Dewey's 24hr RaT ~ Wrap-Up

Which hour was most daunting for you?
At 1:30am, my eyes were really burning. I closed them for a bit while listening to an audio, and was mostly refreshed.

Tell us ALLLLL the books you read!
See Below

Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners?
In general? Chronicles of St Mary's, Great Zoo of China, The Martian..... from what I read? The Arctic Code by Matthew Kirby

What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you smile?
I dunno

How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep?
I'll definitely read, and I would be willing to help.

Dewey's 24hr RaT Mid-Event Survey & 12 Hour Update

Mid-Event Survey

1. What are you reading right now?
Nothing right now, I just finished a book, a little after my normal 12 hour update. Not sure what I'm reading next, probably Never Rest.

2. How many books have you read so far?
I just finished up my 7th book of the day

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Nothing really. I'm going for shorter books this time round to get me into the groove of reading and/or books for challenges.

4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Just my Hubby but He's been letting me read. :) We visited for a few minutes when He got home from work, and talked here and there, but for the most part, He's been watching shows and I've been reading. No real distractions this year, and I only didn't read for about and hour and a half of the first 12 hours.

5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
Nothing changes, so nothing.

Dewey's 24hr RaT ~ Opening meme

It's time for Dewey's! This is my 9th one, so I'm gonna be a little lazy and reuse some of these answers. I keep hoping the questions will change one of these times, and they don't... Ah well. Here's me!



Opening Meme:

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Sparta, NC ~ the middle of no where. :)

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
No specific titles stand out. I haven't been reading this month very much, not like me anyways, so I'm just looking forward to HOPEFULLY settling in and getting a bit of a reading groove back. Going to mix things up with some short stories, novellas, some middle grade books, Netgalley books and anything else that grabs my fancy.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
As always ~ EVERYTHING!!  I'm one of the junky eaters. On the menu this time round: Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast, lunch will likely be burgers, and dinner will be pizza. Snacks include: Snickerdoodles, Smores Goldfish, Animal Crackers and Sour Patch Kids.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
HI! I'm Karsyn, over 40 (though much much younger in spirit), deeply in love with and married to my high school best friend. I LOVE to read, obviously, and am blessed with a ton of time to read. In a typical month I will read 15-20 books, often more, and when there's something going on, like Dewey's, I read a ton more! This month has been a really low month for me, and a few of the books were just short stories, so I haven't read much at all. Beyond my books, I'm a gamer, and I built my own Gaming PC, 3 years ago, which I named Widget (after The Night Circus character). Widget is GREAT and we've had so much fun playing games on him!! Right now if I'm not reading, I'm playing Overwatch, My Time at Portia, Surviving Mars, Frostpunk & Fortnite.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
This is my 9th Dewey's so I'll do what I've been doing, try to read at least 20 total hours of the 24, if not a little more with the help of audios. My Hubby is working (it's always easier to read when He isn't here) so I hope to get a lot in before He gets home.

Dewey's Sign-up

Cutting it close with this Dewey's sign-up, so I'll be brief.

Joining in, as I have for the last 8 Dewey's. I have to say, I'm the least excited about this one as I am in all the ones I've done before. Mainly, because I just haven't been reading much. I've finished 3 books in the past 3-4 weeks, and that's NOT like me at all. I've just had other things on my mind and reading isn't part of it.

Hoping Dewey's gets me back into the swing of things.

Leave me a message if you are doing Dewey's, so I can follow your progress!
