My First Readathon!

No, little kitty, while Military Strategy is sort of interesting to me, I don't think I'll be reading it for the read-a-thon.

So this weekend, I will be participating in my first readathon and I am so excited. The husband will be away with his guys for the weekend and I don't have a lot on my plate so I'm actually able to participate in the read-a-thon this time around. Woot! I'm participating in the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon. I've never done one before so I'm looking for any tips that you all could give me!

I'm going to try to read for the full 24 hours. I haven't made an official list of books that I'm going to try to get through because I wanted to leave myself open if a book I pick up isn't keeping my attention. I do have several books in mind that I definitely would like to get to (most of them are historical fiction and YA, which is perhaps unsurprising). If you've done one of these things before, do you usually make a list of books that you want to read or do you just grab something off of your shelves? How much planning do you do for a read-a-thon?

Is anyone else participating in the Dewey Read-a-thon? Do you have any other tips for me?
