Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Hours 1-3

Thoughts on current read:  I’m loving The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan!  It’s such a cool concept and he writes so beautifully!  And it’s a great book for this readathon because even though it’s 211 pages, many of the pages only have a few sentences on them.

    I haven't yet read The Lover's Dictionary but I've heard it's a fantastic read. You've spent more time reading than I have, and I didn't get started late. Group readathons are tough!

      You should totally read it! And if you haven't read it by the next readathon, I suggest putting it in your readathon pile, because it was a great quick read!
