Hour 5 – Let’s Twist!

Oct 13th 2012October 2012 & readathon

Greetings, Readathoners!  I’m Tami and I’ll be co-hosting for the next three hours.  You’ve been at this for awhile now so it’s time to get up and move – get your blood pumping.  Since I’m a little older than your average host/participant, we’re going to move to a “blast from the past”.  This song was a hit in 1961 – the year I was born.  I’ll let you do the math.

Mini-Challenges:

Turn to Page

Winners Announced:  Congratulations to this hour’s doorprize winners.  Please select a prize from the Prizes page and email your choice to deweyreadathon@gmail.com

Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcase

Betsy Sundquist

Still Ongoing:

Oldies But Goodies

Snacks Challenge

Don’t forget to add the books you read to the master list!

    Hi Tami! :)
    I LOVE this song!

    I’d get up and twist, but I think I’ve actually become part of the sofa. Guess I’ll read some more instead.

    Welcome Tami! That’s such a great song.

    Great song! I, too, was born in 1961. :)

    Back to my current book (The Devoted by Jonathan Hull)!

    That video made me smile! I did not need to do the math as that is my birth year too.:) off now to make some breakfast and get back to my book, Blackberry Winter..
