Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon



I will be participating in this, my first, 24 Hour Read-a-Thon. I am really excited and hoping I will be able to stay awake. It may sound a little boring that I am hoping to finish the 2 reads that I have already started, but they are both great books, so I'm looking forward to completing them! If by chance that I feel like a change, I'm going to look for a shorter read.  These are the two books I plan on finishing and where I'm starting with them at 8AM.

The Autobiography of Henry VIII - Margaret George
  • starting on page 68 of 930 pages
The Pillars of the Earth (audiobook/reread) - Ken Follett
  • starting at 19 hours and 32 minutes of 40 hours 23 minutes total.

I have a lot of driving to do today so that will be when I switch to the audiobook.

This should be fun!

    Thanks for the cheer! I was out driving most of the day so I was listening to Pillars of the Earth. It's so good!

  4. I love audiobooks too, I'm listening to those in the car more now than music! A good reader just makes it wonderful! Hope you're enjoying your first time, and that we'll see you again! Here's another cheer for you!

    (To the tune of "Rawhide")
