I was making good time with The School of Essential Ingredients when I felt myself getting sleepy again. I got up, walked around a little and resumed reading, only to succumb to sleep around 5:30. Then I woke up at 8:15. Yikes... I lost about three hours to an early evening nap.
But I'm back to keep reading. Stats so far:
Pages read: 413
Books completed: 2
Breaks taken: 6
Who would have known this read-a-thon would take so much out of me? I did get 7 hours of sleep last night so I shouldn't be this tired. My goal is to finish The School of Essential Ingredients and get a few hundred pages into a fourth book. Once again, I wish I had a graphic novel to break things up.
It happens! No worries! I got up in time to start reading this morning, but realized it would not go well if I didn't get more sleep. So I did. :)
ReplyDeletejust keep going! :)
I couldn't believe how tired I was too! I mean you wouldn't think reading would be exhausting, but man. I was hoping to take a 20 min nap and slept for an hour and a half. Oh well, you're still 2 full books in and that's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're doing good. BTW- I hated The School for Essential Ingredients, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how you feel about that one. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI think naps are essential for readathoning! Enjoy the rest of your readathon and keep up the great work. You are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSleep is important, too! Hope you've been having a great read-a-thon!
