Here’s the thing about reading: it’s (usually) a fairly sedentary activity. So if you’re finding yourself fading, might we suggest you get up and move around a bit? Do some stretches, take a walk (bring an audiobook along if you want to try to cram in more reading time while you’re out and about!), find a new spot to curl up with your book. It’s easy to get lost in the pages and forget about that crink in your neck until it’s too late to stop the crink from becoming a full-blow crank.

Ok, now that we’ve all stretched a bit, why don’t we reward ourselves with a few more door prize winners? This round of prizes is brought to you by Little Brown and Company, and our winners will win a copy of one of the following titles:

🎁 The Vexations, 🎁 Chaos, 🎁 Summer of ’69, 🎁 A Door in the Earth

Pendra Nachteule	Grace Raymond	Maggie Burns
Camille Bethune-Brown	Chelsea Outlaw	Caitlin Viccora
Melissa McClure	Arin Thompson	Katie (kmdbookworm)
Kristina Reid	Kristen Northrup	Lynette Burnett
Jessica Berg

For our international winners, you’ll be able to pick between a $15 gift card to your choice of Amazon, Book Depository, or Wordery.

Congrats to each of you! Keep an eye out for an email from us to claim your prize.

Before you go, don’t forget to enter the Hour 36 Challenge for more chances to win great prizes, which is open until Hour 42 for submissions! Want to win a door prize yourself? All you have to do is be sure you’re officially signed up for the July #24in48 and are actively participating online somewhere we can see you!

We’re back around to 9am for two out of three of your co-hosts, which means we’re staring down another whole day of nothing but ‘thon. These morning hours (EST) are some of my favorites of the entire 24in48 because all three of your co-hosts are awake and working together behind the scenes, and so many readers across the world are reading, reading, reading in their respective time zones. It’s just so FUN, y’all!

Are you also having as much fun as we are? If not, what do you need to turn your weekend around? More prizes? Ok then! We can do that.

Ok, friends. We’ve made it up to and through the halfway point of this weekend. It’s currently 3am for co-hosts Kristen & Kerry, and 9am for Rachel. (K&K are probably asleep right now; Rachel is steering the ship while we get our beauty rest.)

This is about the time that people tend to really need some motivation to keep going, power through, and read on, so here’s a reminder that even if you aren’t going to make a full 24 hours of reading (I know I won’t!), you’ve still got most of an entire day ahead of you to make books and reading and this community (and naps and snacks and whatever else makes you the happiest) your priority.

Listen to Leslie Knope. She knows what she’s about.

And in case that wasn’t enough motivation for you, how about some more door prize winners? This round of door prizes is brought to you by Penguin Random House Audio. Winners will randomly receive one of these audio titles:

📙 Someone We Know | 📗 The Lager Queen of Minnesota

For our international winners, you’ll be able to pick between a $15 gift card to your choice of Amazon, Book Depository, or Wordery.

Hour 27 Door Prize Winners:

Stephanie Dawson

Megan Ford

What? You thought this would be the #24in48 where I managed not to draft a post entirely filled with Doctor Who gifs? Pssh. No way. Never going to happen.

So, since The Doctor is in, as it were, let us know how things are going! Are you hanging in there? Crushing your goals? Struggling and needing a bit of encouragement? Ready for a nap? (I know I am…)

Wherever you are in your #24in48 journey, this is a reminder that you (yes, you!) are doing a great job. Whether you’ve read for 21 seconds, 21 minutes, or 21 straight hours, you’re making reading a priority in whatever way works for you, and that’s an amazing thing!

Be kind to yourself, and give credit where credit is due.

And remember…

But before you go forth to do the thing, how about some more door prizes?

Your two EST co-hosts (Kerry and Kristen) are waking up, coffee-ing, and getting ready to really dive in to this weekend we love so much (meanwhile, co-host Rachel is wrapping up the end of her day on the other side of the world like so many of you, and now that we’re awake in the US, she’ll get a bit of a hosting break so she can actually, you know, read a book).

For those just waking up and getting started, what are you reading first? What are you eating first? What are you most excited about?

For those who’ve been up for hours and have already finished more books than those of us sleepyheads have even considered, what did you read and love? What were your best meals and snacks? What are you most excited about?

Don’t forget that we’re going live on Instagram in just ONE HOUR at 10am EST! Come hang out with Kristen (aka watch her have no clue what she’s doing), and most likely a dog or two.

This hour’s post – which includes our first round of door prize winners! – is brought to you by Coffee House Press, an independent publisher whose mission is create new spaces for audiences and artists to interact, inspiring readers and enriching communities by expanding the definition of what literature is, what it can do, and who it belongs to. Translation: really, really cool books (and more!).

Congratulations to the winners, who will each win a copy of one of these awesome books from Coffee House Press:

📕 The Remainder 📗Socialist Realism 📙 Song for the Unraveling of the World

International winners can pick between a $15 gift card to your choice of Amazon, Book Depository, or Wordery.
