Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

2022 Dewey’s Inter-Readathon Summer Reading Challenge

Keep track of your progress on your blog/social media sites, or wherever you like to track your readathons. Post images and discussions related to this challenge on Facebook, Goodreads, Instagram, etc. Yes, you can change stuff to fit your needs, no there are no prizes or rules, and yes this is just for fun. This is a new feature in the Dewey’s universe, and if it proves entertaining enough we will most likely do it again for the winter inter-readathon gap.

- Go to your local library, bookstore, freecycle book source, thriftstore that sells books, etc. Pick a book at random and check it out/buy it/adopt it. Read it.
- Get book recommendations from someone on social media. Pick 3 of those recommended books, get them, and read them.
- Choose a book with at least 300 pages, and a notebook/reading journal. Read the book, stopping every 20-30pgs to journal about your reading(pictures, quotes, reactions, etc.).
- Read a book published between 2020 and 2022.
- Read a book originally published before 1950.
- Browse the current world news. Choose a country/region/issue from the news that interests you. Find a book related to your chosen topic/location, and read it.
- Read a book set during a world war.
- Write and post a review for a book you enjoyed this year. (This can be on Goodreads, Amazon, your blog, etc. We have a folder in our Goodreads group where you can post these, too.)
- Make a 6-book rainbow (stack up books with a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple spine). Take a photo and share on social media. Then read those books.
- Read a book that was selected for a book club or group.
- Complete the 2022 Spring Readathon pre-readathon challenges (located in our Goodreads group).

These are great and sound like a lot of fun! Thanks! I read them aloud to my teenager and she asked, "Can I do it with you?" I love that she loves to read and doing this together will be extra great.

Wow. This sounds fun and keeps us going in between. Love it

Hi! New to the community here.
Do we need to complete all the points above or can choose some? Thanks.
Looks great though )))

💕 Thanks for the great summer reading ideas l

Is there a hashtag we should use for these on Instagram or other social media?

I am currently doing challenge number three and have an update and quote to share. I am reading Bloomsbury Girls by Natalie Jenner. It is really good so far - 30 pages in. :)

#DeweysInterReadathon might work. I always forget to use them, but it might catch on. :)
