Hyperlink Reading Week - next week, let's read together

One more collaborative learning experiment to close out the year — let's get ready for Reading Week!

In college, "reading week" was built into the academic calendar: a period at the end of the semester, between the last day of classes and the start of finals, to spend studying and writing term papers.

Heading into the holidays, we thought: what if we could do something similar, and build some end-of-year focus time into our own calendars?

Hyperlink's Reading Week is one week long: Monday 12/6 – Sunday 12/12.

The goal: read as much as you can — things you might not make time for otherwise — and share as you go.

It's time to triage your "read later" queue, ingest long-lingering browser tabs, crack open those books you've been meaning to start. Any subjects and mediums are fair game, but this could be a great excuse to make a dent in something challenging.

The sharing part is optional, but for us it's a big part of the appeal. Seeing others doing this challenge together is not only valuable for accountability, it's just plain fun to have this shared context and see what others are reading!

This is casual, no sign up, just reading together + sharing on Twitter. To join:

• Share this tweet to encourage friends to participate
• Pick a topic (or a few) to dig into, as open-ended or specific as you find useful
• This weekend, make / share a reading list (rough is fine)
• Come Monday, dig in — set aside some time each day to read, jot down notes, tweet as you go

Related challenge: the annual emergent communal Twitter tradition Threadapalooza starts ~Dec 15th…this could be nice practice for impending mega-thread creation :)

See you Monday (later start is fine too) and join us in the Hyperlink Discord if you want to share ideas / chat further there!
