![]() Here are some of the books I’m considering picking up during the readathon: It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve done a Dewey’s readathon I have no idea what to expect in terms of how much reading I’ll get done, but I’m definitely looking forward to the mental health break. ![]() ![]() I’ve never read for the full 24 hours (not even close!) but I do tend to find a lot of fun and stress relief in challenging myself to read as much as I can during one specific day. Dewey’s is a fun, social, low-pressure readathon where the premise is to read as much as possible during a 24-hour period, which begins at 8am Saturday morning my time. I particularly like the October readathon, because it combines my love of fall/spooky season books with readathon-ing. It’s time for another round of Dewey’s 24-hour readathon, one of my favorite bookish events of the year. ![]()

When they go back home, events begin to escalate as it dawns on everyone that Triss is not really Triss at all.I thought this was a very intriguing take on the changeling story, with an unexpectedly sympathetic protagonist at its core. As Triss regains her strength, she starts to behave in a way that bewilders those around her, and that's even before she discovers that her doll can now talk to her. Triss wakes up one morning after an accident while on holiday, but without a memory of what happened all her other memories, such as those of her parents and younger sister, or even of her life before the accident, appear strangely vague and incomplete. ![]() |
