It's time for another 24 in 48 Readathon! I know I'm going to get nowhere near 24 hours read this weekend because my Saturday is pretty much already taken up with other plans. But hopefully I can get a good chunk of reading done on Sunday! I'll be updating this post with my progress, as well as sharing updates on Twitter. Hooray for readathon time!

First 24 Hours

Time spent reading: One hour and 8 minutes
Number of pages read: 46
Books read from: Hook & Jill by Andrea Jones;​ The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

​Second 24 Hours

Time spent reading: Three hours and 46 minutes
Number of pages read: 183
Books read from: Hook & Jill by Andrea Jones (ended up DNF'ing this one); Chronicles of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery (Love this one!)

​Readathon Totals

Time spent reading: Four hours and 54 minutes
Number of pages read: 229
Nowhere near 24 hours, but still about as much as I could expect to fit in on a busy weekend with a little one crawling around. It was a lot of fun!

I wasn't going to, but then I decided to sign up for this about an hour ago! I'm not going to do anywhere near 24 hours either, but I figure if I'm having a quiet (well, as quiet as life with toddler can be!) weekend at home, I might as well give it a go! I often don't take advantage of extra reading times on weekends as much as I could, so I'll make a point of it this weekend!

I'm glad you're joining in! I know I'm not getting anywhere close to 24 hours, but the point is to spend time reading - and I'm always looking for an excuse to do that! Hope you had fun and got a lot read! :)

I've gotten 2-3 hours so far...less than I had hoped, but still any time reading, eh? :O)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
