Ok, so apparently, this Saturday (4/25) is Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon, the holiday child!Me would have killed for. Since I am a Grown-Up now, and am forced to deal with Grown-Up Things, I am reminded that I am also allowed to declare my own holidays. So, yes, I'm going for it, posting to tumblr in the fannish space and some combination of twitter/facebook/goodreads in the gee-you-know-my-real-name space. I'm sure I'll post a summation here, too, but I'll spare y'all the hourly updates.

It would be super-fun if any of you wanted to join me, even if it's just for part of the craziness. (I doubt I'll last an actual 24-hours, but I'm planning on audio-booking for when I have to actually do things, so we'll see how many hours I can go with a narrative in my head.) If nothing else, I can at least get through a tiny bit more of my TBR pile, which is reaching all-time highs despite my moratorium on buying things in 2015.

Thanks for reminding me that this is a thing! I am not sure I can do it, but I wanna try.

You're welcome--I am always happy to enable. :D

Now if it was last weekend, I would have participated without even knowing it! :-)

Next fall, I'll post a heads-up a little earlier and maybe your schedule will sync up!

I work all day so it's just not possible. But I'd love to see your updates, please post them here too!

Ok, I'll figure out something that is not the 'update every hour' I'm planning on tumblr/twitter. Maybe every time I finish something...?

I'm totally going to do it! Uh, but not for 24 hours. I'll get up at 5 and start, and probably I will peter out around 11PM. *g* Are you going to post here which books you're stacking for the day? If so, I'll do it too. :D

Oh, I'm super-excited to hear this! I seriously, seriously doubt I'll be doing 24 hours, but I am totally on-board with giving myself permission to just read for all day.

I just started thinking about what I might be in the mood to read, so I'll pull together some kind of a list (or possibly a screencap of my books-i-own-but-haven't-read goodreads shelf, *g*.)

eta: I definitely want to see what you're thinking about, too!

eeee, I'm excited! I've been whining about how I can't sit still and read, and giving myself permission to take a whole day to do it is...really lovely. Yay you for posting about it!
