Opening Survey1. How many Dewey's Readathons have you participated in?
Every one since 2016, this thread has been going since 2017. Including Reverses. So a lot. lol
2a. If this is not your first Dewey's Readathon, what are your favorite things from past Dewey's readathons? Are you trying anything new or different this time?
The community but it's getting a *little* hard to keep up with now. 😂 Not trying anything new. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
2b. What are your goals, and what are you looking forward to during this Readathon?
Just to read and enjoy!
3. What are you looking forward to eating and drinking during this Readathon?
I'm enjoying a caramel macchiato very much right now. I'll be killing for a Caramello later on. Hmm caramel theme!
4. Are you sticking to our official Readathon times or adjusting for your schedule/preferences/etc.?
Adjusted! 24in48 which I started at 8:30pm Friday night since we're going to fall events today and tomorrow.
5. Where are you reading from today?
New Hampshire, USA
Half-Point Progress Report
1. How is your Readathon going? Have you finished 12 hours of reading so far?
It's good even though I've been busy. Nope, not 12 hours!
2. Have you eaten real food yet in the past 12 hours? How much water have you drunk so far in the past 12 hours? (Maybe drink some water now just on principle...)
Yes, I had a good lunch and a good dinner. My body is craving water right now so I'll will be downing some ice cold water!
3.Are you doing a Bingo board or other specific challenge during this Readathon? How is that going so far?
Yes and the Bingo board is going well!
4. Have you finished any books so far in this half of the Readathon?
Not yet!
5. Are you on track to finish what you want to this weekend? What are your plans for the next 12 hours?
My only goal was to read so yes, on track! lol. I'm not sure how long I will stay up. I usually quit around 11, sometimes I manage the sprint to midnight, sometimes I don't. I won't be setting an alarm and waking early this time.
Closing Survey
1. How did your Readathon go overall? What were the highlights for you? Disappointments? Things you might do differently next time?

Of course!
3. How many books have you read in this Readathon? How many have you finished? Which was your favorite?
I read from 3 books and finished 1.
