It's Coming!!!! Dewey's Read-a-Thon

I came across it by mistake, a pure act of serendipity, loved it and I think, well, I know,! that you will too. It's the Spring event of the season for passionate book lovers like you and me. The place to be and the it thing to do. It's Dewey's Read-a-Thon! This event will take place on Saturday, April 10 and it starts at 5 am Pacific Time. Although you can start anytime during the day and read as much or as little as you can. If you want to read the whole 24 hours, it's OK too. If you want to sleep, or maybe you are a "hardcore" bookie and don't want to, it's OK too. You do need to have FUN! This nothing to get stressed about. First you must sing up as a reader to be able to participate and you do not need to have a blog either. Although, having a blog is a BIG plus and the reason I started this blog. You can also sign up for mini challenges, cheerleader, etc. I did the cheerleading last time and had a blast leaving encouraging comments in different blogs I discovered. I learned so much and "met" a lot of interesting peopl i now follow. It was more than I expected. So much more! I realized I found my "niche", people who like me enjoy books and reading as much as I do. And now that you are so excited and I know you are, you can visit the website at http://24hourreadathon.com/ and sign up. You won't regret it!

  1. I am SO ready for the Dewey read-a-thon.

    And, as an aside, why is my headshot in everyone's Google Followers a question mark. I changed my headshot, but wouldn't it link to the new one? Hmmmm....

  5. I've participated in the read-a-thon two other times but I may skip this one. Make sure you have a lot of short, quick reads and lots of healthy snacks. Good luck!

  6. Thanks Ti! I agree with you. Short or quick reads are the best selections for read-a-thons. Hope you can join next time.
