Elyse's Readathoning! est. 2017
Oh no!! Migraines on readathon days are the worst! You still did good though and I'm glad you were feeling better the next day!
I’m glad to hear you got 2 books read before life threw a roadblock. Hope you are doing well now!

Hello out there! I just created my sign-up post for April 30 in my personal Readathon/Challenge group! I hope the pre-readathon challenges start soon and I hope they bring the board game back!
Is it that time again already? Yay! I hope they bring those back, too, unless they have some new, exciting game ideas ;)
Yesss, Jamie did mention wanting to do a new version of the boardgame. Fingers crossed. And bring on the warm up challenges!
I'm so ready for warm up challenges! I'm embarrassed to say I've been checking in for weeks even though I know it's still early. I loved the board game; that may have been my favorite warm up ever.

My one goal tonight, okay two goals tonight, are to make my veggie tray and finish reading
. BUT I am so exhausted, having accidentally been woken up (partner snoring) at 4:15am. So we'll see if I get Red Dragon done. And maybe I'll scrape together a TBR because I *did* go to the library yesterday.
I hope you get a good night's sleep, Elyse, and have a fabulous Readathon tomorrow! Unfortunately, I'll have to miss this one but hope to be back in October.

I've been pretty constant on Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/winesaboutbooks) but have pretty much avoided Goodreads. It gets a bit overwhelming now. I had to stop all notifications and then slowly add the ones I wanted back in. We're nearing the halfway mark already and it's wild how quickly the first half goes!I'm not going to get into any sort of totals right now, this is just a quick check-in and break.
I finished
(both started prior to the 'thon)I read completely
I'm about to finish
(also started prior to the 'thon) and that will wrap up my April books.Then I'm thinking I'll be able to read
while still in April as I hate to carry books over into the next month! If I *do* finish it and *don't* go to sleep, I have some short graphic novels to blaze through before it turns May!Happy reading all and I will catch up again at the end!
Yes, the first half has just flown by. Enjoy your reading for the rest of the Readathon! Read on ;)
I used to hate carrying books over, because I kept monthly reading logs. Nowadays I don't even remember to list all my reads on goodreads. :P I kind of miss the journaling, but it's also nice to not have the stress of it. Not sure how many hours you have left of April (I've technically been in May for two hours already), but I hope you get through your April books. lol Enjoy the rest of the readathon. (And it's not really May until you've been to sleep and wake up again.)

I hate carrying books over as well, it was a little over midnight when I finished mine, which I think is good enough right? So I'll count them as April reads.Looks like you're having an awesome readathon! I've been checking your posts on IG. I'm posting there too, as well as here on GR, on Twitter and on FB. But I have a selected time I spent on social media (while listening to my audiobook) so that's doable.
Elyse, Leni & Susy - agree with not liking carrying over books to the next month! It's always nice to start with a clean slate for the month but many times it just doesn't happen for me. And that's ok!
Elyse, it looks like you are having a great readathon! I hope you are still reading and keeping those eyes open :)
Susan wrote: "Yes, the first half has just flown by. Enjoy your reading for the rest of the Readathon! Read on ;)"Thanks Susan! I enjoyed my sleep! ;) And then read for the last hour and a half.

And I only ended up reading 21 pages of Nettle & Bone so I'm counting for May anyway. It all worked out. lol

Absolutely counts! If I have less than 100 pages, I count it towards the previous month. If I haven't even read 100 pages, like Nettle & Bone only managed 21 pages, I count it towards the next month.
Girl, you kept yourself busy posting on all socials! Wow!

Occasionally it happens where I have too much of the book left and whatever, but I try not to make a habit of it. lol
Susan wrote: "Elyse, it looks like you are having a great readathon! I hope you are still reading and keeping those eyes open :)"
Nope! I slept! Almost 7 hours. No regrets, I needed it. lol
I agree, I think sleep is absolutely necessary! Sounds like you had a great readathon! Now time to rest.

Comments:
I slept a normal night's sleep. I needed it and I'm not mad. I *only* physically read for this readathon which is surprising. Juuuuust under 1,000 pages! I went by my actual books' page counts because Goodreads is wrong on 2 of them. So I could have been over 1,000 if I used Goodreads' numbers but I wanted to be honest with myself and 997 is no slouch! Hope everyone had fun! See you in August for the Reverse!
That's a great result! I got about five hours sleep plus a couple of breaks. I should tally up my pages too. The kids kept track as they read, but I wasn't that organised this time. And converting audio to pages is a pain if you don't use the whole book! Maybe I'll have a nap first. lol

Lol, indeed I did. Next year I’ll be on social media less probably as I don’t want to do social media and listen to my audiobook at the same time!
