Let's Get Together! Read! Read! Read!

Dewey has scheduled another 24 Hour Read-a-thon! Remember how much fun it was last October? Well, enough participants remembered and clamored for another. It is scheduled to start on Saturday June 28 at 9 AM Pacific Coast Time USA and run through 9 AM Sunday June 29.

This time there is an option for Readers in the challenge to raise money for the charity Reading Is Fundamental.

Read all the details on the FAQ here. And sign up here to be either a Reader, Cheerleader, Prize Donor, or organizing assistant to Dewey. Or any combination of two or more.

I just signed up as Reader. I aim to read the WHOLE 24 hours like I did last time, taking only very short breaks to post updates. This year ought to go much better as I got the MUCH needed new prescription glasses about a month after the last one. Plus this time I'm going to prepare by collecting some short novels, some books of poetry, some childhood favorites, some large print books and even some graphic novels and/or picture books. A few Roald Dahl and a big stack of Dr Seuss could make the homestretch a sweet glide instead of the gritty cliff-climb it was for me last time.
