Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

I'm eager to finish "Emma" so I can start watching the YouTube series Emma Approved. I loved loved loved the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and am now in the oh-so-pleasant thrall of The Autobiography of Jane Eyre and Anne of Green Gables Fables.

I know this is a weird idea, but it occurred to me that although much harder to realize, it might be kind of cool to take modern books and make 'historical' adaptations of them. Wacky notion, right? Think about it though. So many stories have been modernized. Why not do that in reverse just for the heck of it?

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Chips!

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

My Goodreads "Want to Read" list is possibly more extensive (and expensive) than some of my Pinterest boards. If you are active on Pinterest, I don't need to explain more. If you're not, Heaven bless you. Stay outside enjoying the fresh air and face-to-face interaction humans were intended to have. Ahem. Kidding. Come on in, it's great.

ANYWAY...Thank God for the option of getting books online because it is very difficult to get books in English here.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?

This is my first time to properly participate. I signed up last year but unfortunately did not get to dedicate myself to 'readathoning' as much as I would have liked. I love any excuse for burying myself in a book and getting to ignore the world. 

I'm going to give a try to reading LOTR in French too. As a bookworm extraordinaire who is struggling to learn her *cough cough* "mother tongue" I've found that picking a book I know extremely well and reading it in the language I'm trying to learn is a FUN challenge and does an excellent job of keeping my interest.

By the way, I HIGHLY recommend Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series for staying awake. You don't doze off when you're laughing so hard!

It's so so great to be a part of Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon with all of you!

Bunches of hugs!
