SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

SOS' 2024 Read-a-Thon
During the month of September, SOS hosts 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 once again 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, 2024

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.

Oh wow, I thought I did this two years ago, but apparently, it was in 2020 (oops) 😅

Option: ⓶ NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE: Two days (12h)
I hope I'll be able to make that 2x 12 h. I've planned them for September 14th and 28th (for now)

Let's do this! Happy reading to everyone!

i will give it a whirl for
⓸ SLOW & STEADY: Four or more days (2-7h)

so, do you guys only do this one month out of every year??

Welcome, y’all! Happy Fall 🍁

Hi, PrincessBookDragon. Yeah, each September we host it, but you’re welcome to create a separate read-a-thon challenge, if you’d like to do it any other time. Others may join ya 😊

It'll be Slow & Steady for me :)

I'm in for ⓸ SLOW & STEADY: Four or more days (2-7h)

Yay! 😊

Slow and Steady for me as well :-)

I wanted to do Will Work For Books but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to manage two days this month.

👍🏼😊

I’m going for ⓸ SLOW & STEADY: Four or more days (2-7h), too 😊

Remember everyone, you can change your option at any time during the month; move up or down depending on how long you’re able to read in a sitting 😊

oh ok! thanks <3

😊

As I've taken a day off this week, but I didn't get to do what I originally planned, I figured I might as well read some 😁

So I'm switching my option 2 for option 3 (⓷ WILL WORK FOR BOOKS: Three days (8h))

👍🏼 no worries
