Unfortunately, I’m not going to get to participate in Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon this weekend. I’m back in the Twin Cities for some volunteering and time with friends and family, so devoting a whole day to reading just wasn’t going to work. I’m excited to see family, but disappointed about the Read-a-Thon. Oh well, there’s always April 
My one tip for tomorrow is to turn off your word verification — I know it helps protect from spam, but during Read-a-Thon it gets so annoying for cheerleaders and others to type in those letters. As a friendly reminder, check out this cartoon I made last year as part of my mini-challenge:
Have fun, and good luck!

Have a great time with your friends and family!
Have a lovely time! And will definitely be turning off the word verification!
Love the comic! Lol!
Have a great time tomorrow! I won’t be able to join the reading either, but I plan on cheering from time to time
LOL! SO true! I’ll be making the same plea tomorrow (but without the cute illustrations).
That’s a great comic! That’s what drove me crazy last year, too! Have a good weekend.
I love this! Have a great time this weekend!
Snerk! Have a good time with your family, and safe travels!
Have fun! (I’m already feeling silly for the lack of real anything in my comments and it hasn’t even started… I’ll pull myself through this, I’m sure.)
CHEERS!
Hehe. Thanks for the reminder, just turned mine off. Have a great weekend, where are you volunteering?
YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED the session I attended at bookfest with Mezrich on the panel! Pogue was really funny, too. and the next event with Hodgman (and Tom Perotta) was TERRIFIC. He is very quick-witted and I had NO IDEA his literary background. Bookfest was awesome.
Me = jealous of you, Care. Sounds awesome!
Hope you had a great time w/ family. I was cheerleading for 12 hours during the read-a-thon and was, I admit it, tired of the word verifications over and over and over again. However, what made me more annoyed was those blogs denying me access and where you have to be a member of something to comment. Hrrmrpphh. Anyway, nothing annoyed me more than the haters on Twitter when #readathon began trending. Amazing how many trolls are out there, getting off by being rude to others
LOL! Love the word-verification version of you, Kim!
Word Verification Kim is actually a picture my old roommate made for me the first dya we discovered the character creator. I especially love the bike helmet and the ax because they don’t see to go together
Thanks for the comments, everyone! I hope the Read-a-Thon was fun — I’m trying to catch up with how things went by skimming a bit, but there are so many posts!
I had to miss the Read-a-thon, too, and I’m not even trying to catch up on those posts. It’s not possible!
