2025 Book Awards Readathon - Introduction and Sign-up Thread!

Welcome to 2025 Reading Challenge’s Winter Readathon! We are once again hosting a 10-day team readathon that we hope you will all enjoy just as much as last time! Didn’t participate in the last readathon? That’s totally cool! You will be divided into teams with an even mix of seasoned and first-time “readathon-ers�� as well as folks who read at different paces.

General Information
🏆 10 days long: February 21 - March 2
🏆Begin and end at midnight in your timezone
🏆Divided fairly into teams of ~8
🏆23 total prompts (single, double, and triple)
🏆Bonus prompts available for teams who complete all of the regular prompts
🏆Teams announced around the 14th of February after sign-ups conclude. You MUST check in with your teammates prior to the start of the readathon.

How to sign up:
Sign up in this thread by answering these questions:

1. How many books do you think you'll be able to read over the 10-day event?
Note: Please only include books that are at least 100 pages long, or you have 100 pages left in at the start of the Readathon.
2. Can you commit to checking in with your team approximately every 2-3 days throughout the 10 days of the readathon?
3. Are you willing to assume the role of leader or co-leader for your team? (See below for what these roles entail.)*
4. Have you participated in a team readathon before?
5. Are you able to accept messages on ŷ������? You MUST be able to accept messages or you will not be sorted into a team for the readathon. Please see this thread for more information about how to check your privacy settings.

You have until February 13th to sign up here! At that point, the mods will put the teams together and notify everyone on the 14th of February which teams you are on in the comment below. Discussion threads for each team to discuss and a spreadsheet to track progress will be posted at that time as well.

*Team Leader roles:
-Making sure the spreadsheet your team will be using is updated. All members will be able to update, the leader just needs to double check that it's filled out correctly. This will come into play especially if there are group members who cannot access the spreadsheet easily. This year the spreadsheet will be more simple than it has been in years past so if you’ve been nervous to sign up for this reason, give it a try this yer!
-Message missing team members between February 14 and February 20, if applicable.
-Be a cheerleader! Nothing brings a team together more than a leader who is able to pump them up.

TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT

Here are our teams for the 2025 Book Awards Readathon! You must check in with your team’s thread before the start of the readathon on the 21st. This is to ensure that everyone will be there to participate and move people around if teams become uneven due to missing teammates.
