Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon October 2018




I decided to signup for the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon late last night when I got home from work. It is a very blustery day here so curling up with some good books sounded like a good plan. Not sure how much I will be posting as I am kind of winging it without a plan.

OPENING MEME

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Southeast Wisconsin


2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I have two books in my stack and am looking forward to both of them. I am currently subscribed to the Once Upon A Book Club Box and have some books from there to catch up on. The Lost Vintage by Ann Mah and The Retreat by Mark Edwards I am looking forward to them both.


3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Chicken Wings in my air fryer

4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I am the mother of 3 grown children and the mother to two dogs and 2 cats. I haven't been reading and blogging much as I went back to work after raising my kids. I love to read and I love to participate in the readathon.


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 have done many of these readathons and I don't think there is much I will do differently.

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon April 28, 2018



I have been a terrible blogger and a terrible reader as of late. I love to participate in Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon twice a year if I can. It brings back such good memories for me. It helps get my reading mojo moving again. I am getting a late start as I am a second shifter so early morning doesn't happen for me anymore. I was so excited for the readathon that I had a hard time sleeping. I have some errands to run in a bit but as soon as they are done, I am putting on some comfy sweats and digging into my books.


I will update this post as needed throughout the day

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Cool, very cool, Southeast Wisconsin


2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I am starting The Taster by V.S. Alexander. I received this book as part of my Once Upon A Bookclub subscription. I love this subscription service! They send you a box every month with a book and gifts to be opened at certain times in the book. The gifts relate to the story and help to make the book come to life. The best part is I have read books from genres I probably would have never tried.


3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Cookies and Cream Poptarts, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Instant Pot Mac n Cheese


4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I used to be a stay at home mom that loved to read and so I started this blog. With my kids being grown, I have returned to the workforce so I don't have as much time for reading and blogging which makes sad as I love the book blogging community and reading.


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 hope to do more reading
