Dewey's 24-Hour Reverse Readathon - July 26-27, 2024

[Elyse]

July 26 8pm to July 27 8pm but I'm going to do 24-in-48 July 26 8pm to July 28 8pm to make it easier for myself and get a little more "me-time" this weekend away from Bastien! I was 13 weeks pregnant for last year's Reverse Readathon which is WILD to think about! And now Bastien is 6 months old!

I am also posting on the Goodreads group: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
