Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon

Today I'm going to do something different.

I'm going to try a read-a-thon.

I've seen so many videos about different ones on YouTube and I'm really excited to do one for myself.

Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon is just what it sounds like. It is where people from all over the world read for 24 hours.

You don't actually have to read that long, but that is how long the read-a-thon lasts.

I live in the Eastern Time Zone so I will be starting at 8:00 AM.

If you are interested in joining me you can sign up here.

Make sure you sign up soon because it starts tomorrow!

Also, everyone in the world is staring at the same time so click here to see what time you will be starting.

I will be posting updates often on my Twitter page.

I will also try to post periodically right here on my blog.

Some time after the Read-a-Thon is over, I hope to post a video on my YouTube page to sum up all that I read.

I figured that right now I'd show you some of the books that I plan on reading.

1. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

This book is so good, but I'm not very far through it. I hope to get a good chunk of it completed

2. How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous by Georgia Bragg

I love how this book takes such an austere topic and makes it funny. I hope you finish this book or get most of the way through

3. Things I Must Remember by Lune Lenore Violette

Yes, this poetry book was written by the lovely, Lune Lenore Violette! It came in the mail yesterday and I'm looking forward to finishing it tomorrow!

So those are my primary three books. However, if I feel the need to pick up something else just because I am getting tired of the same three books all day, I will read these books.

1. The Ultimate Iron Man (a graphic novel)

You've gotta love Iron Man! I think this will give me a nice break from staring at words for hours.

2. Under The Egg by Laura Marx Fitzgerald

This is a fun middle grade novel that kind of reminds me of a younger version of The Heist Society. I'm really looking forward to picking this up

3. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

This is for moral support. I don't know which one I will read, but I feel like reading a chapter of a Harry Potter book would just get me excited about reading again and help me push through.

I really do not know how much reading I will get done tomorrow, but the important part of this is that I have fun reading, not that I finish four books.

I'm really looking forward to a day of reading and I hope you will join me!

So long!
