I had so much fun participating in my first 24 in 48 Readathon over the weekend.
I surpassed my goal of reading for 12 hours, and ended up reading for 13. I even won one of the door prizes!
Here’s what I read:
I finished the stunningly written Margaret the First by Danielle Dutton. I gave this gem five-stars on Goodreads.
I read all of Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson-which I utterly adored and had trouble putting down. Another five-star read.
And I read about 40% of The Persephone Book of Short Stories.
I had hoped to make more progress in another book or two, but I really enjoyed what I did read. None of these were especially quick reads, since I wanted to take my time with each and every word.
Throughout the weekend, I kept up with my progress on Twitter and completed a majority of the fun challenges. I really loved engaging with other readathon participants on that platform as well. The readathon was so well organized and there was a lovely feeling of camaraderie during the entire event.
I fully intend to participate in another #24in48 very soon!
How was your #24in48? Do you plan to participate in the event in the future?
Congratulations! sounds like a very productive time!! Might have to think about taking part in the next one!

You did wonderful! I thought of participating but never did – I’m glad I didn’t make it a definite since my kid gave me his flu on Saturday! Yay for reading for 13 hours … it’s always great when expectations are surpassed.

Oh no! Hope you’re both feeling much better! I almost didn’t participate since it was so close to the Persephone Readathon, but I’m glad that I did. I’d recommend it if you have the chance to participate in the future!
