2019

 

If you’re new to 24in48, this is the basic gist: beginning at 12:01 am (official timezone is EDT) on Saturday morning and running through 11:59 pm on Sunday night, participants read for 24 hours out of that 48-hour period.

You can split that up however you’d like. Whatever works for you.

Ready to join? Fill out the form here.

 

 

From 3 June until 3 September, Cathy at 746books will be attempting to read her 20 Books of Summer. Why not join in with your own 20 (or 10, or 15!), read along with some of the books or just cheer her on as she tries to get that dreaded 746 down by another 20 in just 3 months. Join the 20 Books of Summer Challenge here.

 

 

 

Brona’s Books is hosting the Moby Dick Readalong beginning in August of 2019 and finishing at the end of February of 2020.

Bron will put up a monthly post and provide encouragement for progress through the book. To let others know of your interest in joining in, leave a comment here and share on social media.

 

 

Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Louisa May Alcott reading challenge hosted by the blog In the Bookcase.

For more information, take a look at the challenge blog post here.

 

 

What are your ideas about love?  Is love an overwhelming romantic feeling?  Can it be a decision or a duty?  Can you fall out of love?  Have you wished for a better understanding of the love of God?  Can friends love each other?  What about families and our love for them?  In English, we use the same word for all these feelings … love …. but the Greeks have different words for these feelings of love and each has its different distinctions.  Do you want to learn more?  Then please join Classical Carousel in a read-along of C.S. Lewis’ The Four Loves for the month of June! To find out more about the read along, please go here.

 

 

Did you get stuck in or gave up on #Donquijote #Donquixote? Join Lory at Emerald City Book Review and Emma at Words and Peace starting the week of March 18. It will be a slow and very manageable read along of Don Quixote, about one chapter/day, with a recap with questions and comments once a week, alternated on Lory’s blog and Emma’s. All are welcome to join. Follow the blogs to get details when all is ironed out.

 

 

 

Nick at One Catholic Life has chosen four books for 2019 for his Chapter-a-Day Read-Along: Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Lilith by George MacDonald, and The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens. If you would like to join in, get copies of the books you’d like to read. Then post about it on your blog. Download the daily schedule and commit to reading a chapter a day.
