24B4Monday Readathon discussion

I'm interstate this weekend so I'm gonna jump on board next month. Good luck to all participating! :)

I'm going to concentrate on completing some challenges that end in May. So, I don't think I'm going to get around to the theme this month.

Subject to change until challenge start:

TBR:
Books:

Audio:


Friday:
Hours Read: 10
Pages Read: 600
Hours Listened: 2

Comments: Got off to a great start due to day off. ;-) Ten hours of reading allowed me finish off the two books I was currently reading and to sneak in a graphic novel. Also got in 2 hours of audiobook listening for a total of 12 hours.

Saturday:
Hours Read: 2
Pages Read: 93
Hours Listened: 4

Comments: More audiobook listening today as I need to go pull weeds and mow the grass. Between that and actual reading time, I'm hoping to get in at least 6 hours of listening/reading in today.

Sunday:
Hours Read: 4
Pages Read: 135
Hours Listened: 2.5

Comments: Page numbers are an approximation. I always forget to record start and end pages. Hours are correct, though. I think I'll just track those next time.

Totals:
Hours Read: 16
Pages Read: 828
Hours Listened: 8.5
Hours read + hours listened = 24.5

Comments: Page numbers are an approximation. I always forget to record start and end pages. I made the 24 hours using a combo of reading and listening and had a ton of fun! I finished 4 books and am 80% finished with another. All and all, a great experience and a wonderful way to blast through the last couple of books needed for some of my reading challenges.

Thank you, Tamara and jb!! This will most certainly become a monthly ritual for me. Looking forward to next month! 😍

Books Completed:

I plan on finishing City of Heavenly Fire, and reading 5 more chapters of Harry Potter and the Chanber Of Secrets the Illustrated edition, to get up to chapter 15. I also plan on listening to 2 hours of my audiobook of August and Everything After and I plan on starting my new buddy read book as well! If I have time I’ll start Burned(Pretty Little Liars#12) I believe it is! I’ll update my progress each night!

Kristina, hope you like Tea Girl! I love Lisa See!

I will also be tracking on my spreadsheet. Made a new tab for Monthly updating.

My Group Planning Post (Tentative TBR Plans) here.

FRIDAY PROGRESS

Hello all! Today is going to be a very busy day for me. Work, then have to bring my son about 45 min away to a friend's graduation. My mother and I are just dropping him off and spending a few hours hanging out and shopping, but will not be home until late. Don't think I'll get that much reading done, but I will get a little in between slow spurts and lunch hour.

As planned, I started Murder House yesterday and am about 10% in. I plan to read a bit more of it before anything else today.

Update - Graduation attendance cancelled!! I had a lot more time to read than I thought. Spent about 4 hours and finished Murder House, my first book down. I feel like I read so slow!

Finished the last 30% of a humor fantasy on the couch, The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple

Then started and read Exorcist Falls - good book, I'm on a roll! :) - almost done, have a little under half left

SATURDAY PROGRESS

After Midnight, read a little over 100 pages of It's Kind of a Funny Story - after that, got tired, and bed. Zzzzz

Now updating at 12 in the afternoon, no more reading (yet)

I want to prioritize finishing the last part of It's Kind of a Funny Story, then reading some of Kindred, and starting other stories. Going well so far.

Just read 30 minutes of It's Kind of a funny story, finished.

Finished Exorcist falls last night, 35 in


SUNDAY PROGRESS

Read and finished Inescapable (not originally planned)

Was caught up in a bunch of stuff so my reading time was cut out a lot :/

I'm at just under 2 hours so far, working through No Way.

Turns out that's not going to be a read-a-thon book since I stayed up way too late last night finishing it. It was really good!! ;-)

Hi everyone!
My goals for this weekend were to finish a couple of my current reads Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century, then start either Natchez Burning or Crazy Rich Asians (or both, depending on my mood!). I'll keep track here.

Saturday: American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century 55 pgs, finished

Natchez Burning 142 pgs
My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain 52 pgs

I kept forgetting to keep track of the time, it was probably around 8-9 hours total.

I did reach my goal of finishing the two current reads, and the two I started today are really good so far! Looking forward to the next one! :)

How is everyone coming along? I must say all of your trackers and ideas to track reads are pretty cool. I love spreadsheets, and miss having my computer with excel. Great ideas!

Progress

No Way 3 hours, complete
Akame ga KILL!, Vol. 03 30 minutes, complete

Good job guys! I’m excited to get started in a bit. I had some chores to do first....booooo! LOL

I had to work today and can't read at work, and then I had some things to do when I got home, so I'm just now getting started at 7:23PM, but hopefully I can knock out some good reading tonight!

Since the graduation attendance by my son was cancelled, finsihed a book and updated it above.

Pesky work is always getting in the way of reading. At least you’ll get some in now. I was pretty lucky at my last job because I could listen to audiobooks while working.

Good job Erin! Believe me it doesn’t matter how slow you go so long as your having fun while reading. I’m glad you got some reading time in today!
