This past weekend was the 24 in 48 Readathon for July. It was my first Readathon challenge ever and the first #24in48 too.
The premise of 24 in 48 Readathon / Challenge is simple - To Read for 24 hours out of the 48 hours of the weekend. Seems simple enough right?
The challenge appealed to me because -
A. Its endearing to me, the idea of reading together. I've always loved reading together, be it with my Mom - both of us reading our own books sharing the comfort of books and loving company, or with my book babes - one of us reading a book then forcing the rest to read or just picking and reading a book together. The idea of just reading with passionate book lovers from all around the world was something special for me. I mean if you think about it, someone across the globe from me was reading at the same time that I was reading. How could I not love it?
(I'm a ball of mush I know)
B. Its a book reading challenge! I mean how could I, a Third Generation Bookworm, not love it? Its not possible.
The Challenge - For the uninitiated (yes, now that I have participated in one of these challenges, I have been initiated)
