It is almost time for the Fall 2015 Dewey’s #ReadaThon (this Saturday).
I am doing something a little different and will be reading for Charity. I will be donating to a charity for Diabetes in honor of my Dad, My Sons Teacher and my Daughter “Boyfriend” (she’s 7, god help me).
I had a blast doing this last time and it was so much fun, I am hoping to last longer than I did but I will stock up on LOTS of coffee and hoping to reach my goal and finish all the books on the list.
I will be updating throughout the read-a-thon to tell you my progress and show you some pictures of what has been going on. I will also try and do a couple of the mini challenges but I really want to get reading so I might only do a few.
My Goal:
I will be starting at 8am on Saturday not sure if I will make it the entire time but I am sure as hell going to try.
I have high hopes for this time around. I am looking to read 4 books but I am not stressing if I don’t read them all. They are full length books no novellas. I am also hoping the kids jump in with me to read even if it’s just one book, I think it will be fun to have them read with me and help with the charity donation.
What I will be reading:
I am making a minor change to the list of books I am going to read. I have decided that I will not be listing them since I am in a rather weird reading mood and going to just going to do a little shelf love. So as I read I will be adding each book I am currently reading and/or finished with and what will be coming next depending on how are into the book I am. It’s so hard to pick a book when you have so many you want to read first 🙂
Charity Goals
I will be donating to MOSH FOR A CURE 4
Raise Money and Awareness for Juvenile Diabetes! This year Mosh for a Cure will be donating the money to Dr DENISE FAUSTMAN and FAUSTMAN LABS. She is one of the leading doctors searching for a cute for Type 1 Diabetes! Click on the Doctors name for more information about her and her research.
Here is how my totals are determined:
- $5 for every book read:
- 10 cents for each comment (on any Dewey’s Post: Twitter, FB, Instagram, Blog):
- 10 cents for every tweet I receive about the #ReadAThon:
- $1 for every review I write after the book is read:
- $2 for every hour missed:
- $1 for every hour participated:
- $1 for every mini-challenge completed:
- 50 cents for every person that donates to the link above:
Just let me know in the comments that you donated. You don’t have to have a specific amount, .50 cents will go to my total regardless of what you donate. So if you want to donate a $1 that is awesome any amount will help but you don’t have to donate it was just something I added in since diabetes is something that hits close to home.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will cheer me on. Feel free to comment before they will count towards my donation. I am very excited to be doing this, are you joining the read-a-thon?
I hope you have an amazing day!
Good luck. I’m not able to participate, but I’ll be making a donation to K9 for Warriors anyway. I’m also going to pop in from time to time to cheer readers on.
That is awesome that you are still making the donation! Thank you! I am looking forward to doing it again!
Good luck with the readathon! And I hope you’ll raise a lot for your charity!
Thank you! I am hoping this will help her reach her goal. Type 1 is bad and she’s only 15 so any thought that this doctor might be able to help is great!
WOOT! Good luck! I know you can do this. GO MICHELLE!
Thanks Bea! I’m hoping to last but even if I don’t it’s fine I’ll be happy if I can make it past 2am.
Good Luck! We can totally do this 🙂 🙂
Thank you! We totally can!!!
Yay! I’m glad you’re participating again! I hope you raise a lot for your charity. 😀
See you on Saturday! 😉
