I read another 2.5 hours around and while having a wonderful hot bath. I finished Mein Leben als Leser=The Polysyllabic Spree but still concentrated mostly on To Win Her Heart - I hope very much I'll finish it before midnight but it looks less and less likely - I'm just reading too slow/started too late.My current total is now 37 hours and already more than I was hoping for. Even if I sighned up to 24 hours I was hoping for 36 since 48 appeared too unrealistic :-)
I've read for 2 more hours and finished another book: Harry Potter: A History of Magic.Nearly there! Although, I do need a brief break now to charge my Kindle.
Total Reading Time = 11.25 hours
I managed to read 30 minutes of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind during this time slotTotal 3h 30min.

Wow, there are some really impressive reading times here!Kristin, you are doing an amazing job keeping track of all this! Thanks for the hard work and encouragement!
Still reading Happiness. I'm reading slowly, savoring the prose and the story. 2.25 hours in this block, for a total of 9.75 hours.
Coming back to Froi of the Exiles. I’m on a roll here, let’s see if I can reach my goal of 16 hours!Completed 1 hour, a total of 13.5 hours.
Read 45 minutes of
Cugel's Saga by Jack Vance and 45 minutes of
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Completed 1.5 hour, a total of 13.0 hours.
Got in another two hours with Middlesex. I'm going to switch to a physical book now for the rest of the evening. Total 7.5.
Kristin wrote: "How did you like mixing it up? Did it make it easier or harder to stay motivated?"That's how I read anyway. I usually have 4-6 books going at one time (audio for me, audio for me+kid, read-aloud for me+kid, physical book or 2, ebook or 2).
It definitely makes it easier to stay motivated. If I get to a part in a book that's dragging, or if I just need a change of scenery, I can change books without taking a break from reading.
