The History Book Club discussion

This year we will be conducting Readathons which I think will be a fun addition. You do not have to read for 24 hours straight but we will try to set it up along the lines of Dewey’s Readathon and other well known readathons. But we will modify things to fit in with The History Book Club and our membership.

We will set up THREE readathons - the start times will be on Saturday to allow folks to participate wherever they are in the world.

Mark your calendars.

How To Join In:
Click on the title at the top - The HBC Readathons. Please then join by simply signing in at the bottom and say how many books you plan to read for one or more of the readathon dates - there will be three readathon dates throughout 2017; then create your own personal shelf to add the books which you would like to tackle during one readathon or more readathons. That is all there is to it and goodreads will keep track. Become your own marathoner in reading books on the readathon dates and we will keep track of your progress in terms of titles of books, number of books, number of pages, and different genres. Give it a whirl and see how much reading you can get done and take a stab at that big "to be read" pile of books that we all have.

Note: Don't forget to set up your shelf first and then add the name of that shelf here when setting up the challenge for your readathon.

Returning Readathoners from 2015 or 2016: Make sure to create a new shelf for 2017 or just add to the 2015 or 2016 shelf - either is fine. But remember to increase your goal if you successfully completed your goal in 2015 or 2016 - you certainly want to challenge yourself anew. And you might want to call your shelf something with the year 2017 in it to distinguish it from the rest.

For those of you who want to join in:

Hello Folks - April 8th at 8AM we begin Readathon Eleven wherever you are in the world - use your local time.

Many of our friends in other countries will be starting earlier than we do in Metro NYC (EST) - so make sure to proceed first to Checkpoint One which is the first check in for April 8th and follow the directions on that date.
