hedwig_dordt It's almost tradition for me: Dewey's Readathon - and the accompanying scheduling issues.
A Readathon? What's that?
The rules: read as much as you can in 24 hours. Can be audiobooks, graphic novels, fan fic, regular novels in both ebook or regular format. Check in on a social medium of your choice: there is a group on Fb, GR, and a lively convo on Twitter to squee. That's it.
Scheduling Issues
Every year I try to keep my calender clear for that day, and ususally it's a struggle. This year, the People's Climate March in on Saturday afternoon. And every year, I try to come up with solutions.
Tentative Plan
I will of course join the Climate March in Amsterdam. I will bring an audiobook to listen to on the train back home. I will likely try to read the rest of the night at home. I put out a call on Fb to see if anyone is interested in joining me to Read in Public Sunday from noon onwards.
Tentative Reading List
Anyone else participating?

Tentative Reading List
- I have my eye on Het Derde Huwelijk (The Third Marriage) by Tom Lanoye as the audiobook.
- DH got me De Tas van de Leraar (I think it's translated as The Briefcase?) by Hiromi Kawakami, which I really look forward to reading.
- I just started The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami. I might have finished that by April 29th though.
Anyone else participating?
