I spent 20 hours reading this weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. I love the 24in48 Readathon! There are a lot of 24-hour readathons out there, but I need to sleep so I never even attempt them. But aiming for 24 hours within 48 works perfectly for me. This time...

Despite having been an avid reader (yes a bibliophage!) for my entire life, I wouldn’t be blogging without my pals at Litsy. Litsy’s an app for iOS and Android, and it’s where the cool bookish folks hang out. I hope you’ll come join us there!...
