Current state of things: Half way through! I'm behind on my goals for the day, but the day is young and the stack of graphic novels is large! I've been keeping up a strong pace with graphic novels and struggling a bit more with standard novels.

Snacks: Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast.

Current state of things: A weak start, but getting better! I definitely didn't get enough sleep last night, and barely read anything in hour 1. But I'm into the swing of things, now! This close to the end of the Animorphs series, every book is pretty intense, so that's keeping me interested.

April 2024 Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon

Happy read-a-thon day!! I have not been feeling well-prepared for this read-a-thon in the past week. I'm behind on sleep, behind on housework, and feeding myself on a day-by-day basis. But, I did manage to go grocery shopping for some read-a-thon goodies on Friday evening, do the dishes, and tidy up my primary reading area, so I guess I'm ready enough!


My book pile is rather large in terms of pages, but the two longest books are graphic novels, so we'll see how it goes! Here's what I've got picked out:

  • Stars in Their Eyes by Jessica Walton and Aśka (210 pages)
  • The Ojja-Wojja by Magdalene Visaggio and Jenn St-Onge (188 pages)
  • Last Pick, Vol. 2: Born to Run by Jason Walz (236 pages)
  • Heartstopper, Vol. 5 by Alice Oseman (318 pages)
  • Skyward, Vol. 1 by Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett (136 pages)
  • Saga, Vol. 11 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (160 pages)
  • The Diversion (Animorphs #49) by K.A. Applegate (164 pages)
  • The Betrayal (The Fear Street Saga #1) by R.L. Stine (161 pages)
  • The Haunted Mask (Goosebumps #11) by R.L. Stine (121 pages)
  • Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers (The Bailey School Kids #12) by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones (76 pages)
  • The Lake and the Library by S.M. Beiko (237 pages)
That's 1248 graphic novel pages and 759 regular novel pages, for a grand total of 2007. Which is crazy. I guess it's more books than usual? But it is a LOT of graphic novels, which obviously helps my total. It just happened that I had a lot of graphic novels out from the library at the moment! Anyway, we'll see how I do! Happy reading, everyone!
