Dewey's 24 Hour Read A Thon

 


And we're off!

The Dewey's 24 Hour Read A Thon is officially underway!  During the event, readers try to read for as much of the 24 hour period as they can while  checking in with their fellow 400 participants!  I did this for the first time in the winter and loved  - I didn't understand much about it before starting but totally understood the allure after doing it.  I feel much more prepared this time around!

First up is an introductory meme:

Where are you reading from today?

          The Big Apple - more specifically, my couch, bed and futon in guest room 

3 facts about me …

          1. I do nothing without a cup of coffee each day

          2. I LOVE to travel - preferably to far flung places

          3. I am a handbag addict - never met one I didn't like!

How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?

           I have 5 books in the pile (although two are partially read)

Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?

          My only goal is to read for the majority of the day and night and comment on blogs about every           1.5 hours.

If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?

         First and foremost, have fun and enjoy the other participants!  More practically, a
         little planning goes a long way.  As much as possible, minimize other responsibilities
         for the day (I failed miserably at this the first time - I had to stop mid day and take care of
         my taxes!)

         Off to read!!
