Hour Zero: Welcome to the #24in48 Readathon – January 2017 Edition

It’s here! It’s time!

Welcome to the January 2017 edition of #24in48! Right now, it’s midnight ET on the official readathon clock, but we’re kicking things off with a bang. If you’re just now discovering the ‘thon or have been unsure of your weekend plans, you can still sign up and do so throughout the weekend.

A few notes as we get started:

  1. If you’re planning on reading a full 24 hours (or even just trying to get close), make sure you track your time. You can do this a number of ways but the preferred method is with a stopwatch on your phone or computer or the new Bookout app for iOS devices (per a helpful readathoner). If you finish 24 hours of reading, you’ll be eligible to win one of three prize packs, including one just for non-US participants.
  2. There is ZERO pressure to read for a full 24 hours. Seriously, guys. This is the fifth year I’ve been doing this thing, and I say every time, this is supposed to be fun and low pressure. The goal is to set aside some serious time to read with other like-minded readers.
  3. Take a break, get some sleep, eat well. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
  4. Make sure that your sign-up entry is correct (including email and social media/blog URL). If you’re not active on that social platform during the ‘thon, you won’t be able to win any of the amazing prizes we’re giving away. By URL I mean, don’t just type “Twitter” or “Facebook.” I need to be able to find you, so list your username or the URL of your feed (i.e. http://twitter.com/24in48readathon). If you need to update your entry, you can do so by going through the link you received in your confirmation email. If you didn’t get an email and need to update your entry, email me ASAP at 24in48readathonofficial@gmail.com.
  5. If your name is announced as either a door prize winner or a challenge winner, go over to the Prize page and fill out the form. If you don’t check in there, you’ll miss your shot to win.
  6. Follow the conversation (which honestly is my favorite part of the ‘thon) on social media. I’ll be posting from @24in48readathon on Twitter, on the official Facebook page, and @24in48 on Instagram and Litsy. You can – and should – use the official hashtag #24in48 everywhere as well.

I’ll be posting here every three hours with challenges and door prize giveaways, so check in early and often.

Let’s start off with an intro survey so we can all get to know each other. Post your answers (or a link to your answers) in a comment below:

  1. Where in the world are you reading from this weekend?
  2. Have you done the 24in48 readathon before?
  3. Where did you hear about the readathon, if it is your first?
  4. What book are you most excited about reading this weekend?
  5. Tell us something about yourself.
  6. Remind us where to find you online this weekend.

Three people who complete the survey will win their choice of prize. You have until the midway point, Hour 24 at midnight ET tonight, to enter.

Happy reading, ‘thoners!

  36. Where in the world are you reading from this weekend?

    I’m in the SF Bay Area.

    Have you done the 24in48 readathon before?

    I have and it’s one of my favorites. I love the pacing of it and how easy it is to do without wrecking myself for the week ahead. 😂

    Where did you hear about the readathon, if it is your first?

    What book are you most excited about reading this weekend?

    I want to read Vol 1 of The Wicked + The Divine and finish Hope in the Dark. Other than that, I will just be grabbing whatever grabs my fancy.

    Tell us something about yourself.

    I will be splitting my reading time this weekend with the local Women’s March. Hoping to maximize both events.

    Remind us where to find you online this weekend.

    1. I’m reading in southern Arizona!

    2. I participated for the first time last July.

    3. I heard about the readathon the first time on Litsy.

    4. I’m most excited to read Thin Air by Michelle Paver!

    5. I broke my toe last year when I slammed my foot into the coffee table I couldn’t see because of the huge armload of books I was trying to carry to the couch. I was going to read a bit from each book to see which one I wanted to read next. I got a lot of strange looks when I told my coworkers that it was a book related injury.

    6. I’ll be posting on Litsy @BekahB

    I am reading in beautiful Huntington Beach, CA where we are being buffeted by rain and wind at the moment. yay, end the drought!

    This is my first 24in48 and I do not remember where I heard about this!

    I am really excited to finish A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which I started this past week.

    I am pretty much of a nature girl and can’t wait to get back to trail walking after this derned rain stops…see above 🙂

    I’m a coffee/tea drinker, book blogger, and dachshund spoiler. (Yeah, I’m still not sure who’s the pet.) I suffer from intense ice cream deficiency. And, when my supply is depleted, you can find me in a fetal position, questioning the meaning of life.
