This is my first year participating in Dewey’s Read-a-Thon, and it has been a great experience. However, Dewey past away 
last year. I was very sad to read about that when I originally signed up. She has started such a wonderful tradition. I wonder if she even realized the difference that she made and continues to make. So, here’s to you Dewey. Thank you for starting such a wonderful event that we are still benefiting from today.
If you haven’t had a chance to read about Dewey, please read the tributes made to her below.

Nice mention of Dewey.
I hope you’ve been enjoying the readathon and that you’ve got some good reading in!

I’m sure Dewey would be thrilled to see what a grand event this has grown into.
I like your earlier mention of holing up in a hotel for the read-a-thon! What a great way to pamper yourself.
