Time To Readathon - Dewey's 24 hour Readathon : Sign up Post and TBRList #readathon

Well it is that time again aka Readathon time.  This is my 2nd time participating in Dewey's 24 hour readathon and this time despite the lateness of this sign up post, I have actually had some more time to prepare.  The readathon starts at 10 pm AEST

I have carefully chosen my TBR list for the event ( shown below) and plan to use this post to tick off books as i go and keep track of what I am reading.  My list is a mix of books I need to read for various challenges, ARCs I need to read for review and also just books I have acquired recently that I just haven't had a chance to read yet. I also reserve the right to change books on the list if I need to in case at some stage I decide i am not in the mood for any of the books on the list and go for something else. :-P

I have downloaded a heap of books on to my Kindle and Ipad for just this reason and also as my leg of the Sprint into earth day Challenge relay falls towards the end of the readathon so i will spending at least an hour of paperless reading :-)

Mid Event Survey - Deweys 24 hourReadathon #readathon #deweys24hourreadathon

So its halfway through the readathon and I am currently on Book 2.  True it started at 11pm for me and there has been sleep and a toddler involved so here my questions and answers about my progress so far"

1. What are you reading right now?

Spark by Rachael Kraw

2. How many books have you read so far?

I have read one book so far and am on my second

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?

Ten Thousand Skies above You

4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?

I have a way too cute three and a half year old who is currently bugging me for a mid morning snack.  I have managed to read a few chapters in between colouring, painting, playing Go Fish and reading to her - Wait can I count the books I read to her? If so, I am much farther along :-P


Also the readathon started 11 pm my time, so there has also been some sleep involved

All I can really do is go with the flow and read as I can :-)  I can't lie - the interruptions have been kinda fun :-p








5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

The amount of socialising that goes along with it.  We are reading more than normal but still making friends see what everyone else is reading :-)


Excuse me, I am off to play some more GO Fish before getting back to my reading :-)
