I know this is really close to the date, but I'm finally announcing my plan to participate in Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon. I will be staying at college this weekend and my roommate is leaving so with the apartment to myself I'm hoping to have a productive day of reading. My friend that I hang out with on the weekends mostly also has plans for Saturday. She says she feels bad, but I was secretly happy because I knew that would give me lots of hours of reading. In April I hung out with her while doing the read-a-thon. I just ending up spending most of the time in her room reading instead of talking to her. That isn't abnormal in our friendship because she knows I read a lot anyways especially on the weekends when I can ignore schoolwork.
My plan for Saturday is to wake up around 7 when the read-a-thon starts and read in bed until around 8:00. Then I'm going to get dressed and go downstairs to do laundry. I don't trust the people in my complex so I stay downstairs with my laundry in the laundry room no matter how many weird stares I get. While I'm down there I will read. Once my laundry is done and put away then I'm going to take a shower and get ready for the day. After that I will just pick random places to read changing places frequently. I'm hoping it is nice outside so that I can read outside for a while. I also will probably head down to the library and read there for quite a few hours. Their chairs are so comfortable. I have a volleyball game to watch at 4:00 so that will be my long break for the day. I'm excited for the read-a-thon.
I'm currently on page 234 of How Zoe Made Her Dreams Mostly Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer. I plan to finish this early in the read-a-thon day. Then I will start Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian. I also have Moonlight by Ann Hunter to read on my computer.

I will also be participating in the Wonderfully Wicked Readathon which starts today.
I just signed up for this today too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI just did my post today too! Good luck - sounds like you have a great plan :)
ReplyDeleteJust checking in to make sure you're eating and drinking to keep those pages turning! (reading is hard work, those pages can get heavy after a while). What's your favourite thing about Read-A-Thon-ing so far? (Team Marquez)
ReplyDeleteI had such a productive morning. I got lots of reading done.
DeleteI'm finally making my rounds to blogs I read now that the read-a-thon is over. So glad you were able to participate. I totally get the laundry room thing. The last thing you want is to walk in later and find out that someone has dumped your clean and dry clothes out on some random countertop.
ReplyDeleteyep so that accounted to around 2 hours of reading and 90 pages later I came back to my room. I took a long bath which got me a lot of reading done also.
