Well hello! I haven’t seen you website readers at a time other than late/early (1-3am my time) in AGES! This is Andi from Estella’s Revenge, one of your Dewey’s co-organizers here to say, quite simply, LET THE READING BEGIN!
Things to note:
- We have a MAJOR all-event challenge–CHEERS TO BOOKS!–and a rad giveaway going here.
- There will be posts here roughly every two hours since this is a pared down version of what we do in April and October.
- We have hosts on Twitter and Instagram, lots of activity in our Facebook and Goodreads groups.
In short, get comfy with your book, get chatty, and let’s do this thing.
