 This weekend marks another Dewey's readathon we'll be participating in.   We first participated in June 2008.  


As I have a busy morning all ready planned my goal is to read 1000 pages, but more importantly just have the opportunity to switch off and relax after a crazy few weeks.


I will post updates every three hours on progress...
