Deweys Readathon 2015 FINAL update

Below is last year's final post and I feel the exact same this year!

So, after my last update my nap became a full night of sleep!  Have a quiet morning, so going to put in a few more hours this morning of reading.  I wouldn't call this a bust, I absolutely loved being a part of the readathon.

Deweys Readathon - 12AM Update

A little pumpkin cider, pumpkin fudge and some pumpkin tea made up the past four hours.  

The dogs have been great reading companions all day, but we have hit curfew so may have to move to the bedroom so they will stop whining for having to stay up past their bed times!  Reading in bed isn't always successful, we shall see!

Deweys Readathon - 8PM Update

In the past four hours, I have sent the husband off to work, had dinner and caught up on some social media things.  I only have 120 pages left in House Trained, so my goal is to finish that before the next update.

Deweys Readathon - 4PM Update

So I have only finished one book, but took a power nap, ate and had to clean a little.  I am excited about my next read and hopefully I can get into it fast and it will read well.

Dewey's Readathon - 12PM Update

My first update at noon.  I started about a half an hour late, didn't get up in time and had morning dog duty, but once I got settled with breakfast and tea, the reading began!

I started a new book this morning - Uncovered by Leah Lax.  A memoir about a woman who lived her life as a Hasidic Jew and left the church.  I am just over halfway done at 188 pages and hoping to finish before my next update at 4pm.

Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon 2015

With a quiet Saturday in the works, I decided to sign up for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon.  I have done this once before and updated every four hours, so I think I am going to do that again.  Not sure if I will  make it all 24 hours, but I am going to make a valiant effort!                                                                                                                                 Here is the stack that I am going to work through, it is probably overly ambitious, but here it is:

Dewey's Readathon - 8AM update

Here we are at the start!  I have a banana, PB2, vanilla yogurt shake in hand and my nook fully charged and my stack of books next to me in my library in my comfy chair.  I am excited to see how this day of reading will go.

I will be updating on this blog every four hours, but will be chatting it up on twitter @kdurham2 .  

Currently reading:  Killer WASPs by Amy Korman

I am reading from my chair in my home in Alexandria, VA.
I am looking forward to every book in the stack, only picked good ones!
At noon, I am putting baked potato soup in the crockpot, so going to get excited for dinner and maybe a late night bowl of it!
I will be reading along side two crazy pups today, one currently in my lap and one chasing a ball down the hallway!
I will definitely take naps this year, I crashed last year and missed out on the end.

Dewey's Read a Thon October 2014

It is the perfect timing for a read a thon!  I have quite the list of books that are on the TBR and I would love any excuse to curl up and read for 24 hours.  

I will start bright and early Saturday morning at 8am and will see how it all goes.  I will be on puppy duty and may have to take a break to spend time with the husband before he goes off to work, but going to try to do most of the 24 hours of reading.  

Any snack suggestions?



So here is the stack that I am going to try to accomplish this weekend:
Until You're Mine by Samantha Hayes
Certainty by Victor Bevine
Last Train to Babylon by Charlee Fam
How to Bake a Man by Jessica Barksdale Inclan

Maybe a little ambitious with my schedule, but I think of it as having a few options!

I will only be updating here every four hours or so, so if you want the minute by minute details, check me out on Twitter - @kdurham2

Happy Thon Reading!
