Sign-up for the October 9, 2010 Read-a-thon!

Aug 28th 2010October 2010

Can you believe it’s time for another read-a-thon?! I’m so excited! The read-a-thon means homemade cinnamon rolls and general junk food goodness. Mmm…

Anyway, the second read-a-thon this year is set for Saturday, October 9th. We’re already gearing up, so this read-a-thon is going to rock.

The  Read-a-thon will start: October 9th  at 5am Pacific (1pm GMT). You can click over to the start times page to check the starting time in your timezone. Remember that if it’s more convenient to you, you could  start either earlier or later, as well as participate for only part of the 24 hours. Very few people make it through the entire 24-hour period without sleeping, so don’t let that discourage you! Sleep is definitely allowed.

For more information on the Read-a-thon, you can read our FAQ. If you have a question that isn’t answered there, you can leave us a comment or e-mail DeweyReadathon at gmail. We’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible!

Sign ups for being a cheerleader will be posted soon, as well as sign ups for hosting a mini-challenge. If you’re new to the read-a-thon and are wondering what these mini-challenge things are, please check our FAQ!

Also, if you’d like to donate a prize, please e-mail us at DeweyReadathon at gmail. It’d be very much appreciated! Here’s a list of the prizes donated for the April 2010 Read-a-thon in case you’re wondering what to donate. Anyone can donate prizes!

Another thing you can do: Grab a button from the FAQ page, display it proudly, and help us spread the word.

Go ahead and sign up!

  14. Sheila (Bookjourney)on 29 Aug 2010 at 7:40 am 14

    OOH I am so ready for this! Fall reading! Last time I spent so much time just watching the participants that I didn’t read a lot but this time… I am reading :D

  15. Beckyon 29 Aug 2010 at 8:12 am 15

    Yay! I’m excited to participate in this one. That will actually be the day after my birthday, so it will be nice to cozy down to some great books after a crazy birthday the night before. :) Maybe I’ll get a new book or two to add to my pile??? I’ll keep my fingers crossed on that one!

  16. Clareon 29 Aug 2010 at 8:36 am 16

    I’ll have to join up at a weird time this year because of the job change… :(

  22. Deniseon 29 Aug 2010 at 1:59 pm 22

    Darn. I was looking forward to this but can’t do it because I’ll be at the BlogHer Food Conference.

    Y’all have fun – and good luck!

  23. Sylviaon 29 Aug 2010 at 6:28 pm 23

    I’m very excited about the read-a-thon! Missed the last one because of drill but this time, I free!! Hope everyone will join us periodically on the Avid Readers Unite fan page on facebook for book chats. See ya there!

  24. Shaunesayon 29 Aug 2010 at 7:03 pm 24

    I’m very excited, also posted the sign up link over on the Bookobsessed Forum I’m a member of to bring some others on over! Now to start lining up the books to choose from! Thanks for having the read-a-thon, it’s a lot of fun!

  25. fantaghiro23on 29 Aug 2010 at 7:25 pm 25

    Missed the last two readathons, I think, but I’m excited to get back in the saddle again with this one.:) Thanks!

  26. Mandyon 29 Aug 2010 at 7:40 pm 26

    This will be my first read-a-thon – can’t wait! I’m going to use it to celebrate getting through the first quarter of this new school year.

    Hey anyone wanna do a book read-through together over skype or aim or twitter? Or a partial read-through maybe?

  32. Elsion 30 Aug 2010 at 6:28 pm 32

    This will be my third Read-a-Thon. It was so much fun the last two times and I’m really looking forward to the entire 24 hours again.

  33. Alejandraon 30 Aug 2010 at 8:17 pm 33

  35. Mariaon 31 Aug 2010 at 4:29 am 35

    Very excited, it’ll be my first one!

  39. Nancy Tayloron 31 Aug 2010 at 9:42 pm 39

    Looking for a nanny, chauffeur, maid, chef, school counselor, and laundress to fill in while I read.

    Takers?

  40. Morphidaeon 01 Sep 2010 at 2:48 am 40

    This will be my fourth Read-a-Thon.

  41. Chantele Sedgwickon 01 Sep 2010 at 10:07 am 41

    Hopefully I’ll do a little bit better than last year! ;)

  42. Marleneon 02 Sep 2010 at 5:53 am 42

    Hi there. I am totally new at this but read about this on http://www.bookobsessed.com and it sounds like so much fun!

    I do have a blog which I never use because i could not really figure out how it worked or okay I was just too lazy to figure it out.

    http://marlene-marlenesblog.blogspot.com/

    Love to play. Not sure if I can make 24 hours but i will do what I can. it will start for me at 2pm whcih is a great time. :)

  43. Jenon 02 Sep 2010 at 6:33 pm 43

    This will be my first read-a-thon! I’m really excited! I’m going to start making a specific TBR pile just for the read-a-thon!

  44. noumena12on 03 Sep 2010 at 10:21 am 44

    I’ve signed up again!! I’m also looking for pledges/sponsors to make donations to our local literacy program Project READ. I definitely learned that I need to be more organized. Reading, posting, reading other bloggers, and keeping up with the contests was consuming. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations.

    Sign up to sponsor me at noumena12books.blogspot.com!!!

  45. dancing-dogon 03 Sep 2010 at 9:00 pm 45

    I’m going to give it a try! I am a little doubtful that I can make it all 24 hours but it will be fun trying I’m sure.

  46. bybeeon 03 Sep 2010 at 9:47 pm 46

    I didn’t realize the time was getting so close for the next Readathon. October = cooler weather = readathons…it’s all good!!!

  47. lisa (the little reader)on 04 Sep 2010 at 5:49 pm 47

    yay! this will be my second readathon. had SOOO much fun last time and felt so productive.

    i’m so excited! can’t wait to see you guys there!

  48. kathryn Magendieon 05 Sep 2010 at 3:49 am 48

    Just stumbled here from twitter and now need to read and see what this is all about! :-) But anything that involves reading and books is a wonderful thing!

  49. Kittie Howardon 05 Sep 2010 at 5:11 am 49

    Yesssss!

  50. Nanon 05 Sep 2010 at 10:10 am 50

    I’m looking forward to it!

  51. Hillaryon 05 Sep 2010 at 1:04 pm 51

    My second read-a-thon!! Cant wait!!

  52. heatherbee.on 06 Sep 2010 at 4:51 am 52

    This will be my first time doing the read-a-thon, and I’m so excited for it!

  53. Tea and Tomeson 06 Sep 2010 at 6:16 am 53

    I probably won’t be able to manage a full 24 hours, but I’ll do as much as I can, and hopefully have an awesome time while doing it!

  54. Michelle @ The True Book Addicton 06 Sep 2010 at 12:13 pm 54

    I made you another read-a-thon button. I thought it would appeal to some of the historical blogs out there. Hope you like it! Here’s the link to it on photobucket:

    And I should mention, my stepkiddos, Rocketboy and Rocketgirl, will be joining me for the RAT this year. I’ve signed her blog up but not his just yet.

  57. Karenlibrarianon 06 Sep 2010 at 8:08 pm 57

    I’ve been looking forward to it — I wasn’t able to participate in the last two so I’m very excited about this. I won’t be able to do the entire day but I am definitely in. At least one of my children will be joining me as well, hopefully both.

  58. Becky @ BookworkBecksBodaciousBlogon 07 Sep 2010 at 7:59 am 58

    I am SO in! Found through a post on Readerbuzz, so I just HAVE to do this!

    Fun times!

    I’ve been waiting for this since the one in Spring ended… even requested the day off work a couple months ago. My first 24 hour read-a-thon, and anyone who interrupts me is going to be sorry.

  64. JannyAnon 10 Sep 2010 at 4:42 am 64

    This will be my first time. A real read-a-thon. Sounds like quite a challenge. Start buying some matches to keep my eyes open :-)

  65. Lauraon 10 Sep 2010 at 4:23 pm 65

    So excited for this ‘thon! It’s my third time, and I hopefully have things in a bit more of a routine this go round. Come on October 9th!

  66. Mary Elizabethon 11 Sep 2010 at 10:56 am 66

    Yea!! So excited for my first read-a-thon!!! Can’t wait!!

    Looking forward to this! Already posted it on my Fan Page and will be blogging about it this week. Read on!

  68. ellaon 12 Sep 2010 at 6:21 am 68

    would like to join coz last april would be my first but there was an unexpected out of town trip wasn’t able to participate ;( so now I would do so.

  69. Wendyon 12 Sep 2010 at 4:35 pm 69

    YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!
    This will be my third!

    Wait a min …. cinnamon buns? You’re supplying cinnamon buns? Alright!!!

  70. RachelCabbiton 13 Sep 2010 at 11:20 am 70

    This will be my 2nd readathon. This time I am back home in England instead of in Japan so my book selection is a LOT larger :D I also have soo much compulsary reading for my English Lit modules, a readathon is just what I need to try and get through that pile. Alas, it is mainly Dickens so I cannot see me getting through many books :( But yay for trying!

  71. Melissa W.on 15 Sep 2010 at 12:16 am 71

    Can you guys do on in early November? I can’t attend the one in October due to the fact that I have Thanksgiving obligations.

  72. Melissa W.on 15 Sep 2010 at 12:37 am 72

    I’ll see how much I can do. It also depends if I can get internet service (it has tendency to go down for a period of time or its not working) fully cooperating. I can’t promise much, though, as I will be required to have regular meals and there won’t be a lot of coffee provided when I need it. I suppose Coke will work just as well, as I had one at around 8:30/9 pm Pacific and its now about 1:37 am and I am fully awake. I guess I can get the Starbucks VIA before I leave and use that as my caffeine source at around 3 am.

  73. Amyon 15 Sep 2010 at 6:13 pm 73

    My first read-a-thon – I’m just looking for an excuse to read as much as I secretly want to every day. I’m going to try and get some kind of charity sponsorship hookup so it doesn’t seem so self-indulgent.

    Looking forward to it!

  74. Museon 15 Sep 2010 at 10:52 pm 74

    Looking forward to this October read-a-thon.

  75. IntrovertedJenon 16 Sep 2010 at 6:22 pm 75

    I’m going to try! I’ll be flying home from vacation, so I’ll definitely be reading all day, but I won’t be able to update until the very end.

  76. Jenn-ay (Jennifer)on 16 Sep 2010 at 6:32 pm 76

    Wow! I cannot believe it will almost be a year since my 1st read-a-thon. I’m super stoked, but at the same time worried. It’s been quite some time since I have been able to stay up past 11. Oh no…but I’ll try no doubt!

    HAPPY readings!!!

  77. Julieon 16 Sep 2010 at 7:42 pm 77

    I found out about the last read-a-thon after it was already half over so I’m very excited to know ahead of time about this upcoming one!

  78. maggieon 17 Sep 2010 at 9:26 am 78

    Can’t wait for the event!! :)

  79. Kate- Midnight Book Girlon 17 Sep 2010 at 2:00 pm 79

    I can’t wait! I’ve neglected my book blog for many moons now, but Dewey and her readathon is what made me start blogging about books in the first place and it’s a reminder that I blog because I love books and love talking about them! Already planning my pile o’ books, can’t wait to see what the rest of you come up with. :) And I accidentally put an old link to my website, but the one in this comment is the correct one.

  80. Jenon 18 Sep 2010 at 10:09 am 80

    This is going to be the best way to end my reading/blogging hiatus. :) I think I’m going to try both reading and cheerleading this time around.

  88. Liz Kon 20 Sep 2010 at 4:25 pm 88

    OK, I’m going to try this again. I already know there is 1 hour I cannot do it, but the other 23 are pretty free.

  89. Kate {The Parchment Girl}on 20 Sep 2010 at 4:45 pm 89

    I’m so excited to be apart of this this year! I’m participating and cheerleading for 3 hours. Woohoo!

  90. Nolatarion 21 Sep 2010 at 3:37 am 90

    One more reason to love the Internets… just learned about the Read-a-Thon via a link within a blog I just found via a different link in another blog. And she told two friends, and they told two friends…. Very cool project and something I seriously needed to kick-start my reading again. Thanks so much for continuing it!

    Awesome news – my 15 year-old son has decided to read along with me, so we’ll have two of us at my blog!

  94. Aqueditaon 22 Sep 2010 at 7:46 am 94

    My first read-a-thon! Yeah for me!
    Already combining the “to read” list and pile ;)

  95. Aqueditaon 22 Sep 2010 at 11:19 am 95

    I can’t wait already :)
    I’m reading a mix of classics and novels turns to movies. I’ve got everything ready!

  96. Nickyon 22 Sep 2010 at 11:20 am 96

    This is going to be awesome. Too bad the new Rick Riordan doesn’t come out until like a week and a half later.

  97. slonnyon 22 Sep 2010 at 11:49 am 97

    This my first read-a-thon ever and I am thirteen. If you can tell me good few books to read. I am number 233. tell me on my blog.
    thanks

  98. Tami & Daveon 22 Sep 2010 at 2:07 pm 98

    Hope schedules allow us to participate. The last one was great fun.

  99. Martinaon 23 Sep 2010 at 7:12 pm 99

    So excited to do the Readathon again!!

  100. Risaon 23 Sep 2010 at 11:54 pm 100

    This would be my first 24hr read-a-thon! Am looking forward to it although I doubt I’ll be able to read much. However, I think, it will be a lovely experience!:D

    Risa

  101. Lilyon 24 Sep 2010 at 8:23 am 101

    This will be my second read-a-thon, and I am SO excited.

    The last read-a-thon ended up having a pretty huge impact on my life, actually. All through my childhood I was a voracious reader, but during college I was so busy that I fell out of the habit, and my booklessness continued even after graduation. Participating in the read-a-thon reintroduced me to the joys of reading…I’ve been devouring books again ever since! : D

  102. Penneloreon 24 Sep 2010 at 11:39 pm 102

    This will be my first time participating in the Read-a-Thon. I’m really looking forward to it!

  103. The Brain Lairon 25 Sep 2010 at 3:57 pm 103

    Holy freaking Moly! That’s a lot of people! Should be awesome!

  104. M (notarevolution)on 26 Sep 2010 at 3:15 pm 104

    Just signed up! This is my first read-a-thon and I’m so excited to be able to finally participate!

    I don’t have a blog, I signed up using my Twitter page. I hope that’s okay. I used to have a book blog, but gave it up when I decided I wasn’t able to find the joy in reading when I felt obligated to review every book, read certain kinds of books, etc. I hope to start up blogging once I feel more comfortable with it. Now I blather on about books over at my Twitter page (@notarevolution).

  105. Amanda R.on 26 Sep 2010 at 6:49 pm 105

    I’m ready to go!

  106. Mysteeon 27 Sep 2010 at 6:57 pm 106

  108. Lynneon 28 Sep 2010 at 8:54 am 108

    This is my first readathon and I’ve submitted the form to host a mini-challenge! Should I not have done that since I haven’t participated before? Oh well, either way I’ll be here…reading or challenging :) Can’t wait. My husband will be out of town so I’m completely available. Yay!

    Wooo! I’m so excited! First time Blogging and First time participating in the Read-A- Thon! Good Luck everybody! I’m only 13 too! It will be so much fun!

  111. VeganMedusaon 28 Sep 2010 at 11:21 pm 111

    I’ve started a readathon blog! I have my parents and hubby organized to look after the child, so I can go hardcore on my first readathon. :D

  112. Christinaon 29 Sep 2010 at 12:26 am 112

    I’ve never done a readathon before, but I have such a bad tendency to start to read books and then lose interest after a chapter or two, this will be a great way to make myself read a whole one (and probably more than one!) in one sitting. I’m really excited!

    I was seven years old when I last participated in a Read-a-Thon; I hope the intervening years come in handy for strategy, cuz I’m pretty sure I had gobs-of-energy on my side back then. Fortunately I’ll have Mr. BIP to cheer me (and, okay, lots of other people too) on and on and on…
