P&PS

  So the readathon didn’t go at all like I had expected, mainly because I ended up sleeping most of Saturday and didn’t feel like doing much on Sunday. Multiple days of headaches at the end of the week will do that to a weekend, particularly ones with readathons on them as I’ve repeatedly discovered. I did do about four and a half hours of reading, most of that with an audiobook so I’m pleased with that and I did pick at a few other books. PAGE COUNT TITLE START CURRENT TOTAL Lose Your Mother 22 118 255 Notes on a Silencing 28 108 290 Grass (graphic novel) 0 75 479 The Color of Air 0hrs 0mins 2hrs 50mins 9hrs 21mins That’s 251 pages and almost 3 hours of audiobook which is the equivalent of another 97 pages (348 total), that’s not bad, much more than I would have done without the readathon, so I’m calling it a success.

I’m so thrilled this readathon is back (and this weekend!). I was a little worried it wouldn’t be so I have no complaints about the change in format or anything else. This is one of my favorite readathons, short and sweet but incredibly productive in terms of my TBR so it’s a definite win win for me. On the list for this round are quite a few books that have been lingering in progress since I blew through a bunch of books at the start of the year, including a couple that are due back during the readathon.
