Dewey's Read-a-thon: The Game Plan

Posted on 21:28 by gllapsi





There's just one more day until Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon begins. From past read-a-thons, I've found that it's important to have a plan especially with one day read-a-thons. I'm keeping the goals simple and I've selected a variety of books to choose from. Many of the books were impulse buys and a couple are books that I've wanted to reread. I do have a couple of things planned today - my

Taking Time to Reread: The DUFF by Kody Keplinger

Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi
It is a shame, but I rarely take the time to reread my books. But yesterday while I was waiting in the movie theater for Pitch Perfect to start (we arrived 45 minutes early because we didn't have anything better to do) I started rereading The Duff on my phone. Thank goodness for the nook app because unlike the girl in the ticket line behind me, I didn't bring a book with me.
