Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon is in one week. I am very excited about it. I'm sure that's no shock, though. 24 hours of reading and blogging bliss. All right, it won't really be a full 24 hours for me but I promise I'm going to try really hard to make it through the entire event.I'm thinking about the books I want to read during the event. I have no idea what I should have at the ready for next Saturday. In fact, I'm experiencing a bit of a reading rut. This happens to me once or twice a year. I'll finish a book (in this case, the last of Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larsson) and then find that I just can not get involved in a new book.
I need to get over this rut in time to do the Read-a-Thon. My family knows I'm participating in this event. My husband has even agreed to take our kids for lunch and a lengthy playdate so I can do this. I guess if I'm still in this funk next Saturday, I'll read some of my favorite books. That wouldn't be a bad thing but I am hoping to read some new material.
Any suggestions for the Read-a-Thon reading pile?
Oh I didn't know this was happening and now I'm really excited!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my post was helpful, Sarah. This will be my first time doing this, too. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI tend to read a lot of things that are rather slow going, so I'm going to lighten it up for the Read-a-Thon! My stack will include "The Hunger Games" (borrowed from my daughter)and a few mysteries - maybe an Agatha Christie and a Sue Grafton (she wrote the Alphabet Mystery series - "A" is for Alibi, etc.) I usually read several books at once, (so I have a book for every mood!) and I'll probably do the same thing in the Read-a-Thon.
ReplyDeleteSherry - I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person left who hasn't read The Hunger Games.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of having different books to suit different moods. I love mysteries and romance so I think I'll read some of both genre for the Read-a-Thon.
