Dewey's Reverse Readathon: July 2026

I have been in a horrible reading slump ever since I was sick a couple months ago, and I still haven't been able to shake it 😖 One thing I feel like tends to help is a readathon, so this came around at the perfect time. I hope 😅 I could make the slump worse, but we're not going to talk about that. Lol.

Relax & Read-athon: April 2026

It's time for another Relax & Readthon! Yay! And I actually really need it this month because I have not read a single book on my TBR this month 😬 I mean, I've been reading, just nothing on my TBR 😅😂 So I'm hoping this readathon will help me catch up because the month is almost over. Lol. This readathon was created and hosted by the Reading Nymph (Here is the announcement video.)

Relax & Read-athon: February 2026

I have really been looking forward to doing another Relax & Readathon! I missed the one in December because I was on vacation, but I currently have a 3-day weekend, so I thought it would be perfect to start off the new month with this! This readathon was created and hosted by the Reading Nymph (love her! Here is the announcement video.)

Last time I did this readathon, I felt like I stressed myself out trying to read as much as I possibly could. Which is the exact OPPOSITE of what this readathon is about 🤦‍♀️😂 I'm gonna try and actually take it easy in this one. My goal is to finish the book I'm currently reading, and maybe start another? I'm not sure. I'm really looking forward to the non-reading prompts with the snacks, the coziness, and doing other hobbies though! But I'm still going to be reading, of course. Lol.

Relax & Read-athon: Spooky Edition

I have nothing going on this Halloween weekend, and then I saw Jane's readathon post on All She Wrote, and I thought that would be a fun thing to do! The funny thing is that she was inspired to do a readathon after she saw me do a readathon a couple weeks ago... and now here I am! 😂 It's a never-ending cycle of readathons, and I'm okay with that 🤣

I know I've mentioned it before, but I love a readathon! Especially right now, when I'm struggling to read, because they really hold me accountable and force me to read. Which would usually be a bad thing, but I'm already in a reading slump, so how much worse can it get 😭

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: October 2025

It's time for another readathon! I keep doing these readathons in hopes of getting me out of this never-ending reading slump, but so far, no luck 😩 Anyway, this readathon starts tomorrow at 5am (for me), and ends on Sunday at 5 am. Idk if I'll wake up early for the readathon. I might, but I'm not sure yet. But I'll tell you now that I am not going to be staying up through the night for it. Lol. (You can find more info on the readathon HERE and on their IG HERE.)

Dewey's Reverse Readathon: July 2025

I don't think I did a readathon AT ALL in 2024. It was honestly probably because I had a pretty good reading year overall. Lol. I tend to do readathons more when I'm struggling, as I have been this year 😆 Unfortunately, every time one of these comes around, without fail, I have something going on 😂 It's crazy! There was one in April that I wanted to do, but I wasn't able to because I was in California on vacation. Well, this readathon starts today and ends tomorrow, and I have a cousin coming into town tomorrow 😂 I'm gonna see if we can do something on Sunday instead. Lol.

Dewey's Reverse Readathon: July 2023

I am so excited for another readathon! And I am especially excited for this one because instead of starting in the morning, it starts in the evening! You can go HERE for more info on the readathon!

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: April 2023

I have been craving doing a readathon lately, so I am so glad that this one came around! You can go HERE for more info on the readathon!

So for me, where I live, this will have started at 5am PST today, and it's ending tomorrow at 5am PST. It's days before the readathon as I write this, so just like last time, I still haven't decided whether I want to wake up at 5am or not. I like sleep too much 🤣

I'll be doing updates on Twitter and maybe on IG stories, for anyone who cares. Lol. And I may also update this post tomorrow, or maybe I'll do a little update in tomorrow's Sunday Post to wrap up how things went.

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: October 2022

I love a good readathon, but I always forget/miss when they happen. BUT I was aware of this one for a while now and I've been preparing! Lol. However, I just found out that there's a party today that I will probably be going to... sigh. I mean, could NOT go, but honestly, this wouldn't be the first time I read at a party 😂 And it wont be the last 🤣 And honestly, I don't plan on reading for all 24 hours... I love sleep too much 😆 But I am going to read as much as I possibly can in those 24 hours. I don't really have a goal in hours, but I do have a sort-of goal in what books I want to read/finish reading for the readathon.

For me, where I live, this will be starting at 5am PST. It's Friday evening as I write this, and I still haven't decided whether I want to wake up at 5am or not... Like I said, I love sleep 🤣 But I've become an early bird in the last couple of years, so I'm usually up by 7 or 8am anyway. I'll be doing updates on both Twitter and my IG stories, for anyone who cares. Lol. And I'll also update this post tomorrow or maybe I'll do a little update in tomorrow's Sunday Post. (And you can go HERE for more info on this readathon).

Below are some books that are on my TBR for the readathon. I'm obviously not gonna read all of these books, especially not in 24 hours. Lol. But I like to have a plan when going into a readathon, and my mood reader self likes to have options. Lol.

Dewey's Pre-Readathon Challenge: Dewey's Board Game

The next Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon will take place on April 24th, and they just posted a pre-readathon challenge that looks like a lot of fun! I've done the readathon once before and it actually wasn't a complete fail, so I'm planning on participating again. I do bookish bingo ALL the time, but I've never done a bookish board game before and I'm honestly surprised because it looks awesome! I am so excited to try it! This challenge runs from now up until the readathon starts on April 24th. (I saw all this on Twitter, so you can check out the info there!)

24in48 Readathon

Three hours until this readathon starts and I decided just NOW that I want to participate 😅 But to be fair, I only just saw Steph's (from Cover2CoverBlog) post on this. Lol. I've never done this particular readathon before, so I'm very excited! Basically, the goal is to read 24 hours in 48 hours, and they can be split up however you wish. And this year they're doing a group readathon, which is pretty cool. You can learn out more about the 24in48 Readathon here! This is gonna run from 12:01 AM ET on Saturday, February 6th through 11:59PM ET on Sunday, February 7th. (So 9pm tonight through 9 pm Sunday for me, basically.)

Reading Decathlon Challenge: Wrap Up

So, I did the challenge and now it's done. How did I do, you ask? Well...

Reading Decathlon Challenge: In Which I Try to Read 10 Books in 10 Days... Yikes!

So this challenge is pretty self-explanatory. Read 10 books in 10 days! You can read more about it on Epic Reads here!

Spring Break Read-A-Thon!

Guys, guess what? As of 9:30 AM today I am officially on...

*Happy dance* Oh my gods, I survived quarter 2 out of 7 of nursing school (and got A's on both of my finals! Woot woot!)...so proud of myself *grins* So now that I don't have to worry about school for one and a half weeks, it's time for me to catch up on my reading and reviewing! I've got quite a few books to read and reviews to write, so this will be the time for that. Below I have listed my to-read books and I'll be updating the list as I go. I will also try to update my reading status on Goodreads and/or Twitter plus I am also thinking of writing up a blog post at the end of each day to document my progress. My read-a-thon will go from today (March 19th) to March 31st (gotta go back to school on the 1st, unfortunately =/)

Last Reads of 2012 Readathon: Books That Kept You Up All Night Challenge and Goal!

Today it's my turn to host for the Last Reads of 2012 Readathon (find out what I'm talking about HERE! You can still sign up! If I mention anything that you don't understand, it will be cleared up in the Readathon post) and I am posting about something called "Sleep? What’s That For?" If you would also like to post your own version of this "challenge," feel free to do so! Just make sure to include a little description of the challenge. Or just leave me comment on this post!

This Readathon is a Readathon built specifically to let you catch up on your last books of 2012! Want to read some of those review books you got ages ago but have been meaning to get to? What about that book that you bought but has been collecting dust on your shelf ever since? This is the place to get caught up on that! Just go HERE and find out what you can do and sign up!

My challenge, "Sleep? What’s That For?" is pretty self-explanatory. They're the Books That Kept You Up All Night! You know, those night you do this when the rest of the world is sleeping:

Then you start getting really tired and sleepy and you want to do this:

But the book is SO good/intriguing that you just HAVE to find out what happens next, so you do this:

And the next day you feel like:

this:  and/or this: 

Yeah, we've all been there. So what books have kept me up all night? Let's take a look! Now, it was hard to just choose a handful since I'm a night owl and, naturally, I stay up and read at night. So I'm going to cheat by listing some series instead of singular books.. (click on the images to take you to the book's Goodreads page for more info)

Oh the Blood Coven Vamps...this series was great! It was so much fun to read, funny, entertaining...really hard to put down!

See my review of: Stake That | Girls That Growl | Bad Blood | Night School | Blood Ties | Soul Bound | Blood Forever (coming soon)

Mythos Academy is AMAZING! Such a great story line, and characters (LOGAN!) and a beautiful mixture of Norse and Greek mythology! I LOVE mythology! So yeah, this series is pretty unputdownable...pffft, it's not like I need sleep ;)

See my review of: Kiss of Frost | Dark Frost | Crimson Frost (coming soon)

Ah, the Soul Screamers...there's something about Rachel's writing that just pulls me in and wont let go. She writes with so much emotion and takes me on an epic emotional roller coaster that I find myself awake at all hours of the night reading!

See my review of: If I Die | Never To Sleep | Before I Wake (still reading it ;))

This one was a very cool retelling. The ending especially kept me hooked...I really wanted to know how things would turn out. I was so close to the end, and it was already late, so I said, "Eh, I'm already up, might as well finish it and satisfy my curiosity." ;)

See my review of Jekel Loves Hyde

This one's another retelling...a retelling of Alice in Wonderland. I was up all night reading this book because my brother was sick (dad was sleeping, mom was at work, so it was up to me, the 1st year nursing student/big sis to take care of the 8-year-old twin). And okay, that wasn't the only reason...the book was just very captivating with its vivid scenes and interesting characters! Definitely worth a few hours of my sleep!

(just finished this book, so review will be coming soon)

Those are just a few more memorable ones. And dont forget to let me know which books have kept you up at night!

And now onto my goal for the Readathon! Originally, the list below (plus 5 others I'm done with already) is what I wanted to get done... but 10 days to read 10 books?? Ha! I'm a fast reader, but not that fast! These are all review books (with the exception of Before I Wake*, which I am borrowing from the library), so now I'm hoping to get at least 1/2-1/4 of these read before the year ends. In other words, I want to make a good dent in this pile.

1. Before I wake (Soul Screamers #6) by Rachel Vincent *
2. Renegade (The Elysium Chronicles #1) by J.A. Souders
3. Broken by A.E. Rought
4. The New Death and Others by James Hutchings
5. Narrative Loserdom: From Journal One by Ryan Collins
6. Tidal Whispers by various authors
7. The Other Slipper by Kenechi Udogu
8. Any Love But Mine by Debbie Davies
9. The Mine by John A. Heldt
10. Phoenix Angel (Shardwell Series #1) by A. Gerry and C. Hall

But we'll see what happens ;) And I'm keeping track of my books on this page, so you can drop by, if you'd like, to see ho I'm doing.

What are your goals for the challenge?? Made a post? leave me a link and I'll drop by!
