It's time for another 24B4Monday event!

These are a bit like a read-a-thon, the idea is to read as much as you can from Friday night until Sunday night. The name is inspired by the idea of reading for 24 hours over the weekend, but of course you’re welcome to set your own smaller goal. Whether you’re aiming for 2 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours everyone is welcome to join in.

To get started please share your goals in this thread and then head over to the event progress thread and grab a post to keep track of your reading.

Be on the look out for some additional, small games throughout the weekend!

Happy reading!

Intro Questions

1. How many hours are you aiming to spend reading this weekend?

2. Which books are you planning to read?

3. How are you doing with the Around the Year in 52 books challenge? Ahead, behind, right on schedule?
