In an effort to finish as many of the books I was reading prior to the holidays as possible, I left my computer at home when I went to work last week, and so fell a bit behind on blogging. Anyway, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I'm going to be doing another 12hppofxmas readathon this year. I've copied last year's description post below for your enlightenment as to how this works.
THE
12 hpp
OF
Xmas
***
Who?
Me! The mysterious M.R.! I am hosting this and will most likely be the sole participant. But you are welcome to participate as well if you want. Keep reading to see how?
What?
This is a readathon. Basically the idea is to just read a whole bunch. In this case, twelve hectopages (1200 pages) over the course of the Christmas season, specifically the twelve days of Christmas. There are no rules besides that. The books don't have to be Christmas books, and I'm not posting any challenges or anything like that.
When?
Because I'm perverse and hate my family (not at all, but), this readathon will take place over the course of the actual twelve days of Christmas. If you, like Bob and Doug MacKenzie, are somewhat confused as to what the twelve days of Christmas are, then I will tell you the actual dates right now: December 25 to January 5. Let's say midnight to midnight.
Where?
Wherever I am and/or you are.
Why?
Instead of quietly doing my usual glut of Christmas reading, I am formalizing it as a readathon so that I can feel even more accomplished. Christmas is a time when I like to hang out with friends and family, eat baked goods until my teeth hurt, and read as much as possible. Join me!
How?
I have absolutely no mechanism for you to register for this readathon other than leaving a comment on this post. There won't be any prizes other than my appreciation that you're joining me in something I'd be doing anyway. Seriously though, the more the MERRIER. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
Hashtag for this is #12hppofxmas by the way, at the @twohectobooks twitter account.
