National Readathon Day!

I just saw this hashtag on Twitter via Penguin Random House for #NationalReadathonDay. Are any of you curled up with a good book, a blanket and lots of coffee/hot chocolate/tea for the day? :D 

 

If so, what are you planning on Readathoning?

I read for as long as I could before falling asleep in my book.  :giggle: Pretty sure I need to go back a chapter, now, and reread a little. Aw, yeah I guess I didn't even really think "national". They need to make this an international thing.

I'm fairly sure they mentioned on the podcast that there is a charity part to the Readathon, it may even have been a youth literacy charity. If the Readathon could be made international, that would be something pretty special.

Yeah I also thought it was a US thing. I read about 70 pages yesterday, I didn't know about the read-a-thon day until like 5 PM here so it was just a 'normal' day for me. Other than that I did go to the library and borrowed a lot of books, and I bought a few too, so maybe those things count as 'bookish' things.

I think in this particular case, since it was US, the sites didn't post about it until their morning (when the companies wake up), which means it's late afternoon for me and past midnight for you? I don't know, though, but I thought that might be why.
