I’ve survived the first 8 hours of Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon and I haven’t fallen asleep on the couch even once! I’m pretty sure I have the dirty chai from Peet’s to thank for that. Well, the chai AND the amazing books I’ve read so far.
Pages Read: 207
Books Read:Charlie he Choo-Choo by Beryl Evans, A Leaf on the Wind of All-Hallows by Diana Gabaldon
Time Read: 6 hours and 54 minutes
Yummy in my Tummy: I had a giant cup of tea, then the large dirty chai with a veggie breakfast burrito from Peet’s for breakfast. I also had an oatmeal raisin cookie and some hot apple cider around 11:30.
Until my 2nd update, at 9 pm, I’ll continue reading the remaining books on my Goodreads list.
Whether you’re participating in the readathon or not, what book(s) are you currently reading?
Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon has officially started! I stumbled out of the bed about 20 minutes ago and immediately started the kettle to make myself a giant mug of tea. I was going to have Peet’s be delivered since a readathon is a perfect time for pastries and chai, but I decided that is a good reason to put in my earbuds, start an audiobook, and go for a walk! I’ll be posting my updates every 8 hours, assuming my pile of books keeps me awake.
What fine part of the world are you reading from today? I’m in Emeryville, CA.
Which book in your stack are you looking forward to the most? For the first time, I have no idea. I put so many great books on my readathon-maybes list, and I have 5 more books from the library.
Which snack are you looking forward to the most? Pastries from Peet’s!
Tell us a little something about yourself! Here are 20 somethings about myself. Also, I have a second fur baby now, Raith:
If you participated in the last readathon, what’s one thing you’ll do differently today? I’m going to try reading the books I have on my list in order of shortest to longest.
I usually put my TBR here, but the link to my pile is up above and currently stands at 41 books tall. My first update will be at 1 pm. I’ll be tracking how many pages I read and any books I finish. I’ll also include snacks I’ve nommed, and any musical earworms that have gotten into my head.

I did a lot of audiobook listening this week, but I’m also nearly done with The All-New Sequel part of Hocus Pocus. I haven’t been feeling well most of the weekend, and have had a terrible headache, so I’m still limiting my screen time.

Total books for the year: 61 of 85. I don’t think I’ve ever read so little in one week since I started this blog. What have I been doing with my time? Working, listening to podcasts, watching “Supernatural.” I’ve also been getting to bed later than usual instead of my normal 30 minutes early so I can relax with a good book. Hopefully, I will get back to my normal routine this week.
