Tomorrow at 8 am I’ll be joining over 300 other readers for Dewey’s 24 Hour read-a-thon! The read-a-thon by far is one of my favorite blogger events. When else can you dedicate 24 hours to reading, but also connect with a bunch of other great readers? You still have time to sign up if you are interested!
I have my snacks all lined up! A few sweets (I didn’t survive the last two read-a-thons without my freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies!) as well as some nutritious snacks as well.
This year, I decided not to plan my reading selections in advance. I think I’m going to go with the flow and pick up books from my bookshelf randomly.
Another new thing I’m doing this year-cheerleading! I’m head cheerleader for Team Keats, and we’ll be cheering for all readers A-C. Check out my awesome squad:
If you join us for the read-a-thon, there is still time to sign up to be a cheerleader! I can tell you from experience that cheerleaders are an extremely necessary part of the read-a-thon! It’s their job to encourage readers and give them a jolt of energy when required!
Rather than posting every hour or so, I’ll only be doing three posts: the kick-off-post, a half-time post, and a wrap-up post. I don’t want to overwhelm my followers with too many updates! Instead, I will be installing a widget on my blog linked to my twitter feed so you’ll be able to check my progress that way. Be sure to check back in tomorrow to see how I’m doing!
Participating in the read-a-thon tomorrow? What sort of books (and snacks!) do you have lined up?
