Total as of Day 6 is 9 hours and 9 minutes
I probably will not hit 24 hours, but I have finished one book and will certainly finish the other one I want to complete by the end of the month. It's all good.

I was bad and never checked in last month!
I'll post my time from last month later today, but with 10 days I'm going to try for 24 hours.
And let's extend this one a few days. Instead of ending on Friday 29 March, we'll read through Sunday 31 March. That gives us 10 days of reading bliss. No fooling around though, stop before April begins. :-)
What is a…
I finished reading three books during the last readathon. :-)
And we'll read through Thursday 28 February.
What is a readathon?
The aim is to read for 24 hours spread out over 7 full days and nights. Don't worry if you can't manage the full 24 as it is not as easy as it sounds. 2…

¶ The link to Goodreads has been updated
Thank you, minesayn! I have corrected it in the initial post. :-)
I did so well last month, but I'm back in the classroom. I hope to do more than 14 hours but don't want to set myself up for failure. I'll up my goal in February.
Wow! This month has flown by, and I missed posting for last week. This month we'll start on 26 for seven days. The February Readathon will also be a late start because it is a short month.
