Thanks to Kathryn for suggesting this thread, and to Jacquelyn from Crazy for Young Adult Books for allowing us to use her idea in our group ☺

The idea of a reading sprint is to find a partner, and then to read as much as you can over a set period of time. 10 minutes, 15 minutes etc.

* Find someone else who wants to sprint,
* Choose a starting time (please use :10 - 10 minutes past the hour, :20 - 20 minutes past the hour etc. as we are all in different time zones ☺)
* Choose how long you will sprint for 5 minutes, to 30 minutes,
* Read as much as you can during the sprint times,
* After the end of the sprint, come back and share with us how much you read ☺

Have fun!
