This week has been… long. That makes me even more excited that this Saturday is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, one of the best book nerd days of the entire year. The weather this week has been kind of gross and Saturday doesn’t look much better — perfect for reading. Like usual, I’ll have a post up [...]
Readathon
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 [...]
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 [...]
Happy Read-a-Thon everyone! Like I said in my book stack post yesterday, I’m going to use my neglected Tumblr, A Little Bit of Dorkiness, and my Twitter feed (@kimthedork) for updates throughout the day.
But I saw on Twitter that Jenn of Jenn’s Bookshelves links up her Tumblr posts to a main update past on her blog, which seemed like a good idea. So I’m going to copy here — you can find updates quickly on Tumblr, but I’ll occasionally stop in here to respond to comments as needed and post links to what I’m up to.
The Readathon is coming!
Tomorrow, Saturday, April 28, is Dewey’s Read-a-Thon, an excuse for book nerds around the world to set aside their responsibilities for a day to spend an entire day reading. While this is what I end up doing most Saturday afternoons, there’s something special about doing it at the same time as nearly 400 other people around the world.
Whew! You wouldn’t think reading all day would leave you exhausted, but here I am, ready to spend all of Sunday being lazy and watching football. I finally called it a night about 1:30 a.m., but managed to sneak in a few pages after my last formal update. Here are my final Read-a-Thon stats: Pages [...]
Happy Read-a-thon! This is one of my favorite days to be a book nerd, when readers all over the world come together to ready and read for 24 hours. If you aren’t familiar with the Read-a-thon, you can find out more here. This is a sticky post that I’ll be updating throughout the day (most [...]
Wow, I am beat! Anyone else who did Dewey’s Read-a-Thon totally brain dead today?
Despite my excursion to the ballet, I managed to finish four books (1,113 pages) in 9 hours and 20 minutes, which I’m totally happy with. I don’t feel like I did as much cheerleading as I did in the past, but I’m not sure.
