Read-a-Thon Calendar 2016 edition
I thought I would update the list of Readathons that I posted last year. Bout of Books #15 is already in the bag (it was 1/4/2016 - 1/10/2016), and as I posted earlier #24in48 is this weekend and still accepting participants. (I’m unfortunately writing a report for work instead of participating, but you can’t have everything).
In case you want to play along, here are the Readathons I am aware of. Please add a comment if you know of any others.
High-intensity short duration
Dewey’s 24-hr Readathon
#Deweys #readathon
April 23, 2016

January 16 – 17, 2016
Summer 2016 – date to be announced in late January

The organizer has just announced that she shifted to Winter and Summer so that #24in48 is better offset from #Deweys

Low-key multiday

Typically overlaped with Dewey’s 24-hour Readathon.
http://www.littlebookowl.com/p/read-thon-calendar.html appears to be keeping a ReadAThon Calendar as well and included several other hosts that I wasn’t aware of such as
