Ok, so I’m half in, because there is no way I’m even trying to participate for the full 24 hours. My sleep is way too precious right now… I have a 7 month old after all. BUT when I am awake on April 25th, my plan will be to be either reading or cheering on readers. Except when I’m taking care of my son, of course.
This quarantine has been hard on me (I know I’m not alone in that), so I’m really hoping that some time connecting over love of reading will boost my spirits. I haven’t participated in a few years and I miss those happy days, so maybe this will bring me back there? A little bit?
As for what I plan to read. I’m currently working on Avery Flynn’s Parental Guidance. If I finish that (which I hopefully will because we have book club for it on Sunday) then I will go back to my Patricia Briggs reading. I’ve been working on catching up on the Mercy Thompson Universe since December and am almost there.
Are you planning to participate?
Berls is planning to join in on the 24 hour Dewey #readathon. Are you in? Share on X
Good luck Berls! I don’t think I’d do the full 24hrs either as there’s work (even when at home) and the kid and everything else but half a day sounds do-able!
Yep! I can’t wait! I never participate through the whole thing but I try to participate once a year. Usually it’s October because April is always the weekend we would celebrate our anniversary. Since that clearly isn’t happening this year I can participate!
I can’t wait to cheer you on!
Even a couple hours is great. I am thinking I might try at least 18 hours. Maybe lol. Good Luck!
I signed up too. I’ve always wanted to do it. I didn’t think about what I was reading other than I have a pile of ARCs to work on. I don’t think I can manage a full 24 hours but I can do more than 12 probably.
Wishing you all the best for participating with a 7 month old. Time is precious. Remember to get some sleep!
My daughter is now 3 years old, and I’ve only even been “half-in” since she was born. This year I’m hoping her grandparents will look after her so I can be “all in”
Oh Berls, thanks for letting me know it’s on this weekend. I’m definitely joining in, sporadically throughout the day and night. But no way for 24 hours, I could never do that. Now to organise snacks and books!
I just signed up, I figure I have nothing better to do and I love the 24 hour readathon. I will be only half in like you but just cause I am not young anymore and if I can do 16-18 hours I call it a win!
