Dewy's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon: I'm here! Where are you?


I have to make the family some lunch (quick sandwiches -- LOL) so, I am to start by listening to I Am Legend (S.F. Masterworks) by Richard Matheson on my iPod as I busy myself in the kitchen. Hope that counts! (Check out the fantastic vampire cover!)


After that, the family are going out, and I am going to be left to my own devices until they return later this evening. Which is nice!


I've loaded up my eBook reader, Winston, with lots of classics of which I think might be best to read later on to give myself a variation of reading formats.


Books on eBook Reader include many that are on my 1001 Books to read before you die reading list, which will help with my 1001 books Challenge. Details of that can be found in the sidebar on the right if you are stuck for something to read! LOL

On the eBook Reader:
The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
The Invisible Man - H.G. Wells
A Christmas Carol -  Charles Dickens
The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving
Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carol

The Awakening - Kate Chopin
Adieu - Honore de Balzac

The War of the Worlds - H. G. Wells

Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe

Aesop's Fables


That should keep me going well into the night. Later I will come back and let you know what I am reading when I am able to sit down and pick up a book. I have a list of print books, and also a list of other books on my computer to read. I am hoping by keeping the formats varied, I'll not get too fed up with one way or the other! :)

For those that are also playing along I can't stop by now, but I will come and visit you to see how you are getting on, shortly. 



Bye for now!

    Hi Sassy, it's not quite time here but I wasn't able to sleep so I started early - mainly checking out blogs. I picked out some different books, print and ebooks, but forgot about audio.

    I'm at bookdragonslair.com and hope to update every 4 hours or so. My actual book list is here

    Hi Blodeuedd, I reckon coffee might work better in this instance! LOL

    Thanks for popping by Book Dragon, every 4 hours is a good idea. I was wondering how to update. Update the one post, or publish lots of new ones and hope it doesn't annoy everyone subscribing, too much! :)
