5. Are you on track to finish what you want to this weekend? What are your plans for the next 12 hours?
I'm doing well on my goals. I plan to read more after this web break, then sleep, then get up around 11am and read more tomorrow.

Oh, I've also gotten to 07:02:24.69 on my stopwatch!

I've finished 2 books!

-which I recommend to those with ADHD, and the people who love them.

I also just finished -which was pretty good, but with the speed turned to 1.45x the MMC sounded like he had a pair of fake vampire fangs in (and he's the slayer).

I can‘t do naps. I‘m awake or I sleep. Naps are hell, I wake ..."

Same, I get my solid minimum of 7 hours during my regular sleep time.

Agreed, if you don't sleep the next day is terrible! It starts and ends for me at 8am, so I'm not awake for the beginning or the end. I'm NOT a morning person, LOL

Finished my first book!

For those who have done more than one 24 to 72 hour long readathons. What are some things you do every time?

If this is your first Readathon what things are you planning to do or have already done that your think will make good habits?

I ALWAYS try to get at least 7-8 hrs of sleep, or I can't concentrate to read. I also take breaks so I don't burn out.

I can definitely do hr 13 or 14!

I started last night at 6pm.

I read 2 books I had already started & read:
24% of
&
32% of

I listened for a total of 3hrs 45mins.
