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!
