The read-a-thon is coming!!! The read-a-thon is coming!!! April 27th is the read-a-thon!!! This is my FAVORITE read-a-thon each year and I am always thrilled if I can participate! Originally it looked like I would not be doing much of the read a thon as I was leaving town Saturday and doing a bike ride on the 28th. Well… life stuff has happened and now I will be in town and unfortunately skipping out on the bike ride due to other commitments, BUT that also means I will be around Saturday for the read-a-thon!!!
So what is the Dewey Read-A-Thon?
Well the event has a wonderful history, while by the time I became involved in this crazy world of book reviews, Dewey was gone, but I absolutely love the tradition that long-term book bloggers have kept going… passing the torch so to speak and keeping the candle over the memory of Dewey and this event eternally lit.
SO….. I am sharing ALL of this with you because it is not too late to join! It doesn’t matter if you can not do all 24 hours. Do what you can – and believe me, setting aside a day to enjoy books is wonderful! AND bloggers offer mini breaks where you can go and do challenges to take a little break and have a chance to win a prize! (I LOVE) the mini breaks 😀
Join me, and many (currently over 300) other book bloggers and book lovers for this event! Check out details and sign up here!
I am such a huge fan of this read-a-thon! I can’t wait!! See you there Sheila!
I will be there 😀
i can’t wait. I’m just choosing my books. Really excite about this one! 😀
I have not yet officially participated, although most weekends do find me reading nonstop….
At the last read-a-thon I spent way too much time visiting blogs on the mini-breaks and not enough time reading. I suspect the same thing will happen this time!
Books have been choosen, now I just need to find healthy snacks to go with them! LOL.
I am participating too though I really should use the time to do some badly needed cleaning 🙂
Thanks for spreading the word, Sheila, and for volunteering your time to help out! Blessings on your head, my friend.
