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!

    Hey, all. I’m reading in Pasadena, CA. I’ve done the readathon several times before and I’m a big fan. I don’t actually have a designated reading stack for this weekend, so I’m winging it and looking forward to unearthing something wonderful in the piles and piles of unread books that constantly threaten to take over my apartment. 🙂

    I read for work, so these events are a chance to set aside time to read more just for myself. There’s always crossover though. Unfortunately this weekend I’ve also got a bunch of chores that can’t be put off, so I’m not going to hit 24 hours. Just excited to put in a bit of time, and to see what everyone else is reading.

    I’ll be mostly on Twitter @NepheleTempest and also pop into Litsy from time to time @Nephele. See you around!

    Tell us something about yourself. Well, I’m 25 years old and a big time book lover. I use to read all the time when I was in school, but since graduating reading a book have kind of been put on the back burner for a long time. Two years ago i decided my love for books shouldn’t be last on my list so I picked up the last book i had started reading years ago, and started back reading it. I enjoyed it so much I told myself I wasn’t going to ever go without reading that long ever again.

    2. Have you done the 24in48 readathon before?
    Nope, first timer here, but have done the Dewey’s Readathon before!

    3. Where did you hear about the readathon, if it is your first?
    I think I heard about it through BookLikes, but I can’t really remember where I heard about it from.

    4. What book are you most excited about reading this weekend?
    Waiting for Wednesday by Mari Carr

    5. Tell us something about yourself.
    I’m a stay at home mom that also is a homeschooling teacher to my 8 year old autistic son. Finding reading time is a challenge, but when I do read, I love to read romances!

    6. Remind us where to find you online this weekend.
    I’ll be posting on my blog at https://duskrider3740.wordpress.com/, which will cross post to my Facebook account at https://www.facebook.com/duskrider3740. I’ll also be reviewing on my Goodreads account at https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/5223520-trea

    My boyfriend’s home in the Netherlands. Very cosy and nice.

    No, this is the first one. I like the idea and I like the Dewey’s 24 hour readathon, so I am excited.

    The Dewey’s Readathon Facebook group.

    I have a new book called Nerve, written by Jeanne Ryan.

  42. 1. Athens, Greece
    2. Nope, first time official, though I’ve done it by myself many times over weekends.
    3. A fellow bookworm and newfound friend, though we knew each other for….some years. Another case of books uniting people.
    4. It’s books. I get excited about reading any book. Before I start. Then, it’s either love or hate. First, I’ll be reading Steven Erikson’s Gardens of the Moon though
    5. I love gaming, reading, writing and kickboxing (I’m also a little… banged up this weekend because of that last hobby)
    6. The instagram account I guess. https://www.instagram.com/c.gousetis/
