Dewey’s 24 Hour Reverse Readathon Prep! (I’m Psyched!)

Today is definitely one of those days where I wish I could give up sleep for a night to read. Though, I know better! I’m still psyched to get an early start tomorrow morning. Now that we’re a little closer I know exactly what I’m reading tomorrow besides starting King’s IT.

This month I’m participating in not only r/bookclub on Reddit, but also a buddy/group read. Discussion days follow tomorrow – don’t worry that doesn’t take too long. So, I decided to begin the day with what I need to read from Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried and Madeline Miller’s Circe. I’ve wanted to read Circe forever and kept putting it off because of how many books I have on my TBR list. Now, that I was invited to a group read I have no reason to put it off. After those little sections of reading are out of the way I’m all over IT.

Currently I’m waiting on an Instacart order for my snacks tomorrow. Once they arrive I’m all ready for the readathon!

Good Morning! Happy Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon!

Happy Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon!

Back in April I participated in this particular readathon for the first time. I had a lot of fun and couldn’t wait for it to circle back around. Recently I’ve been off to bed before 8PM (I live in EST) so for it starts now. I woke up about 4:00 this morning. I’m not aiming for any certain goals today page, time or book wise. I’m just looking forward to chilling out and getting some reading done. I read 2 books yesterday, though. So, we’ll see how today goes.

When I first made my TBR list for Dewey’s this time I had planned to start the day with Eleven Things I Promised by Catherine Clark, but I read that on the first and second, because I couldn’t wait any longer.

So today I’ll be starting with Willow Trees Don’t Weep by Fadia Faqir. It’s the last book I need for my O in Muggle Studies (O: Read a book written by a person of color.) for the N.E.W.T.s readathon this month!

I’ll check in soon! Happy reading!

XOXO
