Dewey's 24 Hour Reverse ReadaThon August 2019

Good morning! Andi and Heather here, back with a fun summer Reverse Readathon!

A reverse readathon? What does THAT mean?

It’s simple! For our lovely participants around the world, we’ll start this readathon at 8:00 PM Friday, August 2nd and run through August 3rd at 8pm, Eastern Standard time, where we normally start at 8:00 AM Saturday. Still 24 hours.

And, to give us a chance to relax and enjoy the readathon with you, we won’t be doing prizes. Just a few mini-challenges. Just reading, glorious reading, on a hot summer night and day with lots of community and fun.

Since this is still kinda new, please help us spread the word! Share wherever you participate on the internets.

Sign up below. Let’s make this a fun night and day, especially for the readers outside of North America!

Time for me to join, there is only a couple of hours before the start of the Reverse RaT.

In my timezone it starts at 2 am Saturday and ends at 2 am Sunday.

I'm on my way to bed after joining and will sleep the first 4-6 hours of the challenge. But I'll try to get up early and read till the end.

My list of books:

My goal this summer is to read the Pern series in chronological order. During 24in48 I read the 3 first books and another 2 books I have read since.

I have the next 4 in the series ready but after that I'm still waiting for the next 2 from the library.

I'll add another few books to my list as well.

Books:

Dragon Harper by Anne McCaffrey

Dragonheart by Todd McCaffrey

Dragonsblood by Todd McCaffrey

Dragongirl. Todd McCaffrey by Todd McCaffrey

Snow Bells Wedding by De-ann Black

Christmas Cake Chateau by De-ann Black

It's just after 8am. I've had breakfast and I'm ready for my first book.

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? And what time is it where you are?
I'm reading from Denmark and it has just passed 8am which is 6 hours into the RaT. I needed to sleep but now I'll try to read for the rest of the RaT

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
I'm not sure which book that would be. I've got 4 Pern books but 3 of those are written by Todd McCaffrey so I'm a bit unsure of them.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I've tried not to buy too many snacks and what I have is just average sweets.

4) Do you have a #reversereadathon plan of attack?
Nothing different from when I do a normal Dewey's RaT.

5) Are you doing the readathon solo or with others?
My husband will be around but I'm reading solo.

It’s nearly 3 am so the readathon has been finished for close to an hour but I decided to finish my book.

I managed to finish 3 Pern books today.
