Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon 2020
This weekend Im taking part in Deweys 24 Hour Readathon, which runs from 8 am EST / 1 pm GMT on Saturday 25th April to the same time on Sunday 26th April. The idea is to read as much as you can for those 24 hours and any forms of book count, including eBooks, audiobooks and reading to your children.
The readathon was started by Dewey (blog retired) in 2007 and is currently hosted by Andi and Heather, but due to change hands from October 2020. Find out more about the challenge here.
