We are in our final hour of this readathon, officially anyway. When Hour 24 is over, what are you doing next? Nap?, More reading? Finishing parts of the Book Report Challenge? Getting started planning for our next readathon (in October)?

Cathy  (cathepsut) | 663 comments I‘ll be going to bed in the next few minutes. I‘m going hiking with a friend tomorrow and will get up fairly early. However, when I get home tomorrow night, I will try to finish The Empress of Salt and Fortune at least…

Lena | 364 comments I'm planning to take a long hot shower and will probably continue read a bit and catch up on some shows I like to watch.

Lynnette | 337 comments I'm with Lena, bathing is in order and then I'll likely join my hubby in front of the television for the remainder of the evening. This was great Jaime. No pressure, but I really like the idea of another inter-readathon challenge. No pressure:-)

I plan on it. That style of challenge is a great activity for between readathons that does not require a lot of extra admin work from our team of volunteer admins. :)

I slept for more hours than scheduled, so I will continue reading. I have already borrowed from Hoopla

Harlequin Valentine by Neil Gaiman
The Girl Who Was Convinced Beyond All Reason That She Could Fly by Sybil Lamb

I am in Albuquerque New Mexico . Do I have two more hours to read because of the time difference ?

Already looking forward to October! Thanks, Jamie!

The official times, based on the time zone for New York, are set up so that everyone starts and stops at the same actual time, though the time on our various clocks varies based on our time zones. Any time zone conversion site or app can tell you what time your clock says when it is a particular time in New York. Officially we finished our event at 8pm Eastern (EDT rather than EST because we are in Daylight Savings mode right now), so all our discussion questions are posted, all the official activities we hosted are done, and no doubt most of the admin team are taking a well-earned long nap now. That said, you can keep reading as long as you wish, and continue to chime in on discussion questions, participate in posted activities, and post on social media about your readathon reading. The admin team is just not actively hosting readathon stuff right now.

I managed to stay awake until 1am (my end time) and fell asleep within 10 minutes lol
Today I had planned to update my readathon stats and visit all the threads and also the posts on IG and Twitter but had some chores to do so only just started. So I probably won't read today. I do hope to write my reviews and update the other readathons I'm participating in this month (and year).
