I am going to try and stay up for all 24 hours this time, but I&#8217;ve never made it before and my expectations aren&#8217;t too high. I&#8217;m a person who really enjoys (and needs) her sleep, so we&#8217;ll see how I&#8217;m feeling as the night\/morning goes on. I also always plan time to do the mini-challenges (see below!) and try to take a walk or go outside for some fresh air and human interaction for a little bit. But! Since you&#8217;re here for the updates and challenge entries, I&#8217;ll stop writing my intro now and let you see what you came here for!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#TBR<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As of 1:23 pm on Friday afternoon, I have nine books on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/9062842-kait-goodwin-kait-plus-books?shelf=april-readathon-tbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Readathon TBR shelf<\/a>. It&#8217;s made up of 3 full length novels (<em>Slayer<\/em> by Kiersten White, and <em>The Cruel Prince<\/em> and <em>The Wicked King<\/em> by Holly Black) and 6 graphic novels (the first 4 <em>Babysitter&#8217;s Club<\/em> Graphic Novels, as well as <em>Aquicorn Cove<\/em> and <em>The Tea Dragon Society<\/em> by Katie O&#8217;Neill). Plus, I&#8217;m currently (re)reading\/listening to <em>Furyborn<\/em> by Claire Legrand as I get ready to read <em>Kingsbane<\/em>! And I <em>mayyyy<\/em> have bought myself the ebook\/audiobook of <em>Wicked Saints<\/em> yesterday because it was seriously <strong>SO GOOD<\/strong> that I needed the finished copy immediately; I see a reread of this very soon in my future. Oh! And I have all 9 <em>Ms. Marvel<\/em> graphic novels to read! I almost forgot about those. So basically I have way more than enough books to read!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Books Read<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Book One: <em>Kristy&#8217;s Great Idea<\/em> Graphic Novel by Ann M. Martin and Reina Telgemeier<\/p>\n<p>Book Two: <em>Slayer<\/em> by Kiersten White (well, it&#8217;s more than halfway read as of 1:04 Sunday Morning.)<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>General Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Update One: 10:28 am<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oops. Guess who overslept again? Me. I&#8217;m going to start reading in just a minute, and see how late I can stay up tonight!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Update Two: 10:57 am<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I had planned on starting with a graphic novel, since those are quicker reads, but then I remembered just how much I really want to read <em>Slayer<\/em>, so I started with that instead!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Update Three: 5:49 pm<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Still reading <em>Slayer<\/em>. I&#8217;m listening to the audiobook narration as I&#8217;m reading it, which is definitely a new experience for me! Even when I listen to audiobooks, I usually listen to them separately. I&#8217;m really enjoying the way the story is being told in both forms simultaneously. I just came back from a walk I took with my mom. We walked about a mile, and I won a Pokemon raid! Today I&#8217;m really focusing on enjoying reading and planning on staying up late rather than feeling rushed and like I missed out on the morning (which I did).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Update Four: 10:31 pm<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>About halfway done with <em>Slayer<\/em>. I think I&#8217;m going to take a break soon and read a graphic novel or two so I can feel like I finished books today. Plus I&#8217;ll try and do some mini-challenges now that I&#8217;ve had dinner (at 10pm).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Update Five: 1:06 am<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I finished <em>Kristy&#8217;s Great Idea<\/em> (graphic novel) and I&#8217;m a little more than halfway done with Slayer. I&#8217;m going to try and read another BSC graphic novel before I fall asleep, but&#8230; who knows if that&#8217;s going to happen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Update Six: 1:42 am<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time for bed. I&#8217;m too sleepy to keep reading. I&#8217;ll continue <em>Slayer<\/em> when I wake up, then switch back to <em>Furyborn<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Mini-Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.24hourreadathon.com\/hour-1-welcome-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Getting to Know You Survey:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maine, USA!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Slayer<\/em>!
