Hourly updates for Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon {April 2015}

I am participating in Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon this year (this is the first of two) and this year I have decided to post hourly updates on this blog post and use my twitter account just like last year for updates in between. Here are a few things you might want to know.

• There will be hourly updates on here and I will post updates on twitter as well. (This will be my update post for the entire read-a-thon).
• I probably won't be up for 24 hours - I will try though. But my plan is to stay awake for as long as I can. 
• Based on my location I start reading at 5am, to figure out other start times go to this link: http://24hourreadathon.com/start-times/ 
• Even though this post goes up at the start of the read-a-thon I won't update until after the hour in which I personally start the read-a-thon.
• There is a slight possibility that I will be working on this day, but I don't figure out until the night before so check my twitter feed @friendlvr, Friday around 6pm (Pacific Time)  to figure out if I will be working.
• If I do work on Saturday I will have to start the read-a-thon later since I can't read while at work. If I have to work Sunday then I might have to finish reading early in order to get some sleep. [I will announce if I am free all weekend on twitter.]
• If I don't update during a certain hour assume I'm no where near a WiFi connection or a computer, I will update what I did during those hours once I get a chance (this might happen at the beginning of the read-a-thon because of prior engagements). Again check my Twitter account where I will let you know any moment I plan to go somewhere (AFK). 

I posted an April TBR on YouTube (which has changed a bit) but in case you don't follow me on YouTube I will post it here too:

Hour 22-24

I finished reading a book in less than 24 hours which is an accomplishment for me since I'm a slow reader (as you can tell) so for the last 3 hours of the read-a-thon I'm going to sleep.

So goodnight, actually Good morning... Wherever you are I hope you had as much fun as me during the read-a-thon and see you later this year for the second Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon of the year.
