Okay, so last time I posted I asked about sleep. So this time, tell me how you stay awake if you do. Music,? caffeine? Exercise? Or do you just prefer the blissful sleep of the non-obsessive readathon-er?

I use music and caffeine myself. Plus a nap

Second book done shortly before going to sleep 3.5 stars, I wanted to like this book more but at some points I wanted to scream at the MC, she could be a bit of a not good-type of drama queen

Lol, if possible you should sleep during the readathon

I get about 3-4 hrs of planned sleep in one chunk sometimes I go to bed early though.
