HISTORATHON 2024
Historathon is a year-long celebration of reading historical nonfiction. The goal is to read, discuss, and spotlight works of history, and to encourage reluctant readers to give history a try. The calendar year will be divided into three-month blocks, with each block focusing on a particular period of time:
Jan-March = Prehistory-500 CE
April-June = 500-1500
July-Sept = 1500-1820
Oct-Dec = 1820-Present
To participate, simply read a work of history that falls into the time period for each quarterly segment of the year. Read more if you’d like! Tailor the choices to your interests or try something completely new.
Historathon "Side Quests": We will also be encouraging/participating in history-related activities throughout the year, including watching historical films/documentaries, trying historical recipes, listening to historical music, etc. Feel free to join us!
We will be using the hashtag: #historathon2024

I am LOVING “The Blazing World”A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689. Fascinating.

So much going on this summer and I love all the events and can’t resist joining in! Great pile of possibilities Vin. I’ve given up calling my lists TBRs because I am too fond of going off on a tangent and changing my mind about what to read 😊 Looking forward to Q3

I’m pretty good about sticking with a reading schedule most times, but summers are always more loose with me.

That’s great! I wish more teachers were more interdisciplinary minded.

Great picks, Vin! Beast and The Wager both sound good. I’m with you in terms of mood reading and not committing to any books in particular. I don’t know of if I will get to any Star Trek novels for this summer, but I have been watching TOS and enjoying the episodes! Some episodes I’ve never seen before so it’s been a treat. Reading one of the actor’s memoirs might be fun now that I think about it! Hope you have a wonderful summer off :)

Thank you! Speaking of actor’s memoirs, I just picked up Shatner’s Boldly Go. I may get to it this month.

I didn't know about this event. However, my expertise is the Renaissance/Reformation so July-September's challenge is totally up my alley. I have some academic books out from the library about Sebastian Castellio. I'm a teacher too. Glad to have come across your channel! I'm going to read The Wager right after I finish Ritz and Escoffier tonight.

Beast looks fun! (If fun is a word that can be applied to the topic 😅 but a fun type of book). Plus, the cover is amazing. The Wager has also been on my radar, I’ll definitely get to that one at some point 🙌🏼 Have a fun summer break Vin! 🥳

Hey Vin! Great choices. I really liked The Wager. Grann is a great story teller. I have American Dialogue but I haven’t read it yet. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Thanks for the pile of books.

Beast looks cool. And I've seen the Wager a ton as well. Good luck on your committee planning. This is my smallest pile of possibilities for the quarters that I'm scrounging around trying to find some for later this week haha. Great vid Vin

Congratulations on being asked to join your town's committee! That's awesome. I've been wanting to read the wager for some time now and I look forward to your thoughts on that one. I mentioned in your last video about wanting to jump into Ron Chernow's Washington biography, and I went ahead and just jumped right in! So I'll be nose-deep in that one for the next month or two.
@revenantreads

Thank you! And good luck with Chernow’s book. Please report back to let me know how you liked it.

I have American Dialogue. Happy to buddy read it if you get to it this summer. I need to figure out what else to read for this quarter. A lot going on and haven’t focused as much.

I could plan for closer to the end of the quarter, if that works for you.

I'm still trying to decide what to read for Q3. I think I will do the Young Queens, but I'd like to have a few more options as well.

I did pretty well with Q1 and Q2, but it looks like my next history read will be skipping to Q4 - I forgot about Historathon for a minute, and it’s a library book. Well, I’ve been reading Henry Adams _History of the United States_ all year so at least that coincides. Your options sound good.
@revenantreads

I have a book about Henry Adams on my TBR shelves. He’s someone I unfortunately know too little about.
