Guys. Guys! We had 54 posts linked up for our first week of Nonfiction November. That is just so cool. I love that there are so many people jazzed about talking about nonfiction. Thank you! One of the common themes I saw among the posts is that people didn’t feel like they were reading enough nonfiction. [...]

Welcome to the first week of Nonfiction November! I am excited to be your official host this week. Throughout the month, my co-hosts and I will be reading and writing about nonfiction, and encouraging other readers to join us through a series of post topics and a couple of readalongs. Our topic this week asks you [...]
One of my big goals for this year’s Nonfiction November — a month-long celebration of great nonfiction I’m co-hosting with Leslie (Regular Rumination), Katie (Doing Dewey) and Rebecca (I’m Lost In Books) — was to find a way for people who are not bloggers to participate. I love the discussion posts, but I think that format can be difficult [...]
Whee! Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon is finally here! I have seriously been looking forward to this day all week. Work has been a little insane and I could really use a day devoted (almost) entirely to reading. I’ll be doing most of my Readathon updates on Twitter (@kimthedork) and Instagram (kimthedork). I’m also planning to update this post with [...]
The Readathon is coming! This Saturday, October 18 is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, one of my favorite book nerd days of the year. While I love the spring Readathon, I think the fall Readathon is my favorite — fall always feels like the right time to cuddle in and spend the day with books. I’ll have [...]
Last year, my dear book blogging friend Leslie (Regular Rumination) asked me if I’d be interested in joining her in a personal challenge to read and write exclusively about nonfiction in November. After we talked a little more, we decided that it would be fun to open up the project to host a low-key celebration of [...]
Although I’m lucky enough to be at Book Expo America this year, I still wanted to participate in some of the festivities for Armchair BEA, a virtual convention for book bloggers. Today is a day for the intro survey — I hope all readers can learn a little bit more about me from these questions! [...]
Happy Readathon day, friends and fellow readers. I am so excited to spend the day cuddled up with several good books. Throughout the day I’ll be doing updates on my Tumblr, A Little Bit of Dorkiness, and my Twitter feed (@kimthedork) and, periodically, collecting them using Storify. You should be able to see the embedded Storify for my [...]
The Readathon is coming! This Saturday, April 26 Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, an excuse for book nerds around the world to set aside their responsibilities for a day to spend an entire day reading. I’ve only finished four books this month, so I’m pretty excited for a weekend devoted to good books. It seems like every [...]
What is more fun than a book blogging event that includes nonfiction and alliteration? Nothing! I should back up. A few weeks ago, Leslie from Regular Rumination asked me if I’d be interested in joining her in a personal challenge to read and write exclusively about nonfiction in November. Leslie is one of my favorite [...]
