What is Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon? For 24 hours, we read books, post to our blogs about our reading, and visit other readers’ blogs. We also participate in mini-challenges throughout the day. It happens twice a year, in April and in October.

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.

I'm very excited to enter my first 24-hour readathon.  I have a pile of books, food in the house, my laptop with power cord, a blanket, and music.  I think I'm ready to jump in.

My goals:

• Read 3 books
• Read at least one Net Galley book
