Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-Thon is this Saturday!
The books!
The food!
The community!
The exhaustion!
Woot! Can you tell I’m looking forward to this event?
I wrote a post for the fine folks at the Read-a-Thon site outlining some tips to make your day of reading a success. You might find it useful, check it out!
Are you participating? (It’s not too late to sign up!!) Hope to see you around on Saturday!
The Relentless Reader 
Yes, I do believe I get the sense that you're excited. 😉 I'm not signing up because I spent last weekend in bed, reading and sleeping. I don't think the huz will let me get away with that two weeks in a row, but I'll be with you in spirit.

You can do it, you can! Last time I think I made it 22 hours. I was like a zombie by the end, lol. Fuzzy headed and EXHAUSTED. But it was fab!

Oh yes, understandable! I hope you'll peek in now and then to see what we're up to 🙂

I would love to participate but I have rehearsal all morning and a concert in the evening… and having been out of town the last two weekend, I'm sure I'll have a lot to do in-between my music stuff catching up around the house (like getting groceries… derp!). Wish it were on Sunday, I have nothing planned!! Hopefully I can catch the next Dewey's. Looking forward to reading all the wrap-up posts 🙂

Looking forward to it, though unfortunately I'll be doing my usual and joining in some of the day only (similar reason to bookfool, grrr other halves). Your book count is surely to be off the charts after this weekend!

I've never participated and I would have this year, but family came in to town at the last minute and I can't ignore them. So, I think I'll have to wait until next year to join in all that reading fun 😉 Happy reading to you!!

You're a busy bee 🙂 You're the 2nd person I've heard say that Sunday would work better. I wonder if that would be possible for next time?

Ah yes, it wouldn't be nice to ignore your family members 😉 Make them read with you?? Ha ha!

OK, so in October we will see.It's because I can harldy cope with a twitter chat of less than 10 people, so 400 people chatting at the same time and IN ENGLISH would be a nightmare I think!!! :)))

That's completely understandable! Honestly though, you don't have to talk to anyone, lol. You just read your little heart out all day and write a wrap-up post at the end if you'd like. Is this peer pressure working? 😉 Ok, ok, I'll be quiet now!

Squee! It's going to be awesome!It's so cool that you are cheering this year. I did it last time around and it was a blast. I thought about cheering for this one, but decided that it wouldn't be a great idea if I had to make an early trip to meet baby! 🙂

Darn family 😉 My sis asked me to do something tomorrow. When I told her I couldn't because I have reading plans she thought I sounded a little too happy in turning her down, lol.

Hurray, almost readathon time! I love this post, so funny. I'll be participating too, although my family comes first (our holiday fell through – if it hadn't I wouldn't even be around for the readathon). So, I hope to have fun with my family as well as reading too much).
