How do y‘all find out about all these read-a-thons?😭 I feel like I‘m missing out on everything 🥺 haha

Maria514626 I find most of them by chance in my feed. 🤷♀️ @4thhouseontheleft and @StayCurious are hosting #summerfunbingo and #bookspin is going on this summer. Can‘t remember the host. I‘ll look it up. 5y
Maria514626 @TheAromaofBooks is the #bookspin host. 5y
StayCurious You‘re more than welcome to join in on #Summerfun bingo! Let me know and I‘ll provide the sign up link. It goes until August 15. 5y
TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the tag @Maria514626!! Nicole, the other thing I used to do when I first started on Litsy was check the “trending hashtags“ & then see who was hosting those events. So #ReadYourSign is one of the trending hashtags right now & if you visit those posts you can tell that @Clwojick & @meaw_catlady are hosting because everyone is tagging them in those posts - then ask one of the hosts what it's all about!! 😁 5y
TheAromaofBooks I do host #BookSpin, which is a monthly challenge where people make a list of 20 books they've been meaning to read & then every month I draw 2 numbers & everyone tries to read those books from their list. So different from the readathons where folks set their own reading goals & try to achieve them within a certain amount of time. Right now I know that #MidyearRush readathon is going on (@Clwojick). The last weekend of every month is always ⬇ 5y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) #24B4Monday (hosts - @Andrew65 @jb72 @sumisbooks), & recently @sace has started #CYOReadathon at the beginning of each month as well. Those are all challenges where you choose a goal (a certain amount of time or number of pages or number of books - whatever!!) & try to achieve it during the readathon. Hope this helps - just ask around - generally people hosting things love to have more people along for the fun & are very friendly!! 😊 5y
Eggs Thank you for the tag 💖 @wanderinglynn 5y
Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks said it all! 💙♥️🧡 2020 is definitely going to be know. As the year of the #Readathons. There is pretty much ALWAYS something going on! ☺️ I‘d suggest following all the people mentioned above, and search the #Readathon feed whenever you‘re looking for an upcoming event. Usually they‘re announced a few days or even a week ahead. 5y
jb72 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the tag! @SumisBooks holds the #24B4Monday the last weekend of every month. It‘s very relaxed. You set your own goals. Sometimes there is a theme, but it‘s never required to stick to any theme. It‘s all about just reading. Let me know if you have questions. The next one takes place this weekend. 5y
Eggs @Nicole01070 Looks like everyone covered the How-tos on finding readathons-are you new to Litsy? If so, a hearty welcome to you 🥳🎊 5y
Birdsong28 Check out @Andrew65 as he hosts readathons 5y
Sace Thanks for the tag @TheAromaofBooks! I really recommend #bookspin since that happens every month and has felt very low-key for me. There really are Readathons almost constantly 🤣 No one has mentioned it, but @DeweysReadathon will be on October 24th. Who runs #LitsyPartyOfOne now? 5y
Andrew65 @Emilymdxn Is @LitsyHappenings still announcing events? Last post for @LitsyHappenings was 4 months ago, (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @wanderinglynn Totally agree, if you check in with this small group of people you don‘t miss much. We don‘t have a life. 🤣😂🤣😂🤷♂️ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @SumisBooks @Eggs @Clwojick @Meaw_catlady @TheSpineView 5y
Andrew65 As has been mentioned the #24B4Monday Readathon takes place the last Friday - Sunday of each month. And during lockdown I have been doing a nine day Readathon in the middle of the month (Saturday - following Sunday) where you can set your own goals. This has worked well around work commitments so likely to continue whilst people want to take part. 5y
Clwojick @Andrew65 I think I worded it perfectly the other day when I said my whole life revolves around taking part in one Readathon and then obsessively waiting for the next Readathon to start. It‘s a vicious/delicious circle! I think June may have been the best month yet! I‘ve joined 5-6 events (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @Clwojick Ditto! 🤣 Somehow I find time to run a school around these! 5y
Andrew65 @wanderinglynn Thanks for the tag 🥰 5y
AvidReader25 The @DeweysReadathon happens every April and Oct! 5y
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! @wanderinglynn I try to repost info on the readathons and other things that I participate in 5y
DieAReader @Clwojick I‘m definitely on the same 📚track as you! Life is all about 🎶Readathons, Goodreads Group challenges & recently, Buddy Reads too! Focus is the name of the game!🧠 Also, I may fall into @Andrew65 No Life category too🤪🤷🏻♀️ 5y
