Save the Date: Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon: April 18-19, 2026

Dewey and I go way back. Way, way back. 

I became a blogger in June of 2008, and I participated in my first readathon later that month. I read eight books, all BookCrossing books, and then I gave them away after the readathon. 

I participated every year, at least once a year, until 2021. I only participated one time, briefly, since then. 

I think this will be my 30th readathon!

I learned this morning that the next readathon is next weekend, April 18-19, 2026. Yay! We will start reading at 7 am Central Time April 18th, and end at 7 am April 19th. The goal is to try to read for twenty-four hours straight. 

I shall do Dewey's up big this year:

1. I will compile a stack of books to read for twenty-four hours (or as long as I can until I fall asleep). 

2. I will stock up on some fun snacks and drinks for the 'thon.

3. I will create a template on Canva to keep track of the books I read.

4. I will use one of the two Bingo boards posted on FB for Dewey.

5. I will have fun reading!
