Dewey's Read-a-thon | Oct. 2014
I will be joining the Dewey's 24-Hour Read-a-thon for the second time. I think it's a fun way to join a community of book lovers to read together in a fun way and challenge yourself to read the most you can in one day.
This time around it will take place on October 18, 2014 (Saturday). Start time are on the site.
What is Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon? For 24 hours, we read books, post to our blogs, Twitters, Tumblrs, Goodreads and MORE about our reading, and visit other readers’ homes online. We also participate in mini-challenges throughout the day. It happens twice a year, in April and in October.(information directly from 24hourreadathon.com)
It was created by the beloved Dewey (her blog has since been taken down, so the link won’t work). The first one was held in October 2007. Dewey died in late 2008. We’re still saddened by her absence, but the show must go on. The read-a-thon was renamed to honor its founder in 2009.
Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon is hosted by Heather and Andi of The Estella Society, with help from volunteers.
I am yet to choose what I will be reading that day. Most likely I will be reading a book that I will be currently reading the day before.
Will you guys be joining the read-a-thon?
