Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon is a readathon hosted over at 24hourreadathon.com, where readers challenge themselves to read for 24 hours. You can find out more info on their FAQ Page.

 

Hi everyone! I’m very excited to be participating in Readathon again! It’s been a year and a half, I think. And this is my 10th readathon! That’s kind of exciting!

I’ve decided to just do one all-encompassing post this time. So I’ll be using this post to share my opening meme, updates, mid-event survey, mini challenges, end of event meme, and any other info.
