If that doesn't sound great enough, she recommends making a donation to the charity of their choice as part of the Readathon. So like give $5 or $10 for every hour you read.
Cheers to you, BrownGirl for a great idea!
A suggestion for the readathon: you can definitely finish A Taste of Honey by Jabari Asim in 12 hours and it will be a day spent with wonderfully funny and warm people. (When you're done, go over to Amazon and leave a review.)
Here's a quote:
"As soon as I decided to have a crush on Polly she had to go and change my mind. Shom said it's just as well because fat girls ain't worth a pretty boy's time. Of course he was talking about himself, not me. He said he wouldn't give the time of day to her even if she had been as fine as Diahann Carroll because he could never trust a black girl named Polly. This from a black boy named Schomburg."
