Reverse Readathon Hour 4 – Dream Book Nooks

readathon

Hey there, Readathon-ers! Jenn here from the long-defunct The Picky Girl, and I’m so excited to be here to cheer you on for Hour 4.

We talk a lot about what we’ll read and eat/drink during readathons, but I want to know where you’re reading tonight. I’m an equal-opportunity reader when it comes to location – I’ll read in the tub, in bed, on the sofa, or in a chair, here or there or anywhere! (sorry, I was getting serious Dr. Suess vibes) – but I do have a few requirements:

  • books (!)
  • comfy spot to sit
  • pillow and/or blanket
  • something to drink
  • adequate light
  • snuggly pet

I’m here to share some dreamy reading situations, so if you need a break from reading and/or inspiration for your own reading nook, click through.

Do I read in anything as fancy as these spots? No, but it sure is fun to look.

What about you? What are your requirements for reading spots, and where are you reading tonight?

Happy Readathon,

Jenn aka the picky girl

HI THERE READER FRIENDS!!!!!! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!!!!!

I’m Heather, co-hostess of this here Readathon and I am SO EXCITED for this. We love the Readathon, but the Reverse is special because it’s so laid back and WE GET TO READ TOO. So very very happy about ALL OF THIS.

If you’re new to Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, you may be wondering, just who is Dewey? Dewey was amazing. An early book blogger, she came up with the magically idea of having a 24 hour period, where we would all get together, world wide, and just drop everything and read.

Dewey, was clearly brilliant.

Unfortunately, Dewey passed away just a few years after she created this event (and many others) and several book bloggers got together to keep it going. Andi and I inherited it a few years ago, and here we are. Thank you, again, for this marvelous day Dewey. We love and miss you!

So opening survey, now (slightly) new and improved!

1)What fine part of the world are you reading from today? And what time is it where you are?

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

4) Do you have a #reversereadathon plan of attack?

5) Are you doing the readathon solo or with others?

Things To Know This #ReverseReadathon

readathon

Welcome to home base for this season’s Dewey’s #ReverseReadathon! Why do we call it reversed? Because we start at 8pm on a Friday evening in the Eastern time zone of the US whereas we’d normally begin early in the morning here in the States. This gives our international participants…especially those in Australia and the like…to enjoy a little more doable version of the Readathon.

This event is super chill by our normal standards. We post here every 2-3 hours, no prizes, very few challenges, just an extra excuse to read and a healthy dose of bookish community.

We’ll be on and off Twitter for this event, but if you’d like the most concentrated groups of readers participating, you’ll want to check out:

Our hourly Instagram challenge, the Facebook group, and Goodreads!

We’ll see you back here at start time! In the meantime, if you need your own local start, visit the Start Times page!
