Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon- October 17

 I'M SO PUMPED!! IS ANYONE ELSE PUMPED?

Man oh man this is one of my two favorite weekends of the year!

There's something magnificent in curling up on a comfy chair (or a bed, if you're like me and are currently living in a college dorm) with a huge pile of snacks to your right and a huge pile of books to your left, and a few thousand fellow readers cheering each other on on the great infinite interwebs.

Oh, I can feel the energy already!

If you're new to the world of readathons, I invite you to head over to the official Dewey's FAQ page, and hopefully get any questions you may have answered. If you want a quick description, here's a blurb from the About page:

For 24 hours, we read books, post to our blogs, Twitters, Tumblrs, Goodreads and MORE about our reading, and visit other readers’ homes online. We also participate in mini-challenges throughout the day. It happens twice a year, in April and in October.

 Honestly, this is by far the funnest readathon I've ever participated in. I don't even think I got much reading done during the last readathon in April, but I did cheer on and chat with so many awesome people on Twitter and Instagram that I wound up not even caring! Seriously guys, if you have even just 30 minutes to spare on October 17, hop on board. I promise you won't regret it!

Now, as per usual, I have no official reading list. I do have a couple piles of books on my dresser that I wouldn't mind digging into, not to mention my never-ending e-book TBR. And I've recently started collecting audiobooks, so I think it's safe to say, I'll have plenty of material to choose from. If you want to stay up to date on my progress, or just say hello, definitely check out my Twitter (@readerconnected) or my Instagram (@readerconnected). I will be at a football game for most of the afternoon, so no reading will be done at that time, but I do plan on cheering you all on on Twitter!

I hope to see you all and enjoy a fantastic 24 hours of reading!

 Until next time,

Bout of Books 14

It is once again Bout of Books season, and I am beyond excited!

Real quick, for those of you who don't know what Bout of Books is, here's a lovely blurb provided by the Bout of Books team:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I have no idea what I'm going to be reading, or even how much I'm going to be able to read, since band camp is the first four days, and I'm sure I'll be exhausted, but I'll try my hardest to participate! I'll probably be sharing updates on Twitter and/or Instagram, so be sure to follow me there! 

I'm Baaaaack!

This has been a long time coming, but finally, after like a month, I'm back! And on a new blog! And man oh man am I excited!!

I've got so many plans for this blog, and I'm so excited to share them with you in the following months. It will probably be slow going though, cause I didn't really time this too well, and I'm heading back to school next week so that's gonna take a lot of my time, but I love you all so much I just can't bring myself to stay away!

So stick with me and let's see where we end up!

Until next time,
