A lot of you participants are really fast readers! You put the rest of us to shame. ;)

Just a reminder – you don’t have to do each and every mini-challenge. Do what works for you!

This hour we’ve got five readers of the hour! Please go give these participants some encouragement! We’ll pick one random commenter from each blog (please comment on the latest post) to win one book of their choice from the Prizes page.

Have you participated more than once? Leave a comment on this post and we’ll randomly select 4 multi-time participants. The first winner will receive a $25 gift card to any independent bookstore, and the other 3 will win 2 books of their choice from the Prizes page. We’ll leave this open for three hours and announce the winner in Hour 7.

Mini-challenge

This hour’s mini-challenge is being hosted by Bobbie at ‘Til We Read Again. Her mini-challenge is called And the nominees are…. Go check it out! You’ll list nominees in four different categories. The winner will receive a copy of Until We Reach Home by Lynn Austin.

    This is my third official Dewey Read-a-Thon. I’ve participated in a couple others as well that other people have hosted but Dewey’s is my ultimate favorite. I couldn’t imagine not being able to join in.

  2. Lauraon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:03 am 2

    This is my second time participating – it just keeps getting better! This is my little mini-vacation twice a year. Thanks to all that you hosts and cheerleaders do!

  3. Vasillyon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:04 am 3

  6. Heatheron 10 Apr 2010 at 6:05 am 6

    This is my fourth time as well. I wouldn’t miss it!

  7. Shelleyon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:05 am 7

    This is my third time and each time has been very different, but I have loved them all.

  8. Dangerously Cold Teaon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:05 am 8

    This is my third Readathon. My second one I actually lasted 24 hours; hopefully this time I’ll do the same! :3

  9. Shelly Burnson 10 Apr 2010 at 6:05 am 9

    This is my 2nd Readathon. I had lots of fun the first time, hoping for the same here! Happy reading everyone.

  13. Elsion 10 Apr 2010 at 6:07 am 13

    This is my second Read-a-Thon. I’m flattered to be selected as one of the “readers of the hour”. Just posted my Hour 2 Update summary. I’m going to pick up another Diet Coke and settle in for a long reading spell this hour.

  14. the little readeron 10 Apr 2010 at 6:07 am 14

    bummer. this is my first readathon. but, i’m having a blast!

  15. Crystal Fon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:08 am 15

  16. Kirstenon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:08 am 16

    Second readathon for me!

  17. Kristion 10 Apr 2010 at 6:10 am 17

    This is my third official challenge – My husband, though he knows how much I love reading, still thinks it is a little “strange” that we read for 24 hours. I told him it is not strange for the 375 people who are signed up. . To which he said – Well, I guess out of the Millions of people in the world – you 375 must be normal, and the rest of us who aren’t reading are strange! He did say that it was neat that a lot of people donated to charity based on how many pages or how long they read.

  18. Suzanneon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:11 am 18

    I’ve participated at least three times before. Every time I commit to reading a little longer (I have a 5-year-old).

  19. Rhinoaon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:12 am 19

    I think this is my third or possibly fourth readathon now. Looking forward to the next 22 hours :)

  20. Patti (Reading Distractions)on 10 Apr 2010 at 6:13 am 20

    I believe this is my fourth time participating. Kinda lost track!

  21. Anastasiaon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:13 am 21

    I’m headed back to France! Au revoir!

  44. Milkaon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:34 am 44

    This is my second time participating. Last time I read something like 14 hours. Unfortunately I right now have this school paper to do so I am more about cheerleading and mini challenges this time.

  45. claire (kiss a cloud)on 10 Apr 2010 at 6:35 am 45

    This is my third time participating, wouldn’t miss it for the world!

  46. Brittanieon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:38 am 46

    I have lost track of how many times I have particpated. I know I started when Dewey was still alive though.

  47. Beckyon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:38 am 47

    I haven’t missed a Read-a-thon yet!

  48. tanabataon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:39 am 48

  51. Bonnie Jacobson 10 Apr 2010 at 6:45 am 51

    I participated in the first two Read-a-Thons Dewey did, and then I did one other later one. So this is my fourth time doing this.

  52. Sheila (Bookjourney)on 10 Apr 2010 at 6:46 am 52

    This is my second readathon. I joined in last falls and had a blast! I loved the challenges and made a nice dent in some reading I had been wanting to get to. :) This itme around I did everything I could to keep my calendar clear for today!

  53. Janelon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:47 am 53

    This is my second Dewey’s Read-a-Thon. Last time I had some unexpected errands come up – so not much reading happened. So far today – I’ve done nothing but read (and post to my blog and a few others). Awesome!

  54. ErinWon 10 Apr 2010 at 6:49 am 54

    I’m a third-timer!!!

  55. Natasha @ Maw Bookson 10 Apr 2010 at 6:54 am 55

  58. Jaimeon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:06 am 58

    Second readathon for me! I first participated last October.

  59. Rowan Bordenon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:07 am 59

    Not reading very fast today. Mostly because the kittten or dog are getting into trouble. I have read 150 pages in two and a half hours. Usually I do better than that. Huh. Weird. Anyway got to go and escape back into book land. Right after I see what my sister is freaking out about.

  60. spriteon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:13 am 60

    This is my second time taking part in the readathon. The last time I participated was in Spring 2008.

  61. Sherrieon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:21 am 61

    Hi!
    This is my second year doing the Read-A-Thon. I am having so much fun. Thanks for doing this every year. Have a great day!

    This is my 3rd read-athon as well — although I woke up sick this morning and not sure how much I will be able to take part :(

  63. Gnoe (on Graasland)on 10 Apr 2010 at 7:30 am 63

  65. Amandaon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:45 am 65

    This is my second time participating.

  66. Lexion 10 Apr 2010 at 7:46 am 66

    This is my fourth (maybe my fifth…I can’t remember!) Read-a-Thon. I’ve loved it every time I’ve participated. It’s one of my favorite blogosphere events and I’m glad we have it twice a year!!!

  67. EL Fayon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:50 am 67

    This is my second time doing the Dewey Read-a-Thon and third read-a-thon overall. Good luck everyone!

  68. Lauraon 10 Apr 2010 at 7:56 am 68

    Just my second read-a-thon – and I’m having a grand old time!

  69. raychon 10 Apr 2010 at 8:01 am 69

    I’ve done all of them except the first one. Even though most of mine have been botched. Knocks wood, but this one seems fairly wrench-free…

  70. Kimmyon 10 Apr 2010 at 8:04 am 70

    I’m pretty sure this is my 5th Read-a-thon. So much fun, I love it!!

  71. Michelleon 10 Apr 2010 at 8:17 am 71

    Great job all :)

  72. Saraon 10 Apr 2010 at 8:30 am 72

  73. Jenniferon 10 Apr 2010 at 9:04 am 73

    This is my second Dewey’s read-a-thon. I had so much fun with the October one, that I looked forward to this one. Now I’m participating as a reader and a cheerleader…GO Dewey Readers!!!

  74. Jessicaon 10 Apr 2010 at 9:13 am 74

    This is my third Read-a-Thon, though first time with a dedicated book blog. :) (Before I did it on my livejournal!)

  75. Erikaon 10 Apr 2010 at 4:36 pm 75
