Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

Hey all you amazing readers! In this our 9th hour I'd like everyone to take a moment and feel the complete amazing that is the now. This is the last single digit hour and regardless if you've read a page or three books I want us all to acknowledge ourselves where we are and hopefully be proud of it. So please take a moment and share your happy thought.

I'll go first. This is the most normal I've felt in a long time. I mean this is such a small thing in the larger scope of the world. But it kinda feels mega because I can enjoy this exactly the way I did pre-pandemic. So thank you and thanks for indulging me. It's really great to feel normal.

I am enjoying the total immersion aspect of readathon time this weekend. I am dealing with some very stressful circumstances right now that have been emotionally overwhelming over the past couple weeks, but for 24 hours all that matters is the hours of the readathon.
And, while some aspects of kitten rescue are more stressful this year (more kittens than usual means it is a lot harder to find adopters when kittens are ready) it is still nice living with such great kittens. I really hope I find homes for the ones that are ready, soon, but they are cute and friendly, and make good reading buddies tonight.

I hope all your cats find purr-ever homes too. It must be so satisfying when a cat chooses a human. Best of luck to you may the rewards must be massive!

I went into this readathon way less prepared than usual but decided that the most important thing is having a good time with all of you. So if I feel like reading I read, if I feel like chatting on social media I will do that. Love Dewey’s readathon!

Its really great that you are taking the time to connect with so many folks. I thinks that what makes me love the bookish community. Whether it's using the hashtags or participating in photo contests or sharing photos, nosh ideas it's all organic and meaningful. Enjoy your journey your way.
