Two read-a-thons?! Am I crazy? Heck no, I was going to be reading anyway so let’s add another twitter party and challenges into the mix! 🙂
I’m going to be having updates for both challenges today on this post.
Challenges: Introduction (Deweys readathon)
1)Where are you reading from today? Tallahassee, florida
2)Three random facts about me… 1. I love the smell of when it is cold out and someone has a fire going. 2. I can go through seasons of tv shows in an impressive/pathetically small amount of time. 3. Sometimes I like dogs more than people
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? I am going to try and get through 3 books today
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? my goals is to read most of my blog tour books and then at least 1 non-review request book
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? This is my first time with Deweys but I have done other read-a-thons

Challenge: Book Puzzle (Deweys readathon)
I am hosting this challenge later today for the #WWreadathon, but it is so much fun that I had to participate again! 🙂

Let me know your guesses in the comments below. 🙂
Book Sentence: (Deweys)
Mid-Event survey (Dewey’s)
1. What are you reading right now? Earth by Shauna Granger
2. How many books have you read so far? 2 and I am on my 3rd
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? more reading! and seeing how late I can stay up
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? I had to put off doing some outlining for my classes, but I probably would have procrastinated that anyways.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Yes, there are always more interruptions than anticipated. I tried to get rid of them quickly (they were in the form of people) but it didn’t always work out.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? how many people are participating
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? nope, I am loving it!
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? not pick all review request books
9. Are you getting tired yet? a little bit, but not much
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Im not really sure how to spot a cheerleader, or maybe none have come to visit me yet, so Im not really sure.

Pet’s Challenge (deweys)
I have two dogs- Harry and Ron. They are the cutest little things and Harry helps my reading and ron hinders it. Harry curls right up next to me(or on top of me) while I am reading, and he is content to just lay there will me all day if he wants. Ron on the other hand has wayy too much energy and he is constantly running around trying to get my attention to play with him.
Harry is the black one and Ron is the red-head. Hmm I wonder where I got those named from 😉
Summary:
I read almost 3 books: The Temple by Heather Marie Adkins, My Blood Runs Blue by Stacey Eaton and almost all of Earth by Shauna Granger. I stayed up until 2:15 am (EST) and I hope to get back up at 7 am to catch the end of the readathon. Night all! 🙂

Have fun reading! Just chill!!
You are certainly insane doing two readathon’s, but I guess each book can count for both teams, right?
Best of luck.
Happy reading! It’s bound to be a fun day 🙂
Sometimes I like dogs better than certain people too! Hope you have an excellent day of reading.
Size 12 Is Not Fat!!! Yay, that’s one of my favourite books ever! <3 Great choice 😉

I can whip through season of tv really fast too — it’s ridiculous (and cuts into reading time). Good luck with both your readathons!
I have no freaking idea! haha must be one I have never read before.
Pabkins @ Mission to Read
Cheering my way around again to encourage your reading during the second half of the RAT! You are doing great.
Wow, crazy book puzzle that I’d have had no idea about if someone else hadn’t guessed it. Thanks for playing!
Hope you’re going strong on both your readathons!
You’re reading all day and all of the night
And tomorrow morning you’ll surely look a fright
But just look at those books, a magnificent sight,
If Dewey’s 24 Readthon is wrong, I don’t want to be right!
Harry and Ron are adorable!!!
