I had so much fun participating in the 24in48 readathon! I’d love to participate in more, so if you know of any let me know!
I read a total of 8 hours and 32 minutes. I wanted to hit 12 hours, but I did have my almost 3-year-old at home. Sunday he was more energetic than usual, and I was utterly exhausted. I got a lot of reading done after he finally passed out. I read about 4-ish hours a day, which I think is more than I read in a normal weekend! I really liked clocking my time. It also made me focus and just read – not check fb or twitter every 2 minutes. It worked so well for me I may try to start tracking daily time or weekly time!
As a reminder, here are the books I wanted to read –
Here’s how I did:
- When I started, I was about 22% into We Are the Wildcats. I ended up finishing late 3/21!
- As soon as I finished I started Music From Another World. I only got about 6% in before I fell asleep.
- I finished the readathon at 76% into Music From Another World. I ended up finishing it 3/23.
- Not part of the readathon, but as soon as I finished Music From Another World, I started Hungry For Your Love!
All in all, I am super proud of how I did! I think adding an extra two hours a day would have been pretty tough for me with my kid here. If he was at his grandparents I think it wouldn’t have been an issue at all!
