It is time to sign-up for Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon! The read-a-thon starts at noon (GMT) Saturday, October 22, 2011. Unfortunately, I will be unable to participate as I have another commitment. But, that is no reason I shouldn’t promote the read-a-thon and encourage my fellow book-bloggers/readers-of-books to participate. In the past, when I participated, I [...]

Utterly Upset, Unfortunately
The next Dewey Readathon is Saturday, October 22nd. I have been looking forward to this for months, ever since the April Readathon occurred on a day I had many prior engagements. I’ve even been making up a list of books I want to read for the marathon and deciding if I want to do more [...]

Dewey’s Read-a-Thon Results
I am so lame. I greatly overestimated how much free time I was going to have this past weekend. After spending two hours getting groceries Saturday morning, I was all prepared to spend the rest of the day reading for Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon (which I planned on modifying to read 12 hours Saturday and 12 [...]

Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-Thon
Tomorrow (APRIL 9th) is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon!!! I participated in this in the fall, half-heartedly. I didn’t exactly read for 24 hours, but I did read for about 15 hours (my whole waking day). I have never in my life stayed awake for 24 hours, I just can’t do it. But for this spring [...]

Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon Update
Okay, I’ve been up and reading pretty consecutively–I took a half hour of for each lunch and dinner and to give my eyes a break–since 9am. So, that’s about 12.5 hours of reading today! And, my eyes are very tired. I just finished reading Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella–it took me 10 hours to read [...]

Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon
I have heard of Dewey’s Read-a-Thon from a few book blogger friends, originally from Michelle at My Books. My Life. But I was never really sure what it was, other than a read-a-thon, which is sort of obvious. Yesterday, browsing through my blogroll, I finally found the origin of this particular read-a-thon from Giraffe Days. [...]
