Sounds good, Vilda :)
This sounds fun! I'm in for slow and steady.
Welcome, Dizzybea!
I'll go with Slow & Steady.
I'm in. I think I'll try Will Work for Books.
I think I'll try. This is my first time, though. I'm going for Slow & Steady.
I'm not sure that I understand the rules:(For level 1 we should read one book every day for the whole month?

No, level 1 is reading for 24 hours straight during the month of September.
Level 2 is reading 12 hours straight in one day and then another 12 hours straight on another day, both days during the month of September.
Level 3 is reading for 8 hours straight for 3 days of your choice during the month of September.
Level 4 is reading for at least 2 hours over as many days as you like until you total 24 hours, during the month September.
Does that make sense?
Well put Ames :)

Yes, thank you!
I'm in for level 3!
Sign me up for Will Work For Books please!
Yay! Thanks for the rule explanation, Ames! I'm including an link to your post - well said! :DWelcome, everyone! I've signed up everyone to this point. Remember, you can change your reading option at anytime throughout the month. Read longer - move up; read in shorter spurts - move down.
I totally Will Work For Books. It sounds like fun lol.
Can you add me for slow and steady? Sounds like a lot of fun! Do the books all have to be one series?
Sandy wrote: "Can you add me for slow and steady? Sounds like a lot of fun! Do the books all have to be one series?"No Sandy, they can be any book, in any genre.
The aim is to read as many books as you can (but its not a race) and get them off your tbr pile.
Gotcha, ladies. Welcome! Happy Reading!
I'd like to do this at the slow and steady pace.
Welcome, Leslie!
Well since I have 490 on my list - this will definitely help! LOL
I'm in! I will do Slow and Steady although my boss is gone about half of the month again this year.~~ cheryl
Definitely, Sandy. Happy Reading!Welcome, Cheryl!
I'm thinking I need to take a few days off and read around the clock. Hmmmm....it could happen.~~cheryl
Sounds like a plan :)
I'm in for Slow and Steady, please :)
Gotcha! Welcome, ladies!
Sign me up for slow and steady please!
Welcome, Stephanie! Happy September & Happy reading, SOSers! :)
Can I still join? If so please sign me up for slow and steady.
Of not too late I would like to sign up too for the slow and steady. This will help me get my reading groove back..... :)
If not to late please sign me up for slow and steady.
Jenn, Richard, Nancy & Lisa you aren't too late. Steph is about to leave on a trip, so she'll add you to the list when she has computer access.But go ahead and set up your threads and start reading as soon as you want to and welcome to the Read-a-thon :)
I'm going to sign up. I just realized today that I've only read 14 books in the last TWO months. Me, who reads on average 14-20 books in ONE month. O_O Yeah, I've been hella busy lately. But I need to step up my game if I want to read 200 by the end of the year.I'm going for Slow & Steady. Good luck all and thank you for hosting this RAT SOS, Steph & Company.
I'll sign up. Going for slow and steady. Can I back date if I know I did a couple of hours of steady audiobook listening yesterday?
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
During the month of September, SOS will be hosting a 24-hour Read-a-thon (RAT). We all have a mountainous to-be-read stack we'd love to topple. And, many have yearly challenges that are approaching the 3/4 mark. It's time to get those books read!
Not able to spend 24 hours doin' nuthin' but reading? Don't worry, most of us can't either. So, we're shakin' it up a bit and allowing members to tally up their read time to equal 24 hours.
Duration: September 1-30, 2014
Goal: Read for 24 hours during the month of September - easy and simple.
Rules: To make it a bit more exciting, in order for your reading time to count towards your 24, you must choose one of the options below to follow.
Reading Options (hours spent reading each sitting):
⓵ DO NOT DISTURB: One day (24h)
⓶ NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE: Two days (12h)
⓷ WILL WORK FOR BOOKS: Three days (8h)
⓸ SLOW & STEADY: Four or more days (2-7h)
(More detailed explanation can be found HERE)
In order for time to count towards your 24-hours, steady reading must be done for at least 2 or more hours in one sitting.
✣ Sign-up below by stating that you would like to participate in the RAT and include which reading option you will be following. You are welcome to change your reading option at any time during the RAT.
✣ Track your reading throughout the month and, once you've reached 24 hours, share your results on our FINAL RAT STATS thread.
✣ Those participating are welcome to create a RAT thread (within the 24-hour Read-a-Thon folder) to use throughout the month to share your books, ratings & reviews, chat with friends, etc.
NOTE: For those who participated last year, you can find your 2013 RAT thread here.
✣ You are also welcome to read along with a partner or a group of people. However, each person must read a total of 24 hours to complete the RAT.
Once You've Reached 24 Hours: Post your final RAT stats HERE.
