Doing The DEWEY’S READATHON

I’ve have yet to made it through the complete 24 hours of a Dewey’s readathon and I won’t today.   But in a spirit of support for authors, writers, storytellers and their ooh so necessary readers & story listeners, I’m doing the Dewey’s Readathon.

I’ll be updating this post periodically to share more about the Dewey’s readathon and to list short stories and books as I finish them.

    1. They hold a Dewey Readathon every april and Oct. There’s prizes and challenges you can participate in. You can sign up to have reading cheerleaders to cheer you or be one yourself. Or you can just read (as I do). It’s fun.
