After beginning on the William C. Morris Award Committee this past winter, I became a follower of my fellow committee members on social media. Sarah, who blogs here at Sarah Reads Too Much on WordPress blogged recently about various readathons and activities she does with her reading and one of the recent posts intrigued me about a readathon. I’ve never participated in one and it’s summer time, so why the heck not!?

I got on the Dewey Twitter page and their website and discovered that their traditional readathons start in the morning and ends the next morning but they threw in a summer REVERSE marathon that will begin at night and end the next night both because it is friendly to folks on the other side of the world, and why not?!

And I never go half in to anything I do (Sandwiches! here’s looking at you), so I am going to try to read for as much of the 24 hours as I can. I know I have one obligation that will take me out of commission for an hour and a half tomorrow afternoon and aside from a family meal, I want to get as close to 24 hours as I can. I’m actually going to run a stopwatch of reading time to let you know in a follow up post how much time I dedicated because why not?! 

Part of being a member of this community where you sign up is to also connect with fellow bookworms, checking in on your social media outlets. I’ll update on Twitter and Instagram. Be on the lookout for updates to what I’m reading, a cute pajama outfit I bought for the occasion, my snacks, day reading attire, and more. Yes, I did buy a pajama outfit for this. Tell me why wouldn’t you?! 

So follow me on my bookish adventure with the hashtags #reversereathon and  #readathon, see what I’m reading, where I’m reading, what I’m wearing, what I’m eating. Why not?!
