This was a great readathon for me and I was able to focus more than I was expecting to (back to reality today - ugh). I read two complete books and part of three others. I'll be working on trying to finish those today. Ha ha - I NEVER get tired of reading. 😊

Upcoming Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon - April 25th
In these tough times, it's so nice to have something to look forward to (other than life getting back to "normal" - that's going to take awhile). I'm determined to focus and concentrate and become totally absorbed in my books and the reading community for 24 hours!! Can't wait. Back with the stack when it gets a little closer...
