Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Hours 13-16 & Mini-Challenge
I decided to incorporate the Hour 16 mini-challenge into this update post. This challenge is hosted over at The Bluestocking Society, and it’s all about rereads.
This challenge is perfect because I just started rereading Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty. I read this a couple of years ago, and I didn’t love it. But so many of the bloggers I follow absolutely LOVE this series, so I thought I’d give it another shot. I think I may not have loved it because I hadn’t yet become addicted to YA books at the time. So far I’m enjoying my reread!On to my update…

April 22, 2012 at 6:30 amI should probably read Sloppy Firsts, but I admit, the title is a bit off putting. Hope all is going well with your Readathon! I'm having a blast, but not a lot of actual reading has gotten done.
I'm here to cheer
You're here to read
But have no fear
You're a bookish breed!

April 22, 2012 at 7:59 amI know – horrible title! That definitely colored my judgement the first time around. But I think I'm enjoying the book a lot more this time!
Thanks for the cheer! ;)
