I feel like I live off it too. I'm try to limit it until it gets later (so I can stay up) it's only a bit after noon for me...lol
Beds are great places to be for readathons, aren't they? And I live off caffeine so I could not imagine doing this without! Loving all the fresh, healthy snacks you've been munching on!

I've been drinking coffee since the start of the readathon. I was hoping to re-enter it later so it can help me stay up. I don't know how healthy my next cycle of snacks will look...pizza is in the oven...lol :-)
Vero wrote: "The Tomi Adeyemi series looks cool! How is it going for you so far?"I honestly love these books. I'm switching up for a few novellas here and there so I can get my book read number up...but my main focus is Tomi Adeyemi's book! I've save this book as I didn't want the series to end (it's only a 2 book series).

First of all your organization is amazing and I'm for sure borrowing your ideas for next time. Secondly, I like the idea of a social hour. Thirdly, Children of Blood and Bone was amazing and I haven't yet gotten around to the second in the series, but I can't wait!

Thanks so much! I love the planning and organizing almost as much as the reading. Plus I don't want to have to scramble with choices I gave myself LOTS of options. So far the 2nd book is the series is going so well. :-)

Thanks, HAPPY READING!! :-)
Nice job so far! :)
So are sleeping/napping apart of your readathon plans or are you pulling an all- nighter???
Lena wrote: "So are sleeping/napping apart of your readathon plans or are you pulling an all- nighter???"I took a 2 hour nap and enjoyed it. Ate too much and suddenly got tired. I haven't gone back to physical reading still since though but should soon, but it made my mind kind of "sedated"

So I have a time period slotted for sleep although I was trying to push it out possibly? I'm struggling. I have tea and I'm planning another coffee to see if I perk up...lol
I was wide awake and then crashed when physical reading after eating, not sure what happened. I know I couldn't have gone on without a nap though, but it was during that awkward time period where bright day turned to night due to the oncoming time change, so it really threw me off lol

I've been snacking a bit heavier than initial but not too much. I think I shouldn't have take the caffeine break. I'm loading up now.
That moment you figure out your favorite series is continuing...

You go girl, you did that. Just want you to know that I was heavily inspired by you and hope to grow into your organizational skills for the next one. So if you see that I've completely ripped you off, just remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😂
Lynnette wrote: "You go girl, you did that. Just want you to know that I was heavily inspired by you and hope to grow into your organizational skills for the next one.
