Get excited because drum roll please........
This Saturday April 26th marks the annual Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon!!!!!!!
I am so freaking excited!!!!! I have never participated in this particular 24 Hour Read-A-Thon before, but I have participated in others. I know what you are thinking, Jordan you've never participated in Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon before?! Nope, I haven't. I always was really busy when ever it came around and I didn't have time to just sit down and read. I finally can participate in the most talked about worldwide Read-A-Thon and I can't wait!!! I have orientation for work for a few hours Saturday morning, but I'll still have so much time to read and at least I still can participate:)
WHAT IS A 24 HOUR READ-A-THON?
A 24 hour Read-A-Thon is when you read as much as you can in 24 hours. Some people think you have to read non-stop but that is more than impossible, so you don't have to read the whole 24 hours. You can take breaks to eat, take a shower, take a nap or to do anything else you need to do. During Dewey's 24 hour Read-A-Thon there also will be different people hosting mini challenges every hour that you can participate in and you even can win prizes! :) They even have everybody starting at different times depending on their time zone so everybody can read at the same time.

HISTORY
A woman named Dewey started a 24 Hour Read-A-Thon on her blog The Hidden Side of A Leaf in October 2007. She continued to get more and more people to participate in it each year and it grew into a world wide event. Unfortunately, Dewey passed away in November 2008, but the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon is still held in her honor annually each fall and spring.

- Finish reading The Vampire Diaries The Fury: Nightfall By: L.J. Smith
- Read at least 4 books
- Participate in mini challenges
I can't wait to participate in this event! I am so ready to submerge myself into some good books and to narrow down my TBR list. Are you participating? What are you reading?
