Readathon Shenanigans.

I might be a little late to the party, but I wanted to let you all know that sign-ups for Dewey's 24-hour Readathon are up and running here. You need to get on that and sign up to participate! :)

I look forward to this event more than anything else. It is a great way to interact with the book blogging community, enter some awesome contests, and get a LOT of reading done.

There are also lots of opportunities to get involved-from cheering, to hosting a contest, to reading! I suggest you peek around the site and see what kind of commitment you want to take on.

In April, I hosted a mini-challenge and co-hosted the last few hours of the readathon. This time around, I am focusing solely on reading. I am way behind and need to "catch up," so that day will be a great way to do that. I am planning a Vlog for the day before to show you my pile of books, and my random cheering thoughts. :)

Who else is participating?

  5. I'm participating and can't wait! I've been looking forward to this ever since you mentioned it back in a post about your fall plans (when you said you were considering reading all Shakespeare).

  7. I never participate with these kinds of things for some reason. Maybe it's because I fear I might not be successful! Haha. But good luck to you and have fun :)

  8. I'm far too excited about this- I keep planning what books I want to read, and I think if I make a pile of all the ones I've thought of, it'd probably reach the ceiling! the 22nd needs to hurry up and get here because I'm TOO EXCITED! Hehe

  9. Yay! I'm participating too. I volunteered to do a mini-challenge, but I haven't heard if I'm doing it for sure yet. I am so excited about it! I feel like I haven't been able to devote a whole day to reading in so long.

  13. I'm reading and cheering, as I always do. I'm hoping to catch up on review books so I can get back to reading what I really want to read. Glad you're in!
