So this past weekend was my first time participating in Dewey’s Read-a-Thon. I have to be honest and let you all know that I mocked it relentlessly. C’mon REALLY??? Reading for 24 hours straight with a bunch of people you don’t know or even communicate with is pretty darn ridiculous. Ridiculously wonderful.
