Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon – TBR Stack, October 2018

It’s that time of year… Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon!

This bi-yearly event is one I look forward to with zest.  It’s an excuse to take all Saturday to do my favorite thing. I’m starting late – 6 hours late – but that’s ok, because this is just a fun marathon (and I like to get my sleep).

Without further ado, the lineup:

The Code of the Woosters / Wodehouse
Tales & Sketches / Hawthorne
Lord of the Flies / Golding
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea / Verne
Three Men in a Boat / Jerome
The Boy in the Mask / Gyles

This time, my goal is to not get bored or fatigued.  So I might just ditch the list and do a Sherlock Holmes marathon.  Or, pick random books I own that I haven’t read.

    The next one is in April. 🙂 I actually didn't read very much this time – too tired out from the week!

    I have often felt that if I could just be stranded on a deserted island with my TBR pile and chocolate-covered espresso beans, I could finally catch up. I wish I had the time to read 24 hours straight. I look forward to your reviews of your read a thon books.
