This is a collection of my tweets, photos, blog posts and general updates from the Spring 2016 edition of Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon on Saturday, April 23.

Woo hoo! Saturday is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, one of the best book nerd days of the entire year. I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time running around this week, so a full devoted entirely to books is exactly what I’m in the mood for this weekend. Like usual, I’ll have a post up [...]

The spring edition of Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon is just around the corner on Saturday, April 23. The Readathon is truly one of my favorite reading/blogging events since my first one in spring 2009. I feel like I’m even more psyched than normal for this year’s Readathon. No joke, I’ve been scoping out books and [...]

Today’s Book Blogger Appreciation topic is such a good one, I don’t feel like it needs much of an introduction: Day 5: One of the unfortunate side effects of reading and blogging like rockstars seems to be a tendency toward burnout.

And today’s topic is such a good one: Day 1: Introduce yourself [...]

Hello, friends, and welcome to our final week of Nonfiction November, a month-long celebration of nonfiction hosted by myself, Leslie (Regular Rumination), Katie (Doing Dewey) and Rebecca (I’m Lost In Books). Rather than a formal topic the last week of the month — which often gets busy as the holiday season gears up — we decided to spend this [...]

I have to admit, dear readers, that I struggled with this week’s prompt for Nonfiction November. Our host this week is Rebecca (I’m Lost In Books), and our topic is nontraditional nonfiction: Nontraditional Nonfiction: This week we will be focusing on the nontraditional side of reading nonfiction. Nonfiction comes in many forms. There are the traditional [...]

Woo hoo! Welcome to the second week of Nonfiction November. Our host this week is Leslie (Regular Rumination) and our topic is book pairings: Book Pairing: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. It can be an “if you loved this book, read this!” or just two titles that you think would [...]
