The next Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon is this coming Saturday! These are some of my favorite days all year. My husband has usually taken charge of our little guy for the day so that I could relax and read. This time around, we're enlisting my in-laws to help a little so that my husband can spend the day taking our chimney down (sounds like fun, right?) I'm also meeting my mom for lunch, and then we're spending some time at our library book sale. Saturday is $5-a-bag day, and I'm hoping to find some treasures for myself, as well as a lot of books to cycle through my Little Free Library. It will be a very bookish day, although it won't include quite as much reading as it normally would.
Because of that, I'm keeping my stack small:
Because of that, I'm keeping my stack small:
- The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark (Really short, and I can check another one off my Classics Club list)
- The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde (My Fforde reread for October. Plus Jasper Fforde books are perfect for readathons)
- Edge of Extinction: Code Name Flood by Laura Martin (Can't forget a middle grade pick! I'm sure it won't take me long to devour this one. The first book in the series was awesome.)
I don't have much planned in the way of special food. Last time, I loaded up on snacks and my husband was like, "But I thought this was about reading?". Reading and snacks are both important to the day! I'm going out to lunch and trying to make pizza with a low-carb crust for supper. That sounds pretty special to me (assuming the pizza turns out okay. . .)!
Anyone else joining in on the fun on Saturday? What are your plans?
