Dewey's Read-a-Thon: Hours 1-6

I had such a hard time going to bed last night because I was so excited.  It's 7am here and I probably won't be okay until 10 but it's all good :)
I don't want to flood everyone' readers so I will create a new post every six hours.   I will post updates throughout the event and follow my twitter pretty closely.  I will post new links on twitter as well.  If you stop by, make sure to comment so I can return the visit and cheer you on!
Here goes!
