·OnlineOnline31 attendees from 15 groupsDewey’s 24-Hour Read-A-Thon (https://deweysreadathon.wordpress.com/) is back!! I love doing this event because I get through a book or two in one day.
On April 18th, the Challenge of reading ALL DAY long starts. During the bi-annual read-a-thon, we will read books, post to our blogs, Facebook, The StoryGraph, or Goodreads about our reading, and check in here. We will also participate in mini-challenges throughout the day. This event happens twice a year, in April and October. It was created by a book lover named Dewey. The first one was held in October 2007. Dewey died in late 2008. The read-a-thon was renamed to honor its founder in 2009.

·OnlineOnline11 attendees from 15 groupsEvent Date & Time:
April 25 at 10:00 AM PST /1:00 PM ESTEvent Description:
Join Mocha Girls Read for a special gathering as we discuss our March Extra Monthly Book Selection, The Butterfly Effect by Charles Najjar.
This inspiring short story reminds us that even the smallest beginnings can lead to powerful transformation. In a world shaped by fear, rules, and limitations, what does it look like to believe something greater is possible for yourself?
Together, we will read, discuss, and review the book while exploring themes of growth, self-discovery, and stepping into your next chapter.As part of our sponsored book commitment, we will also take intentional time during this meeting to support the author by sharing and posting our individual reviews. Mocha Girls Read, we will strive to have five to ten members post reviews of the book on Goodreads or on Amazon. Your voice matters.
Whether you have finished the book or are still reading, you are welcome. Your voice, your perspective, and your presence matter here.If you have a Netgalley account, get your copy here: https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/804844
