The first FFP 24 Hour Readathon!

 

Finally, it’s official! Flips Flipping Pages is hosting the first official 24 Hour Readathon event in the Philippines!

The 24 Hour Readathon is an international blogging event mounted in memory of Dewey, a blogger and a reader who started the event in October 2007.
