The 24 Hour Read-a-Thon takes place on October 24th and begins at 5am Pacific time. That’s right around the corner! When I participated in April I had a blast but I made some mistakes:

1. I chose a lot of lengthy books. I need to go shorter this time. Page-turners or something with a tighter plot would be good.
2. I didn’t plan my food well. I had snacks but my brain ran out of steam right around 4pm and 3am.
3. I need a better posting template to make posting updates a bit easier.
4. I am going to carve out time every 2 hours to blog hop so that I do not feel as if I am missing out on all of the fun. Last time I hopped every hour and it was a bit distracting and broke up my reading rhythm.

I will post a proposed reading list right before the event. Are you participating this year? If you have no idea what I am talking about click here for info and click here to sign-up. The Hub will be out of town during this event so doing this with the kids will be interesting. That is the “I’m nuts!” part of my title.

By the way, I don’t know who made the button above but it sure is cute. Although I do not plan to wear my underwear while reading and cooking at the same time (that would be interesting) I find the button sort of fun.
