The #24in48 readathon will run from 12:01am on Saturday, April 5th until 11:59pm on April 6th. 24 hours of reading in 48 total hours – whether that means 12 hours each day or 8 hours on Saturday and 16 on Sunday or however it best shakes out for you.

I shouldn’t be doing a readathon. I should be writing. But there are so many things I still need to read as research. *cough* Yeah, that’s the ticket!
The plan this weekend is to read. And other duties. 😉 Obviously, I’m not going to get to everything on this list.
