Dewey';s 24 hour read-a-thon updates and mini challenges

Hey I thought I would place all my updates and mini challenges in one place. 

Hour 1
Pages read: 44
Books read: Shopaholic to the Rescue - Sophie Kinsella
Total pages and books:

Mini challenge:  Cover Escape

The book I have chosen is Too Hot to Handle by Katie Agnew. The reason I have chosen this is because I didn't manage to get away on holiday this summer and feel in desperate need of some relaxation on a beach. This looks prefect. 


Hour 2
Pages read: 35
Books read: Shopaholic to the Rescue - Sophie Kinsella
Total pages and books: 79 pages 

Sorry I have not updated for a while, I had to go and visit a family member in hospital, so hours 3-7 I did not do any reading. I am now back though for the night :)


Mini challenge: Arm Chair Travelling

The book that I would have transport me to would be The Geography of you and me by Jennifer E Smith. This is set in New York in a lift. I would not like to be stuck in a lift there but I would like to return, I have only been once and that was for about 6 hours! 




Hour 8
Pages read: 38
Books read: Shopaholic to the Rescue - Sophie Kinsella
Total pages and books: 108 pages

Mini challenge: Scavenger Hunt

Book Scavenger Hunt List


1. Something hard - Corey
2. Something fast - Red flushes
3. Something sweet - Becky Actually
4. Something high -  Flying over
5. Something funny - Becky's Ten turning into Becky's Eleven 


The book that I am STILL reading but almost finished now is Shopaholic to the Rescue. 

During hour 9 I finished Shopaholic to the Rescue. 


Hour 9
Pages read: 14
Books read: The Good Girls - Sara Shepard, Shopaholic to the Rescue - Sophie Kinsella
Total pages and books: 122 pages 1 book

I have been rather distracted this hour, hoping the next one will be better. 


Hour 10
Pages read: 14
Books read: The Good Girls - Sara Shepard, Shopaholic to the Rescue - Sophie Kinsella
Total pages and books: 134 pages 1 book

Yet again I have read very little, I think I am getting quite tired, I may go to bed, try and read a little there and then get up early to continue. 

Unfortunately I have been asleep a little longer than I expected and I also had a few things to do so I haven't managed to read anything else yet - so far this is the worst read-a-thon I have ever taken part in! 

Hour 23
I have a bit of work to do so I have switched to an audio book - I have almost finished it. It is The Year I Met You - Cecelia Ahern.

  4. So glad you could join us today! That beach looks awesome, just the perfect place for reading! You know I've never actually been to a read beach along the ocean, even though I've flown over them, so that's definitely on my list of things to do someday! I've really enjoyed the stand alone Sophie Kinsella's that I've read, so I'm looking forward to the Shopaholic series myself! I hope you're having a great day! Enjoy your reading! -- Shaunie Team Dogwood

    1. Thanks for stopping by! You should definitely give it a go. I love Sophie Kinsella, I have listened to one of her standalone's on audio book recently and they are just as good. Hope your read-a-thon is going well.

  5. You're doing great!! What about an audiobook? I've been alternating between paper and audio today as if I sit for too long I tend to fall asleep. Or maybe just some jumping jacks? LOL! Good luck--and HAVE FUN! :)
