Hours 19 - 24 and Wrap-Up

 I listened to 22 pages of Wild Dark Shore before succumbing to sleep. 

Wrap - Up

I Who Have Never Known Men - 164 pgs, finished

Code Name Verity - 127 pgs

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven - 53 pgs

All the Blues in the Sky - 50 pgs

The Soul of an Octopus - 10 pgs

Wild Dark Shore - 76 pgs (audio)

Final total, pages - 480

Final total, hours - 9 hr 33 min (6 hr 57 min reading, 2 hr 36 min audio)

I would like to have hit at least 10 hours (I think my record is 12-something), but I'm pretty happy with the results considering I wasn't well-rested at the start. Can't wait for the next one!

Hours 13 - 18

Code Name Verity - 77 pgs

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven - 53 pgs

The Soul of an Octopus - 10 pgs

All the Blues in the Sky - 50 pgs

Total pages so far:  459

I'd like to get at least one more hour in, either now or at the end. We'll see how it goes. It's almost 1:00 a.m. and I'm starting to fade....

Hours 7 - 12

I Who Have Never Known Men - 61 pgs, finished

Wild Dare Shore - 26 pgs (audio)

Code Name Verity - 51 pgs

Total so far, pages: 269

I'll calculate hours at the end. I took a short walk which woke me up for a while, but I'm struggling today.

Hours 1 - 6

I Who Have Never Known Men - 103 pgs

Wild Dark Shore - 28 pgs (audio)

I didn't sleep well, so we'll see how well I do today. I did read for the first hour, but then slept for the 2nd! I'll do the next sprint, then head out for an "audiowalk" and hope that re-energizes me. 

Dewey's Readathon - April 18, 2026

It's that time again! The Readathon has changed a lot since I started doing it 15 years ago (!!) But as long as it still exists in some form, I will keep doing my best to participate. 

And now....my traditional stack of 10. I have a few of them on audio or Kindle as well.

Now, to finish up current reads, do some cleaning, and decide on food for the Big Day. Countdown at 3 days, 19 hours, 18 minutes!

Wrap-Up

 I read/listened to 170 pages during Hours 19 - 24.

What I read this RAT:

- The Case of the Velvet Claws - 193 pgs finished. It was a fun blast from the past, but I like the Perry of the TV series a lot more.

- The Once and Future King - 28 pgs (105 to 133). My current 1001 read. It's fun.

- Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard - 95 pgs. I love Desai's writing, but the story is meh so far.

- Swamplandia! - 40 pgs (already in progress, audio). Very unique and well-written. Putting her new one on my TBR.

- Dinner for Vampires - 185 pgs - Audiobook is fantastic.

Final total, pages: 542

Final total, hours: 12 hr 20 min (5 hr 32 min reading, 6 hr 48 min audio)

I had a great readathon! I would have liked the page count a little higher, but I listened to more audio than planned and the readers weren't quite slow enough for me to up the speed (that rarely happens). I enjoyed the 2:00 p.m. start time and being able to rest in the middle. Next time, it will be back to the challenging 6:00 a.m. At least it's not 5:00 (PST)!

Hours 13 - 18

Swamplandia! - 14 pgs (audio)

Dinner for Vampires - 33 pgs (audio)

Running total: 372 pages

I slept for a couple of hours, then woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I will be a tired girl today. I'm really into both my audiobooks - especially Dinner for Vampires. SO good.
