#StayHome24in48 – The End

Published on by Rachelle

We have reached the end of the 24 in 48 readathon.  I have to be up early, so I’m off to bed.

Final Update
I listened to some of Lost Books and Old Bones while getting the cleaning done around the apartment.  I also spent quite a bit of time reading Glass Town, but I’m still just over 100 pages from the end.

While I didn’t meet my goal of finishing 3 books, and I didn’t get anywhere near reading for 24 hours, I did have a good time. I know I’ll finish Glass Town this week, probably by Wednesday.


In the Middle of Reading:

  • Glass Town by Steven Savile
  • Lost Books and Old Bones by Paige Shelton


Pages Read: 174
Time Read: 3 hours 55 minutes
Total Time Read: 11 hours and 34 minutes

Goodnight, Y’all!

#StayHome24in48 Readathon – Social Distancing Edition!

Published on by Rachelle


The Social Distancing Edition of the #24in48 Readathon just started, 9 pm PST (Midnight for all y’all East Coasters)!  This is the Readathon that started it all for me, and it’s the Readathon that will help keep me from going insane as the entire state of California is now under “shelter in place” orders.  This will be my 9th 24 in 48, and I’ve been so excited that I bravely walked to Target in search of snacks.

Goals:

  • Read for 24 hours.
  • Finish at least three books.

TBR:
The first book on my TBR is the one I’m currently reading, but everything else are books I’ve been wanting to read for awhile.

  • The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
  • The First Pillar by Roy Huff
  • The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop by Lewis Buzbee
  • How to Build A Girl by Caitlan Moran
  • Jackaby by William Ritter
  • The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

#24in48 Readathon – Nighty Night, Y'all!

Published on by Rachelle

We have reached the end of the 24 in 48 readathon.  I’m going to bed after a well-deserved weekend of reading.

Final Update
I listened to nearly half of Redshirts while I ignored the rest of the world.  I also spent quite a bit of time reading Wizard and Glass, but I’m still about 150 pages from the end.

While I didn’t meet my goal of finishing 3 books, and I didn’t get anywhere near reading for 24 hours, I did have a great time, and I turned more pages than I would have this weekend without the readathon. I know I’ll finish Wizard and Glass this week, probably by Tuesday.
In the Middle of Reading:

  • Wizard and Glass by Stephen King
  • Redshirts by John Scalzi


Total Pages Read: 247
Time Read: 6 hours 2 minutes
Total Time Read: 14 hours and 3 minutes

#24in48 Readathon – Hour 12!

Published on by Rachelle

It’s hour 12 of the 24 in 48 readathon and here’s my first update!

Update #1
Since the official start time was 12 am EST and I live in California, I had intended to read a bit before I went to bed.  Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.  Instead, I realized just how exhausted I was from an extremely busy week at my new job, and decided to go to sleep early.
I also didn’t read this morning because I was busy getting ready to get out the door to meet with a friend for brunch.  I swear I will read A LOT before my next update, but until then, below is what I intended to read.
Current Read: Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

Pages Read: 0
Time Read: 0
My next update will be at 9 pm Pacific time, and I’m sure I’ll have much more to share!  See you then 🙂
