/ˈmarəθ(ə)n/
noun
*a long-distance running race, strictly one of 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km).
*a long-lasting or difficult task or activity

Just Do It! is definitely a long-lasting and can be difficult task/activity so we want to help you out by running regular Read-a-thons throughout the year. It involved a lot of reading, of course, but even if you can't read 24-7, please don't let that stop you in joining in. Just put that little extra push for reading time for that week and that's all we ask of you. This can be cooking in advance for the week so you only have to reheat; save time cooking = more time reading ;)

Each Read-a-thon session may have additional tasks and/or twists so please read each session thread carefully. Otherwise, it's Read! Read! Read!

Timetable:

Read-a-thon #1: Last week of February (23-29 Feb)

Read-a-thon #2: Last week of April (23-30 Apr)

Read-a-thon #3: Last week of June (23-30 Jun)

Read-a-thon #4: Last week of August (24-31 Aug)

Read-a-thon #5: Last week of October (24-31 Oct)

Read-a-thon #6: First 2 weeks of December for a sprint to complete all Prompts (1-15 Dec) ~only if there's interest...

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry, I forgot we're supposed to have a read-a-thon in the last week of October!! I got too distracted with a team challenge in another group this year... didn't want to let them down. I didn't expect it to take over my life which was what it did. yikes! Thankfully, that's done now.

Anyone keen on a read-a-thon sprint to complete any JRI! reads left? first 2 weeks of Dec?

yes please!

yes please like Tien i forgot the last one

I have 2 books to go on JRI and am trying to finish up two other groups this month...so yes!

And I thought I missed it! Glad to see we'll have on in Dec. I'm gonna need it. ;-)

Yesplease! I need a kick in the pants.

Yes, but can it also include other things since I've finished JRI?

Sure, Joanna. We can open it to 'push for finishing any challenge/s left in the year'
