I didn't get started until nearly 11:00 a.m. (plan was 6:00!) because I didn't sleep well, got phone calls, etc. Anyway, will keep reading until I drop tonight!

Personal Readathon 4/23/22

It turns out I am alone again for a day and a half this weekend, without any important commitments! So...since it's just a week until the official Dewey's Readathon (in which I am not able to participate), I'm going to have another Personal RAT. Yay! My stack includes a few leftovers from the last one a few weeks ago:

State of Terror by Hilary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny (also on audio)

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid (also on audio)

Love Literary Style by Karin Gillespie

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende (also on audio)

On Kindle: The Woodlanders by Thomas Hardy

                   Subdivision by J. Robert Lennon

                   The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen

                   With No One As Witness by Elizabeth George

                   Music in History by Ahmir Questlove Thompson

                   When a Crocodile Eats the Sun by Peter Godwin

I'm starting fresh with nothing in progress, so let's see how many pages I can tear through! 😊📚📙📘

Hours 25 - 48

 Since last update:

Void Moon - 9 pages (audio), finished

The Echo Wife - 52 pgs (audio), finished

Go to Sleep: I Miss You - 88 pgs, finished (actually 177 pages, but some pages only had a single cartoon panel so I'm only counting half )

In Concrete - 42 pgs

Mystery of the Moss-covered Mansion - 54 pgs

Me by Elton John - 22 pgs  (audio - I hadn't planned on starting this one during the RAT, but I needed a new audiobook and this was available)

Final total, hours: 10 hr 48 min (3 hr 20 min reading, 7 hr 28 min audio)

Final total, pages: 658

Not stellar totals for 48 hours, but it was fun anyway. I guess I answered my question about whether I would get more done without the social media. The answer is no! It's too easy to give in to distractions when I'm not participating as part of the 'official' event.

Hours 18 - 24

Since last update:

The Sentence - 2 pgs

The Echo Wife - 60 pgs (audio)

Running total, hours: 1 hr 50 min reading, 6 hr 48 min audio

Running total, pages: 400

Since I was gone for almost 3 hours last night, I decided to make this a 48-hour readathon and keep reading today. Why not?! I'm behind on my reading goals for the year, so this will help me catch up. 😀

Hours 10 - 17

 Since last update:

Void Moon - 76 pgs (audio), finished

The Sentence - 54 pgs

Running total, hours: 1 hr 50 min reading, 5 hr 10 min audio

The Echo Wife - 2 pgs (audio)

In Concrete - 37 pgs

Running total, hours: approx. 45 min reading, 3 hr 34 min audio

I got invited to dinner tonight, so that will be a 2-hour-ish break. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I can't read for very long at a time anyway. Hoping I can still stay up pretty late!
