Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon

It's Readathon time! I am so excited to be spending this weekend READING. It is actually pretty nice outside and after spending the winter waiting for some sun, I can't let the day go by inside. So, I will be heading out with my trusty headphones to listen to some audiobooks throughout the day (my Fitbit will be happy!). The rest of the time I will be settled in on my couch reading and checking in on all your blogs!

 Opening Questionnaire:
  1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
New York City (complete with jackhammering taking place right outside my window)
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Mystery of Mercy Close by Marian Keyes
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Haven't planned much in that department but there is always Seamless
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
Live in a big city, love to travel (even if it is only in books sometimes)
 5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today?
Not sure what I will do different - I tend to play this by ear.  But I am going to read for charity again - I have done that a few times before and I like what it adds to my readathon experience. Today I will be donating .25 for each page read and each comment received to this cause.

Have a great day!

    An audio while getting some fresh air sounds like a great way to spend part of today! Hope it's a beautiful day where you are :)

    Fabulous idea!! Perhaps we should turn Readathon for Charity into a regular feature? I'd be in!

    Not being from NYC I didn't know what Seamless was - I was trying to imagine what type of food was called "seamless!" I see you've even solved the "have to stop reading and feed myself" problem!

    Hope you had a productive readathon and love that you are donating your reading time to charity. Here's my Dewey's Read-a-thon post if you'd like to stop by.
