SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

SOS' 2020 Read-a-Thon
During the month of September, SOS will be hosting a 24-hour Read-a-thon (RAT). We all have a mountainous to-be-read stack we'd love to topple. And, many have yearly challenges that are approaching the ¾ mark. It's time to get those books read!



Not able to spend 24 hours doin' nuthin' but reading? Don't worry, most of us can't either. So, we're shakin' it up a bit and allowing members to tally up their read time to equal 24 hours.

Duration: September 1-30, 2020

Goal: Read for 24 hours during the month of September - easy and simple.

Rules: To make it a bit more exciting, in order for your reading time to count towards your 24, you must choose one of the options below to follow.

Reading Options (hours spent reading each sitting):
⓵ DO NOT DISTURB: One day (24h)
⓶ NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE: Two days (12h)
⓷ WILL WORK FOR BOOKS: Three days (8h)
⓸ SLOW & STEADY: Four or more days (2-7h)

(More detailed explanation can be found HERE)
In order for time to count towards your 24-hours, steady reading must be done for at least 2 or more hours in one sitting.

✣ Sign-up below by stating that you would like to participate in the RAT and include which reading option you will be following. You are welcome to change your reading option at any time during the RAT.

✣ Those participating are welcome to create a RAT thread ( here ) to use throughout the month to share your books, ratings & reviews, chat with friends, etc.

✣ Once you've reached 24 hours, share your results on our FINAL RAT STATS thread.

NOTE: For those who previously participated, you can find your previous RAT threads (2013+) in our archive folders. Click on DISCUSSIONS on the group menu, then scroll down to the RAT archive folders - organized by year.

✣ You are also welcome to read along with a partner or a group of people. However, each person must read a total of 24 hours to complete the RAT.

Humm... I am off work the first week in September and I've been meaning to put in a full day of just reading for a while again now, but my idea of a full day of reading is never 24 hours haha. I just can't do it.

I'll go for ⓶ NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE: Two days (12h).

And I might just keep track of the rest of my reading that month for the sake of it.

I'm going to do Slow and Steady for multiple 24 hours. I'll keep track for the entire month and see how many actual 24 hour days I spend reading.

It's been tough finding time to read lately, so I better jump on Sam's bandwagon & go Slow & Steady as well.

Welcome, ladies! Happy RAT! 😁

I'm in for Slow and Steady. I feel like I am so behind this year.

Welcome, Cheryl :)

Okay, since I have some vacay coming up this month, I'm going for the NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE :D :D

Hope you enjoy your vacation, Victoria!

I'm in for Slow & Steady - we'll see how many 24 hrs of reading I can do this month.

Welcome, Melissa!
