The Spring Into Reading 48 Hour Read-A-Thon

Hey fellow readers of the world:)
In January we will kick off our The Spring Into Reading 48 Hour Read-A-Thon!!!!  It would be great to have everyone participate but if you can't there is always next year:) Also feel free to invite other people to join our book club so they can participate in it as well!

What is it?
It will start at 8:00 pm  on Friday and it will end at 8:00pm on Sunday . The goal is to read as many books as you can in 48 hours. You may take breaks to rest your eyes, eat, drink, take a shower or go to the bathroom, or do anything else you want/need to do.


There will also be various challenges you can complete by reading books during the Read-A-Thon.
I hope you will join us for The Spring Into Reading 48 Hour Read-A-Thon!

Start Date: Friday, April 17th at 8:00 pm
End Date: Sunday, April 19th at 8:00 pm

If you are not a part of the book club we would still love for you to participate. Just comment down below your name and where you will be doing updates (YouTube,Twitter, Goodreads, Tumblr, a blog, instagram, facebook, etc.)  Also we would love for you to join our book club:)

Happy tales and readings,
Jordan

Beginning Questionnaire:

Reading Sprints:

What are they?

They are when you read as much as you can in 30 minutes and when we all are reading together.

I will be hosting reading sprints every four or five hours on our  Twitter page @RIBTLbookclub!!! 

Feel free to follow our twitter so you can know when they are and participate in them.

I realize because of all of the different time zones that not everyone will start and end at the same time, so I will do enough sprints where everyone can at least participate in a few of them. 

Twitter:

Our new twitter @RIBTLbookclub  is now up and running! Follow us so you can be updated and stay connected during the Read-A-Thon.
