24 Hour Read-a-thon update 6 - finality/fatality

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and encouragement. After my last post, I quickly fell asleep and didn't realise it, so I'm not sure how many pages I'd read. I woke up just in time to get to work (a 45 minute walk there and the same back) and I got back at around 8:30, where I crashed out and slept for another 2 hours. I think I'm done  for today so I'm gonna punch out. If I get time/energy to read more I shall do (since the story is really good and I am enjoying it a lot). So a massive thank you to everyone for their support (I will repay your kindness!) and here's what I've learned ready for the next read a thon:

  • I need to ensure that there's nothing going on during that day to distract me
  • I need to lock myself away somewhere comfortable (there was a fair amount of noise where I am to distract me :P)
  • Shorter books, or have a few books on the go (maybe throw in some graphic novels for 'break reading')
  • Maybe start a few hours earlier (damn you time differences!) to make up for the sleepyness.
I absolutely loved being a part of this, and I can't wait until the next read a thon! For now though, I'll still be doing the A-Z blogging challenge, so keep checking back ;)
