I read Dewey when the book first came out several years ago. This book has been in my audio library for some time, and I finally pulled it out to listen to. These are stories about other people‘s cats for the most part, but Dewey comes up in every chapter. People wrote to Vicki Myron about their cats because she had told them about her best friend, Dewey. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Readerann I haven‘t been around Litsy lately, but will be here Saturday. I LOVE Readathon day! 4y
ReadingSusan Yay! I am so excited!!! 4y
CatLass007 I read Dewey several years ago and now I‘m reading Dewey‘s Nine Lives. I know this readathon was three years ago and I‘m sorry I missed it. Any plans to ever have another one? 1y
ReadingSusan @CatLass007 the Dewey‘s 24 Hour Readathon is actually held twice (sometimes thrice) a year. It actually isn‘t connected to the Dewey books at all. You can Google it to find out more. It‘s one of my favorite Readathons to participate in. 1y
CatLass007 Thank you! 1y

• As usual, I love the team-spirit @DeweysReadathon enthusiasm!! It's esp potent today as we collectively reminisce #deweymemories. I'm fuzzy on how many times I've participated 🧐 4-5, I think. Amazed that so many of you have been around since the start!! So happy Dewey's lives on!! 🦋📚•

• Before I could erupt in silent mental tears over the email saying the event is over, I received the good news that Dewey's lives on. More details hopefully coming Saturday during the #readathon!! This made my whole week 🥰 Are you joining in? •

JamieArc This is usually my favorite day of the year, but a day spent at home reading is not at all appealing to me right now (since we‘ve had to be home every day for so long), which makes me really sad. I‘ll try though. 5y
bibliobliss @JamieArc Understand how you feel, and yes, things somehow feel different this time. But still -- good luck to you!! 5y

This was one of the books I got for my special birthday last year. A friend‘s favourite book. I loved this book . I‘m such a cat person and I laughed and cried my way through the different stories generated from people knowing Of Dewey the library cat. A very lovely gentle read. @MrsMalaprop

CarolynM Too adorable, I will have to read this one😻 6y

I had no idea Dewey's Readathon was celebrating 10 years! Sadly, I can't join the fun on the day, as I will be a #SaturdayLibrarian, but definitely getting in the #30daysofReadathon game!

"How are we to know what a person's days are like? Emily Dickinson's neighbors thought of her as a sad spinster living quietly in her parents' house, when in fact she was one of the greatest poets in the history of the English language and a frequent correspondent with the most accomplished writers of her day. Shyness isn't a problem, after all; it's a personality type."
