Dewey #readathon April 2016: Hour One: Hello World
What is Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon? For 24 hours, we read books, post to our blogs, Twitters, Tumblrs, Goodreads and MORE about our reading, and visit other readers’ homes online. 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 is archived at the Wayback Machine). 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.
Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon is hosted by Heather and Andi of The Estella Society, with help from volunteers.
Opening Meme
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I am in not quite so sunny Florida!
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
I don’t really have a set list of books planned. I am just going to go with what grabs me on my ereader today.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
My snacks are pretty basic since I am trying to diet. Pop-tarts and Smartfood popcorn and cucumber slices.
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I am a work at home mom of three, all with ADHD, one of whom is autistic and with this being autism awareness month, I have also been super busy advocating for autism acceptance, because to me, awareness is just not enough.
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?
This is not actually my first readathon, but I haven’t done it in a few years and I don’t even remember what I did or how I did it last time. I am just going to try to relax and have fun. I was too competetive about it last time, that much I know.
