Avid Reader and Geek Girl’s comments from the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon group.

Susan wrote: "“Off book” — love it! Hope you enjoy wherever your reading takes you today!"

Oh god, I didn't even realize the pun, LOL, thanks!

Bernadette wrote: "What is your favorite place to read? Also do ya'll want to do a reading sprint at 5? Yes or no? Let me know?"

I like to read in bed or in my recliner.

What are your favorite non-fiction sub-genres? Do you read non-fiction during the readathon?

I mostly read True Crime and the occasional memoir. I don't usually read non-fiction during the readathon unless it's a book I'm already partway through.

Bernadette wrote: "What is your favorite drink while reading?"

Water

I hope you feel better soon!

Mid-Event Survey! (A bit late!)

What are you reading right now? Teach Me by Olivia Dade

How many books have you read so far? 1 book finished so far!

What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the readathon? I look forward to hopefully finishing You Should Have Seen This Coming by Shani Michelle

Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Not really.

What surprises you most about the readathon, so far? No surprises.

I LOVE audiobooks! I'm dyslexic so I can read a LOT faster with audiobooks!

Jedi is glad to hear someone is reading about one of his renowned order!

Hi again!

So, do you sleep/nap during the readathon? All at once? Or in short naps?

I tried once not to, but I was exhausted for over a week! Dangers of being chronically ill I guess. So now I try to get at least a few hours of sleep. This time I got a little under 5 hrs of sleep. (all at once) So now I'm ready to tackle the rest of the readathon.

Went a bit "off book" and started Teach Me early this morning.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that!

Sounds fun! I'm sure he's cute at least!

Lynnette wrote: "My dogs keep coming into the room and having a rousing play session and then leaving again. So, sort of."

LOL, well they can distract you and then leave I guess.

Jamie wrote: "I have 8 reading buddies this weekend- 7 of my own cats, plus one rescue kitten. By the end of the weekend I may be swapping the kitten for a couple different rescue kittens, older kiddos with ring..."

LOTS of kitties! I'm jealous!

Cynda wrote: "I sorry Avid Reader. I thought I had Hour 2. Shall I co-mod Hour 4 as scheduled, or would you like to trade?"

No problem! Feel free to do hour 4. I have plenty of slots tomorrow!

If this is your first readathon Hi! And welcome! If this isn't your first then you know I always do a Reading Buddy discussion for one of my co-mod hours.

So show me or tell me about any reading buddies you have for this readathon. Furry, human, or anything else!

This
is Jedi, my emotional support dog, he's a bichon frise and mini poodle mix.

I'm also joined by my mom.
