For those of you that don’t know, there was a wonderful woman named Dewey that was a huge staple in the book world. She ran a site called The Hidden Side of the Leaf and hosted all sorts of things for book lovers. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2008, leaving a void in the book community.
One of the things that she started was the Read-a-thon. It is a great event that urges readers to set aside a 24 hour period to read as much as they can. There are cheerleaders, prizes, and just a sense of community that is to be rivaled. Unfortunately I will be unable to participate this time around, but check it out if you get a chance and help encourage other participants.
Happy Saturday, and Happy reading!
