Which hour was most daunting for you?
My eyes were burning around 1, which is typical, but hardest hour was around 8am, so that was different. Was fine during the night, other than the burning eyes. But got really tired when I'd been awake around 20 hours.

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? Ian Dex series by John Logsdon

How did you feel about this first-ever Reverse Readathon? Should we do it again?
I enjoyed it. I thought it would be easier for me, it was and it wasn't. The night was easier, but it's an extra half day of staying up so that's long. But I think I liked it overall. Made it seem like it was going very slow.

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

Dewey's REVERSE 24hr Read-a-Thon ~ Ready to Roll!

It's time for Dewey's! This is my 10th Dewey's and I'm super excited for a REVERSE Dewey's. I have always done the full 24 hours and plan to again this time. I think that the full night done first, rather than last, will make the whole thing easier. We'll see! Looking forward to it.

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, though we are trying to eat healthier these days (booo!). Not going to worry about it for Dewey's though, so on the menu this time round: Donuts for breakfast, pizza for lunch & dinner. Snacks include: Smores Goldfish, Oreos and Oreo Ice Cream.

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! 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!! Lately, when not reading, I've been playing Fallout 4.

5) This is our VERY first Reverse Readathon! How does it feel in your time zone?
Pretty excited about it. I always go the full 24 hours, so I think it'll be easier with the night to start with. We'll see.

24 in 48 Read-a-Thon ~ Wrap-up

Well, I didn't quite make it the full 24 hours, that's cuz I took some time off on Sunday to watch baseball ~ Go Nats! Otherwise, I would have hit the 24 hours. I also DNF a book, so that was 30 minutes wasted since I didn't finish it up. Still, I got some reading in, and more importantly I read stuff I enjoyed. A win all around!

I have 3 more read-a-thons upcoming I'm doing ~ the Reverse Dewey's next weekend, the "Make Me Read It" and Bout of Books, both in August. Hope to see some of you join in.

Dewey's is having a Reverse Summer 24 Hour Read-a-Thon!!

WOOOOHOOOOO!! Sounds good to me, and easier for me to do. I'm a night owl, but I think being up first all night then staying up the day too will actually be easier. Let's find out!! Click on the graphic above to be taken to Dewey's for more info.
