 24 hours out of that 48-hour period. You can split that up however you’d like: 20 hours on Saturday, four hours on Sunday; 12 hours each day; six four-hour sessions with four hour breaks in between, whatever you’d like.

And that’s it. The format never changes but it’s always an adventure.

Have more questions? There’s an FAQ page for that. Also, we’re still accepting donations to help us send more prizes out to international winners through the PayPal donate button on the sidebar.

Ready to join? Fill out the form below and feel free to list any and all of the places you’ll be hanging out online during the ‘thon. Check out who else is participating. If your entry doesn’t immediately pop in to the spreadsheet, give it a few minutes to populate.
​
And you can follow the readathon in all the normal places. We’re on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Litsy (@24in48) and you can use the official hashtag #24in48 everywhere to keep up with your fellow readathon-ers.

Hour 0:
Where are you from, where are you now, and what’s the furthest from home you traveled in the past year?

Have you done the 'thon before? How many times?! If it’s your first time with us, where did you hear about the Readathon?
Just once before and I found out through my friends at Booklikes

Are you readathon-ing alone? If not, who are you doing the Readathon with?
Just me

Do you have a stack, or are you winging it? OR what book are you kicking the Readathon off with?
A stack, kicking off with A Peculiar Courtship
What’s your Hogwarts house?

Not a Harry Potter Fan, sorry :(

Remind us where to find you online this weekend.

Bout of Books
​I'm participating in the Bout of Books Read-A-Thon #21 on January 8-14.  What is Bout of Books?  Read about it here:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.
