Readathons are one of my favourite things about being part of the online book community. I didn’t participate in many until the pandemic when, like many of us, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands and not a lot to do. The Koreadathon in 2020 was something that brought me joy amidst an uncertain year. This year’s Koreadathon was the same, but with author events and a discord server I also felt really connected to the people participating in the readathon. We still chat in there from time to time, and I love that.
From March 7 – 13th, I did as much as I could to participate and complete challenges. After the 13th, I kept on reading through my tbr and more so I could continue to support Korean writers. (There happened to be two other Korean readathons happening in March – #KoreanMarch and #ManseMarch – which I think is really cool!)
