  5. It's one of my favorite book blogger events, but I've only had time to participate once. So far my schedule looks clear, so I'll just have to wait and see. I never know what kind of surprise work (for my husband) or school event is going to come my way.

  6. This sounds like a fun event. Don't know if I could participate for 24 hours are not, but I'll definitely be watching off and on from the sidelines.

    Thanks for dropping by Thoughts in Progress and following. Dropping in to say thanks and wave hello. :)

  8. I so want to participate in this event! I love visiting the blogs! Unfortunately my schedule on Oct. 9th won't allow any fun time! :-( BUT, I'll be hopping around to the blogs and encouraging everyone along on this great reading event!

    Thanks for sharing!

  9. The readathon is one of my favorite events, although I never manage 24 hours. I always seem to have a theatre gig that takes my evening. (Actually I have one this year, but may reschedule it.) Plus, I do need my sleep, so I go to bed when I'm tired.

  10. The kids and I participated last time and had a ball. This time around however we have sports activities all day Saturday, so maybe we will just jump in later in the day. We'll see. Thanks for the reminder!

  12. This is a great event. Unfortunately, my schedule will not allow me to participate this time. I'm hoping to take part in the spring.

  13. Hi Deb, Nice of you to drop by. It's been a while since I visited myself. I'll be gone the whole next weekend to the Bourchercon convention in San Francisco so won't be participating in the read a thon. My family will want my undivided attention. Will drop by to cheer everyone on though.
