DEWITHON PLANNER 2024
Dewithon is an opportunity for book bloggers and readers in general around the world to discover Welsh writers and their works (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays – in fact anything written in English or Welsh with links to the nation of Wales).
We will begin our usual 31 days of celebration on Friday 1st March 2024 (St. David’s Day), with an official page appearing on which your Dewithon-related posts will feature. In the meantime, you can find plenty of useful links and reading suggestions in the freshly updated DHQ (Dewithon Headquarters) post and in our Reading Wales Library (there’s also oodles of information on The Welsh Diaspora and its Literature page), but please do not hesitate to ask for help if you are struggling to get started. You are encouraged to read and share your thoughts on any book or literary subject with a connection to Wales, so prepare to dechrau darllen (start reading)!
Missing Host
For reasons outlined in Winding Up the Week #360, I will be forced to set Dewithon 2024 to automatic pilot for extended periods – but will, as promised, pop in as often as possible. I therefore haven’t selected a specific readathon title for this year’s event, though I did suggest in my post that you may like to read The Winchester Codex, Frances Spurrier’s exciting new fantasy novel set in Wales.
Get Dewithoning!
Please be sure to let me know if you write anything at all about Reading Wales, though I’m especially keen to highlight your reviews and features. To do this, simply drop me a line or leave a link to your piece in the comments section below – and should you discuss the challenge on social media, I would appreciate you using either one or both of the following hashtags: #Dewithon24 and #ReadingWales24.
Thank you and good luck (diolch a phob lwc)!
