Prepping for Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-thon

Read-a-thon this Saturday! This will be my fifth time participating. I feel like it snuck up on me :O I’m making last minute preparations, but I think this could be my most successful Read-a-thon yet. I’m happy to be back at home to participate (I did the previous two in Japan). Here is my potential reading list. I know it’s an impossible list – I like to have options! Of […]

Which hour was most daunting for you? I wanted and tried really hard to read when I returned to the hostel after a concert, which was during Hour 1 (9-10PM for me), but I was exhausted and distracted, so I only read for 20 minutes.

Which hour was most daunting for you?  Hour 21 (5PM). I was feeling a bit sluggish and hungry but I didn’t want to get up to make food…it was tough to get off the couch 😛 Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? Though I haven’t finished it yet, Room‘s narrative style makes it an easy one to breeze […]
