Dewey’s Read-A-Thon: Doing what I can
Posted by: LizzieI wish my heart was in it, but because the morning was spent on the set of a documentary with Corey, I didn’t kick off the day reading like I thought I was going to. In fact, I hadn’t put two and two together when I signed up for the read-a-thon. So here we are well into the day and I haven’t picked up so much as one book.
Never fear! I’m about to hole myself up in the bedroom and try to finish The Sex Lives of Cannibals. I was supposed to finish it for my book club (COUGH) last month. I also have a few books in my TBR/TBF pile–and it is quite literally a pile next to my bed:
- From Dead to Worse (book 8 in the Sookie Stackhouse series)
- When You Are Engulfed in Flames, by David Sedaris
- Belong to Me, by Maria de los Santos
- Into the Forest, by Jean Hegland
I’ll try to check in a little later this evening, so I hope the rest of you are enjoying the read-a-thon festivities! I see there are plenty of mini-challenges and fun prizes to win. Thanks again to everyone who put this together in honor of Dewey. I sure do miss her and this event is bittersweet indeed.

Traditional read-a-thon blessing:
May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Hope you get some reading time!
