Dewey's 24-Hour Reverse Readathon - August 2-3, 2019

[Elyse]

The Reverse Readathon is back and I'm in! I'm glad it's in August instead of July and I'm already taking the Friday off from work so I can sleep in and be ready for my 8pm start time. Last year I was up at 5am and I think I barely made it to 10pm. lol. My mom and I were supposed to have a yard sale that weekend at my house but we haven't solidified anything yet so I'm switching to the weekend after! ;)

I am also posting on the Goodreads group (For the Blogless thread) and Instagram @weezielemoo

Comments:
I beat my April time which was my previous best time by 11 minutes. Woot! lol. But my page count is lower because no graphic novels. I'm pretty happy that I read 2 overdue ARCs and got halfway through a third. Will be writing up those reviews and submitting them tomorrow.
