Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Progress Report

I am in the midst of the Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon. So far the day has gone much worse than I thought reading wise. I did think I would get a good 6 hours of reading done in the car, however that did not happen, rather we discussed colleges on the drive there and the college visited on the way home. I did have a delightful time with my oldest and his plans.

Pizza has been ordered and I will be sitting down to read a different selection of books than I previously thought I would be reading, due to time. My hopes are to finish and read:

  • A Distant Melody by Sarah Sundin
  • Forget Me Not by Vicki Hinze
  • How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly by Connie May Fowler
  • Sea Witch by Helen Hollick (something keeps interrupting me with this book and I am loving this book).
Go Team Byron!

    Hi Jennifer,

    I found you on the google map of readers. Apparently we're neighbors. I'm reading from Dunedin, FL today. :)

    Good luck tonight! But honestly, the college discussing is really important so I'm glad you did that. I hope your son is enjoying the visits.

    Just stopped here to leave a cheer – "Rock on, Readathon-er!"

    I'm one of your Team Byron teammates. There's still plenty of Readathon left – happy reading :-D .

    The reading will stop
    Tomorrow
    Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
    your book count will be higher
    Just keep thinking about tomorrow
    all the great books you will have to talk about
    with your blogger friends
    If you get blurred or sore, or sleepy
    Just stick up your chin
    and grin
    and say
    My TO BE READ PILE, Tomorrow
    will be smaller than it was before
    and your spirits will soar
    because then TOMORROW, TOMORROW You can go shopping TOMORROW at Amazon and BUY SOME MORE!

    Time with your son – that is awesome Jennifer :)

    I always choose books and wind up reading something else… hope you are getting in some good reads now :)

    I have felt as if I'm not living up to my read-a-thon potential, either, although you have a much more valid distraction than I do! I just keep getting sidetracked by the cat and my husband and …staring at the wall…

    Go Team Byron :-) ! I think many of us with kids find that we get less reading time during the readathon than we hope for. But still more than on an usual weekend, probably!
