I’m so excited for the read-a-thon tomorrow. I’m writing this about midnight CT. Why so late? I had a fantastic time tonight at an author event featuring Alexander McCall Smith. What a hoot! The man could really be a stand-up comedian. I absolutely loved it. I took some notes and a few pictures so hopefully I can share that with you during the read-a-thon tomorrow.
This will be my 4th read-a-thon. Yes, I’ve participated in all of them so far! I wanted to take a look back on my stats from the previous three times to see how they compare. Last time I had to do a few things during the day so that is why my results weren’t too hot. The reading times I give are pure reading times and don’t include breaks.
- Readathon I: 12 hours, 704 pp.
- Readathon II: 10 hours, 634 pp.
- Readathon III: 9 hours, 470 pp.
On average, it looks like I read about a page a minute. My goal for this readathon is just to beat my previous best of 12 hours, even if it’s 12.25 hours with 710 pages. That will be very difficult to do, but I’m excited to try!
Now I better get some sleep!
