Reverse Readathon Hour 1 – EMOCLEW!! Er, Welcome!

via GIPHY

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?

  2. 1)What fine part of the world are you reading from today? And what time is it where you are?
    I am in DFW, TX and it is 7:00 PM

    2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
    I hate this question. Any of them. All of them. The whole point of my TBR is it is all books I am eager to read.

    3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
    again, any and all of them. That’s why I got them.

    4) Do you have a #reversereadathon plan of attack?
    I will read until I can’t stay awake, since it starts in the evening for me. When I get tired, I’ll go to bed for a bit. Then back to reading. I also have a slew of audio books lined up so I can listen and crochet to keep myself busy when I get tired. Novellas and graphic novels for when I hit the wee hours of the morning and don’t have much attention span left.

    5) Are you doing the readathon solo or with others?
    Solo. If I were with people, it would be too tempting to talk and do other things than read.

    I am reading from Georgia!!!! I’m a Southern Peach! I live on EST time. It’s currently 20:20.

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

    I’m actually winging it this readathon. I’m still suffering from post book convention funk. I am starting The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I also plan to read a little bit of Taketown Twenty by Janet Evanovich and One Plus One by Jojo Moyes. My audiobook to start with is Dear Maude by Denise Liebig

    3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

    Oreos and Milk

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

    Taking advantage of the overnight hours to read read read!!!! (Oh wait I do that anyways)

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

    Sadly, I’m doing it solo. I’d love to have people near me who I can read with. Besides my mom. I love her dearly but readathons are over her head a bit.

  11. I’ve woken up a little late for joining this readathon, but it is 2:45am here in Belgium! I don’t actually have any plans for this readathon other than READ THE BOOKS, but I’m currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone (illustrated) and really enjoying it. I can’t wait until I have my first cup of tea and a bowl of Frosties but I’m trying to wait until a more reasonable hour before eating that much sugar! And I’m doing this readathon all by myself, apart from my very purry cat.
