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...

StayHome24in48 - The Stack and Updates

I just barely got my stack together, even though the RAT began 20 minutes ago. Normally, I'm on top of it. Oh well, these aren't normal times. I'm hoping to get through one or two of these - not sure how many hours I'll get in or how well I'll be able to focus, but I'm going to give it a go! The top three are already in progress (Catch-22) is on my Kindle.

12-hour update: 2 hr 10 min, combination of reading and audio of Midnight's Children. Need to step it up!
24-hour update: 2 hr 18 min - Midnight's Children and Oval
36-hour update: 2 hr 21 min - Midnight's Children and Catch-22
48-hour update: 47 min (I got busy today.)

Final total: 7 hr 36 min - Didn't finish a book. Oh well.

24in48 Social Distancing Readathon - March 21,22

I was thrilled to learn about this informal event. Keeping away from people, but still connecting with other readers. This is making the best of a bad situation, for sure. I'll start thinking about my stack!
