0:00.0	You're listening to All the More Books, a weekly show about books of all kinds.
0:15.1	I'm your host, Danica Ellis, and today I'm talking about some of the books on my spring readathon TBR.
0:21.8	So it is officially April, and you know what that means.
0:26.2	It's time, almost, for Dewey's 24-hour readathon.
0:30.5	So this is a readathon that started in 2007.
0:33.4	It's named after its founder, who sadly passed away in 2009. And since then, a rotating
0:41.2	team of people have kept it going twice a year. This whole time, I think that's amazing. And it's such a
0:49.8	great community. You just have a lot of people on all platforms cheering you on, sharing with their
0:55.8	reading. I really recommend checking it out. This will be, I believe, my 15th year straight
1:02.8	celebrating. I've done it twice a year. I don't think I've missed any that whole time. And I love
1:09.5	it. If you haven't done it before, you definitely don't have to read the
1:14.0	full 24 hours. You can sleep. You can eat. You can have a shower. You can do whatever your
1:19.7	obligations are. Some people just try to fit in a little more reading around their workday or
1:25.2	taking care of kids, reading picture books together, whatever you can.
1:28.8	It is extremely flexible.
1:31.5	The important thing is that you prioritize reading and you get some good snacks in.
1:37.8	It's April 18th to 19th.
1:40.8	It's my favorite day of the year, the readathon. And before I get into the books on my TBR, I want to talk to you about the new release index.
1:55.8	Today's episode is brought to you by Poetry Magazine, wishing you a happy poetry month this April.
2:02.4	Book Riot fans are invited to celebrate poetry all year long with a special deal.
2:07.6	Subscribe to one year of poetry and receive a free limited edition notebook.
2:12.1	Practice makes poetry, and we'd like to offer you a space for your own reflections and creativity.
