We're just starting hour 11 now. I'm all for a 2 hour sprint myself, but just in case folks are confused (sleep deprivation does make it trickier to keep track after a while)...

No sleep deprivation here, but according to my calendar this is hour 12…

Ive started with my audiobook while making and eating lunch. At the end of the chapter I’m gonna switch to Rose Madder

Usually by this part of a readathon I am blearily counting out the hours on my fingers to figure out where we're at. :)

Susy (susysstories) | 2288 comments But if 8pm was hour 1 than this is hour 12, finishing in half an hour at 8am….

Otherwise hour 1 should have been hour 0, as it was in the beginning, but then it was changed to hour 1 as it lead to a lot of confusion….

Yeah, you're right. Darn. My brain is obviously not into math and logic right now. Sorry.

Susy (susysstories) | 2288 comments Lol, no problem. I only know because I always make a schedule in my calendar the day before and write it out, otherwise 🤯

I finished my book of poems by Yetvushenko, and the sun is coming up now, so hopefully my brain is going to kick in a bit more again soon. :)

Late posting since I went to sleep right after, then showering and hour 16 sprint. However, I finished the last 29 pages of one book
Murder at Wakehurst (Gilded Newport Mysteries #9) by Alyssa Maxwell
then I switched to my eBook I was working on. I was at 85% when I started it during the sprint and got to 92%.
Twilight Illusions / Beyond Twilight (Wings in the Night, #3 & #4) by Maggie Shayne
