Many thanks!
Oct 23rd 2009wordlilyOctober 2009 & readathon
This read-a-thon thing takes a many, many hours, mostly behind the scenes, to pull off. I think I’m safe saying that all of us as co-hosts are amazed that Dewey once did this all by herself. We comfort ourselves with the fact that it has grown (by leaps and bounds) since then. At any rate, none of us could do it alone.
So, I’d like to take a moment and recognize those who have volunteered and worked alongside us to make this October 2009 read-a-thon a reality.
- Beth Fish has helped us solicit and organize prize donations. She’s done a great job!
- Trish of Trish’s Reading Nook will help us contact winners and get them matched with the appropriate donors. I’m very much looking forward to the help!
- Jodie of Book Gazing, along with
- Darren of Bart’s Bookshelf, have been helping with publicity. Thank you so much!
Before I’m finished here, I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to our fourth, new, co-host this year. Eva has been a great addition to the read-a-thon team Trish, Nymeth and I have forged. We’re glad you’ve joined us, Eva!
Thank you, all of you, for all your help.
Now, back to the read-a-thon preparations! 
Less than 24 hours until the official start!

Shellie Powellon 23 Oct 2009 at 11:21 am 12Do I have everything I need done to be part of the read-a-thon tomorrrow. I/m not sure if I have the link from my blog page up right. Kind of new to blogging.
What do I need to do to put your link on my page. Also are we supposed to be checking here tomorrow for the prize drawings. Or just posting on our blog by the hour about our progress.
alisonwonderlandon 23 Oct 2009 at 12:12 pm 13Thanks for everyone who makes this possible! I’m so excited for tomorrow!
Shanraon 23 Oct 2009 at 12:40 pm 14Heeeeeey… I’m missing a couple of thanks here… To you and Nymeth and Trish! Seriously, you three deserve to give yourself a pat on the back – the amount of work you’ve done is amazing. ^-^
Nymethon 23 Oct 2009 at 12:48 pm 15Shellie: I’ll check your link in a second and fix it if necessary
And yes, tomorrow you check here for updates about mini-challenges, giveaways, etc. You also update your blog with your progress, but neither need to be done every hour! Just whenever you feel like taking a break from reading. Each participants decides how often they want to update and how many mini-challenges they want to do.
