#deweys24hrreadathon

For Dewey's October 2023 Readathon

(This is going up early so folks can plan ahead.) You are welcome to share your projects for this challenge on the social media you will be using during the readathon, during or after the readathon. #deweysreadthon #deweysoctober2023

1: Bookmarks- Make or select a bookmark for one of the books you are reading during the readathon. Share a photo of your bookmark.

2. Create a 5-10 song playlist of music inspired by one of the books you are reading during the readathon. Share your playlist (as a text list, spotify playlist link, etc.)

3. Write a review of one of the books you are reading, as if you are screening books for a TV producer who may want to make a miniseries or TV movie based on your book.

4. Imagine that one of the books you are reading is being made into a major film. Cast your book's film. Who are the main characters, and who will play them?

Are you excited about our Spring Readathon? We'll start at 8am Eastern Time on Saturday, April 29th, and finish Sunday, April 30th at 8am Eastern Time.

For the week leading into our readathon we'll be doing a series of 2 day 'sprints' For each one, pick your TBR and see how many books/pages/hours you can finish. These sprints would be a great way to revisit previous TBRs, or to focus on those stubbornly slow books you'd love to have finished by the readathon.

Relay Sprint 1 - April 22-23 Relay Sprint 2 - April 24-25 Relay Sprint 3 - April 26-27 Relay Sprint 4 - April 28

April 29 is our Readathon, starting at 8am Eastern Time.

Shelfie Time - Post photos of your bookshelves.

Make something inspired by a book you read for the readathon. Post a picture of what you made.

How is your readathon going so far? We have been reading for a couple hours now, and if you have not taken a break yet, you really should stand up, move around, drink something, eat something, pet the reading buddies, etc. Then grab your book for our second scheduled reading sprint. We start at the top of the hour, and the sprint officially ends at the end of Hour 4.
