Have something to chat about related to the current Readathon but it doesn't seem to fit any of the other topics? Chat away here!

Just a little over 54 hours to go. Are you all set?
TBR set? Snacks and drinks bought? Readathon activities/boards checked out?

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*  (erinpaperbackstash) | 1864 comments I am excited!

Have to get through today at work but no biggie. Will soft-start tomorrow although have other things to do with life stuff such as a phone call, dinner, etc, but looking forward to some time off.

Have the food and drinks planned/done, TBR Set (although I did not finish all my reading plans of the week and will not, ah well). Want to print out some journal pages for offline jotting when reading, make sure electronics charged. Have my cups for read-a-thon out of cabinets, need to sort the teas. Have four physical books pulled out, need to get the bookmarks together. :)

New bubble bath is ready. There's a few odds and ends for me to wrap up today and tomorrow.

The hubby and I just docked at the harbor and will spend Friday walking around in Sardinia.
I will spend Saturday and Sunday reading from a hotel room. I will get food from room service.
I have two paperbacks with me and my kindle. I might do an audio too but, not sure yet.
Can’t wait!

Camilla (cyqua) | 69 comments I have not been prepping at all other than to pick out a stack that I think I want to read :D Have some errands to run today, but am in Italy time zone, so have until 2 pm before the readathon starts, so I will try to manage before, but always have my audiobook with me worst case. Will try and spend some time outside as well since the warmer days are quickly ending here...

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*  (erinpaperbackstash) | 1864 comments I have been reading hours - now need a break with audio, computer, and coffee. Almost midnight here.

I only open the sprint that is going on at that time cause people sometimes got confused which sprint was the current one

Ok, I was trying to add my sprint during hour 12 but it was locked during the entire hour. I gave up after that.

Cathy  (cathepsut) | 903 comments The sprint for hour 12 was locked while it was happening. I just figured you were asleep… 😏

I managed to hour 17 before I feel asleep:D A bit of a record.

No, I opened it a half hour early even, stayed awake just for that. But GR has been a pain in the a**. As I wasn't going to read myself, I didn't check if it one could post.
Sorry, next time I will check!

Though it's strange, cause when I opened hour 16, hour 12 was open....
