Puppies and cupcakes and sunshine yay! Do I sound uber cheerful? I hope so because a couple of days ago I signed up to be a cheer leader for the 24 hour read-a-thon. I took part last year, the last one Dewey lead before she died. I learned that I suck at concentrating when there is the virtual equivalent of a loud, peppy parade going on outside my window. I spent too much time taking part in challenges and reading other people's posts to make any headway with my own books.
So this year I'll be doning my mascot uniform (minus crazily hot animal head) and cheering on the readers throughout their quests. I'll be doing a bit of reading on the day (April 18th from noon GMT) but mostly I'll be dropping by blogs and offering encouragement to flagging readers. They sure could use more cheerleaders so drop by and sign up if you think you can commit to one hour of cheering on the day.

I'm glad you joined the challenge! I joined as both reader and cheerleader which means I'm not going to get much reading done. Oh well.

I have never tried a readathon. I don't know why?
classicvasilly give me a T!
Bluestocking you should it's lots of fun, prizes and 24 hours of dedicated reading - what could be better?
My first read-a-thon, i am already collecting very short books - so i can whip through them quickly..

Yes short books are key, maybe 150 pages but no more!
