MOD EDIT.
The book thread is doing a readathon, thank you for the idea and structure biscuits!!!
setting up a new thread to inform others incase they also want to join in.
as stated no pressure, it’s more for fun than anything else.
Details below;
Ok drumroll please!
I've gotten my thinking cap on and come up with a rough structure for Tattle's Inaugural Readathon. It's taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend and you can take part in as much or as little as you like. I've mixed in prompts and some games too. Happy to do a quiz if enough people are interested - I bloody love a book quiz!
Day 1
Introduce yourself!
Hello my name is....
I plan to read...... during the readathon
The last book I read was...
My favourite book as a child was....
My favourite book as a teenager was.....
My favourite book now is.....
2 x reading sprints with specific times (these can run each day - more on these below.).
End of day check in - pages read, coffee drunk, change of goals tomorrow? (can do this at the end of each day - no pressure!)
Day 2
Three books that sum up me....
Turn to page 42 in your current read. Share the first line with us. Can anyone guess where it's from?
Which book would you like to live in and why?
Day 3
Show us a photo of your bookmark/ebook reader cover/associated reading paraphernalia
Tell us about the book(s) this thread has inspired you to read.
READING SPRINTS
These are designed to get you reading within a set time frame. Everyone closes Tattle , picks up their reading material and just reads for 15 minutes, half an hour or whatever time frame we agree upon. You can report back with how much you've read, beverages/snacks consumed etc. They seem to be quite keen on stats in the readathon community and I quite like that myself
Happy to take feedback, suggestions and comments re the plans.
