Kate (kathrynlouwca) It's hour eight and we are going to do the second of six sprints! Use the next 60 minutes to read as much as you can. Block out all distractions and just read. Share here what you read, how many pages, and how you're feeling at the end of the hour! READY, SET, GO!

Kate (kathrynlouwca) Opening this early since I always seem to forget to unlock these reading sprints.

febriani (caffechaine) | 17 comments I read 50 pages of Perempuan Pala by Azhari and Laluba by Nukila Amal. Both are in Indonesian. Started to get drowsy. I will make a cup of coffee and refill my water containers.

Elizabeth | 316 comments This was the first time I've participated in a reading sprint. I read Through the Woods by Emily Carroll and some of Dear Madam President An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World by Jennifer Palmieri for a total of 228 pages. It feels good to have done some focused reading.

Fiona | 5 comments @nycbookhoarder- So far, I've fed the little monsters twice, walked the dog, bought birthday presents (because the monsters don't earn any money to buy their own) and,oh yeah, read 160 pages of Dread Nation. Here's to no more interruptions!

Jules Q (phreneticmind) For Hour 8, I stayed deep in the audiobook of PACHINKO. It's a good one!

Pages this Hour: 25 hmm... why so slow?
