It is October and that has come to mean one thing and one thing only. That's right! It is time for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon. One entire day, 24 hours, dedicated to reading. Saturday, October 12, 2013. Nothing gets me blogging like Dewey's Read-a-thon. This is my third read-a-thon and I am starting to get the hang of things. I now have clear goals and a plan of action. It is not a detailed plan of action, but at least I have the outline of a strategy.
Last read-a-thon I planned my reading location well, which made for a comfortable and relaxing 24 hours. I had plenty of quiet space, supplemental reading materials, great light, internet access, and comfortable chairs. This read-a-thon I have planned the social aspects of the read-a-thon, and I believe it will make for a fun and lively 24 hours.
To make this experience more social, I told EVERYBODY about the read-a-thon and asked them to participate. None of my friends could participate for the entire read-a-thon, but a couple of them volunteered to be cheerleaders #RahRahReadathon! The best thing is that several of my friends and I are getting together for a read-a-thon party. They are cooking the food and I am bringing the books and snacks. We are all going to sprawl out and READ READ READ!!!
Goals

- Read at least one book out of my comfort zone (which means romance and/or horror)
- HAVE FUN!!!
Snacks
- cheese
