Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

I didn't even realize that Dewey's was on Goodreads. I read on my kindle exclusively and primarily romance/romantic suspense. I've participated in Dewey's Read-a-Thons for years so I'll be happy to have my reading results in this thread.

Welcome Ann. I will checking in to say hello--and to find out about romantic suspense. Might be good reads for readathons :)

New to Goodreads. Have participated in Dewey’s twice using Discord first time (hated the platform with a passion) and Facebook/Meta the second time around, so am interested in seeing how this app handles with my third readathon. I’m glad to be here!

I've been using Goodreads for forever because it is simple to use. I'm also a kindle reader so I love the integration with my kindle elminating the need for me to manually update my reading status. While I'm trying to move away from Amazon, leaving my kindle doesn't work for me.

Glad you have found the Dewey's spot on Goodreads then, Ann! Hope you have a good read-a-thon this April.

Hello, fellow Ann! Hope you have a fun readathon Saturday. I always love knowing I have company while obsessively reading. :)

Same here. Its not easy. I got the German equivalent of a Kobo recently. It‘s a very nice e-reader! Now I am looking at other options for Audible. Obviously they are all more expensive… *sigh*

Have fun with the readathon! See you around!

I'm ready to start reading. Dinner prepped! Snacks prepped! Alarm set...so I have time to make coffee before I sit down and read.
