Dewey's 24 Hour #Readathon - Oh well...


Another one in the books. As usual, I fell short of my goal, but I still enjoyed the journey. I was gone for half the day...finally settled in with Ronald Malfi's Bone White around 12 am with a nice pot of pumpkin spice coffee. Made it until five am having read about 200 pages. I participated in a few mini-challenges and visited several blogs. I always look at it as an adventure...to see how far I can make it each time. I'm hoping one of these times I will be able to stay home for the entire readathon. Maybe next time.

Closing Survey!
1. Which hour was most daunting for you? 
5 am...couldn't stay awake no matter how much coffee I had consumed.
2. Tell us ALLLLL the books you read!
2/3 of Bone White by Ronald Malfi (6 hours of reading).
3. Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners?
I can tell this is another great one by Malfi so I would recommend it.
4. What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you smile?
I can't really think of anything.
5. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep?
I will always participate...in the hopes that some day again, as I have in the past, I will at least finish one book.

Dewey's 24 Hour #Readathon - Reading plans and Happy 10 Years!


Another year, another 24 hour readathon! Perfect that my FrightFall Readathon is going on at the same time...all month long. I find that scary reads are always a good bet for a 24 hour readathon because they're more apt to keep one awake.

First of all, a very happy ten year birthday to Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon!

I'm not planning a major snack foray this time, as I'm on a...well, I'm not going to say diet, I don't like that word...but many know that I'm on a new me, healthy journey so there will be no candy or sweets this time. Coffee, of course. Maybe some popcorn, peanut butter, yogurt.

As for the reading, I'm going to be choosing from the books in this graphic.


Some are read-alongs so I won't be reading entire books. However, I really like reading physical books during the 24 hour readathons so I'm hoping to read this one in its entirety...


I'm not sure if I'll do updates here, or on my Facebook page or Twitter (@truebookaddict). My Facebook is linked to my Twitter account so I may do them on there. I listed all three on Dewey's sign-up form.

And now for the opening meme!

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Nashville, Tennessee, USA
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Probably the one in the last image...Bone White by Ronald Malfi
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
See my mention of snacks above. Probably coffee. lol
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm a mom of two teen boys. I work from home as a virtual assistant and other jobs. I'm working on my first novel (waffling on whether to join NaNoWriMo next month). I love cats, Christmas, history. I have a massive home library numbering over 3000 books.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? 
I always say I'm going to read more, and try to stay up all night...but somehow...anyway, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

Happy reading!
