Dewey's 24 Hour Reverse Readathon!

In case you haven't heard, Dewy's is doing a Reverse Readathon and since I love any excuse to read, I'm joining up. This Reverse Readathon doesn't start Saturday morning and run all day this time; it's starting Friday night 8:00pm Eastern 6:00pm my time. So it's starting...like...right now!

Here's what I'll be reading.


I've got a couple of GNs, my traditional Georgia Nicholson book (I'm on number 7) and I'll be working on the books I'm currently reading too.

Let's face it, most of us don't participate in these things for the legit 24 hrs. People have to eat and live life and use the restroom, right? And there's that pesky thing called sleep. I'm never able to do a full 24 hrs and I highly doubt this Reverse Readathon will help with that. I need sleep people! So I'll be trying to go to bed later and trying to get up earlier but I will be taking a sleeping break...especially because, as I write this, I'm already tired. Sigh!

As per usual, I won't be updating on my blog; I'll be on InstagramTwitter and Litsy (@Jenny) if you care to see how I'm doing. One thing I wanted to do differently was keep track of the time I actually spend reading so I'll be using my stopwatch. This should be interesting...or really depressing. 

Are you participating? Wish me luck! I'll see you on the other side!

  1. Readathons sound so fun, but I've never actually participated in one. I can only read for that length of time when my kids are in school and my husband's at work. Otherwise, there are way too many disruptions. Have fun with it, but get some sleep too!

    1. Thanks. Interruptions are annoying but a part of life.

  2. There are some people that make all of their snacks in advance and have an audiobook on hand for when they need to shower/go to the bathroom/drive somewhere. Personally, I've never been that dedicated to a readathon. I just read whenever I have the time! It's been way less in recent years because my kids have dibs on mom time, but there are naps and bedtime, lol. Never a full 24 hours though... I like sleeping too much.

  3. I've never made it the full 24 either, but it's still fun to participate. I hope you're enjoying what you're reading and all your awesome snacks!

  4. I had fun with the Instagram count down, but I don't think I can participate in the actual readathon.

  5. I have never done a read-a-thon. I hate pressure like that, but good luck to you!

    1. I only managed 6 hours. Guess I ignore the pressure. 😬

  7. I can't read fast enough to join in on a reading marathon, but I hope it was a lot of fun! I do wish I could knock out a few books in a day....

    1. I was impressed with my numbers...though two were GNs so they went quick.
