r. sesh 1:read about 20 pages (p.551-570)for 1h10m (11:50am to 1pm) just before brunch bcs i was semi-spoiled abt the ending i had 50 pages left wth! was planning to finish it in 1 go after brunch but i had to read a few pages out of spite | r. sesh 2:read p.570-585 for 1h30m (5:20-6:50pm)& i’m abt to have dinner so i want to save the last 16 pages for after ik i’ll have to sit w/ my thoughts for quite some time

reading sesh 1: i think this may be my best personal record yet wow read 27 pages in an hour… i left at p.463 at 4ish am a while ago & read from p.463-490 from 1:57-2:57 pm today just some quick reading before eating
r. sesh 2: read 61 pages (p.490-p.551) from 11 pm-3 am & i’m ending this sesh on a bittersweet note i mean what a chapter is ch.50 one more session & i’m gonna finish this book i can’t believe it

just read from 11:42 pm-4:42 am w/ a 1hr break in between & was able to finish 75 pages & it’s getting good! the chapter i ended on was by far the best so i decided to end this reading sesh on a good note & the chapter coincidentally ended on p.462 which after starting on p.387 today was my goal lol.i also noticed that i started this book reading 10 pages an hour & now i can do 20 & sometimes even 25 pages an hour!

read 15 pages yesterday & wasn’t able to read much before that because i was out with my family during the weekend BUT i did read 75 more pages today which i think is a great feat. 20 more pages until part 4 (which i did not know existed until today when i was flipping through the pages which i thought were part 3’s until i saw a blank left page then saw pt4 lol) really want to see how the twins navigate teenhood

just read 20 more pages of this behemoth because i couldn’t sleep from 2:45ish to 5 am this sunday. i slept before the clock struck 10 “yesterday” and it was only due to exhaustion from the day & my lack of sleep the day before (the cause being this book… i read 75 pages until 5 am the last time i picked this up) & i kept tossing & turning at 1 am today so i ultimately gave up on sleep & chose to read instead

finished 75 more pages yay! onto part 3!!! i can finally sleeeeep ~ i hope to get more reading done this weekend though i know i’ll be pretty much out ~ i tabbed and annotated a lot from the last chapter of part 2 so many great lines to ponder on! the twins have been nameddd

i took a 3 hr nap last tuesday (after reading 108 pages of this big chunky classic in one sitting) & then i read 62 more pages from late afternoon ‘til 9:30 pm of the same day (i read between brunch & dinner) so safe to say that i read ‘til p. 170 last tues & i read 30 more pages at a wake 2day so #200 pages done. i’m almost halfway through part2 (annotated & tabbed too) & today’s the show’s release day😍
