TWENTY-FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT!!!!!
10 minutes and counting. :DTeresa, you around to start us off?
Post here when y'all start/finish! I'll be around to fill in a LOT of holes. :D Hopefully some more people will join up.
Ok diving in. :) Rylie, I'll see you in an hour? :D
Hi Sorry! I've been reading but forgot to post that I started!!
Yeah Teresa, glad to have ya here tonight!! :D
Yup. Just about to start. :) Let's see if I can get this book finished.
Awesome!! I hope you are able to!!Teresa, I opened up signups, if you want any other times. Just let me know here so I can add you in. I was hoping there'd be a few more people, but we can have fun with the few of us!
Let's read it through ladies!
Ok. I Finished 25% to 34% and two chapters of my book in my 1/2 hour. In the 30 min before I listened to the story on Audio.Is it ok to do Audio instead of reading pages? I have both formats for the book but I can get some crocheting done if I listen :D

Absolutely it's fine. I'm also listening to audio and Rylie is as well. So audio is good! Just as long as you are reading, that's what matters! :D
Teresa wrote: "I can do 5 pm tomorrow and 5:30 pm"Great, I'm adding you now.

What are you crocheting?
Yay Delitealex, you still gonna be around for the 5-7am hours? I might shut my eyes when you're doing yours, cat nap a bit since I'm not headed to bed. :DBobbi, you around for yours in 10 minutes?
Yup! I'll go ahead and take the hour after mine as well if no one else wants it
Bobbi wrote: "Yup!"Woohoo!!
Y'all are kicking off a great start!! :)

Yay! :) I don't sleep well anyways and I've been up since before 6am, so I'll just rest my eyes for an hour and I'll be good for the rest of the day. :D
Finished my book, yay!So, the next 2 hours are taken. What about the 4:00 to 5:00 one?
Oh hey, thanks for pointing that out, guess Bobbi edited her comment as I was asking her about it. LOL!!No one has the 4-5, if you want it Rylie. And awesome on finishing the book!
67-73% almost finished then I can get to my next buddy read.
Yeah I'll take it. That's probably the last one I can do until around 10 or 11 AM eastern. I try to keep some form of a sleep schedule. :D
How about... (8am EST) 12:00p-12:30p :
We are driving out of town in the a.m., so I am not sure that I can do an hour. Can let you know when I begin at 8am EST
Awesome Angie! I'll put you in for the half hour. Just let us know if you can do more! :) Slotting you both in now, and I'm gonna go ahead and take the hour after Delitealex since I haven't taken a time yet. :)

But I have the occasional times when I'll stay up all night for something like this. It's fun. :)
Typically I wouldn't even be tired til around 4am but since I was up before 6, I'm already a little sleepy. I might crash and burn at some point, but if I close my eyes for an hour I should be good for a while. :)

Well - actually, you an put me in the 2nd slot too....I will be listening to an audio book while we drive! :)

Done! :D
I'm working midnights right now and will be listening to books all night like normal. You can put me down for the 4am-5am EST slot at least and I'll post and let you know I'm still listening. Working on some Hercule Poirot right now and their BBC full cast adaptions.

I'm here! Starting my hour. Almost didn't make it. :)

Just finished my 2 hours with 75 pages of Vampire Academy.
I'll pick up some more spots later on if no one else steps up to take them since I will likely be reading anyway. (Tentative 2-3 PM and/or 6-7 PM unless someone else wants them. I'm flexible.)
Yay Bobbi! Sounds great!! :) I enjoyed Vampire Academy when I read it. Didn't care for the spin off though. I'll put you down for the first set, the 2-3 for now, and we'll see how the day goes, and you can change it if you need to. Hopefully we'll have some more people join in! :D
I'm here getting reading to start my 2 hrs
Woohooo!! Go Delitealex, go!!Was gonna close my eyes but got chatting with a friend. Now I might have to wait til after mine. We'll see. :D
My hour went pretty well. Now that I've finished On the Edge, and loved it, I'm reading
for the ATW challenge, Australian author.My hours were a lot more fun when I was reading On the Edge. This book is pretty hard to read. I'm not sure about pages because my version doesn't read them out to me, but I'm on chapter 10 of 28, I think?
By the way, this book doesn't happen to have a dark cover, does it? One can hope...that's the very last book that I have to read in the LRPG.
And yeah, Karsyn, I know what you mean about staying up all night for things. I was a part of Relay for Life for years, and this sort of reminds me of it, though not even close to as serious, obviously. I would be so so tired by the morning, but it was totally worth it.
Also, if no one else takes them, I'll claim the 3:00 to 3:30 PM and 3:30 to 4:00 PM slots.
Glad your hour went well Rylie. Nope, not a dark cover. It's actually yellow/gold with a harp on it. Would have fit well with the strings LRPG if you hadn't done that yet. :DWanna tell me some books you wanna read soon and I can tell you if they are dark? Or I could just tell you a few on your TBR that are dark, if you want me to.
Staying up all night is fun. My Hubby can't even make it past midnight on His days off, but in His defense, He is up early all the time, the latest He's slept in recently was 8. I enjoy the occasional night up, but I'm usually more rested than I am right now.
Hmm, I'd like to either fit it with one of Amanda's books or Renee's. Those are the only 2 mods i have left. I've been doing pretty good at finding books to fit the LRPG and the road to St. P. Even if it's not on my To Read shelf, I can pretty much get any book I want, so if any of their books have dark covers, that would be really helpful to know.I'm terrible at staying up all night. I do really well until about 8 in the morning, and then I get really tired really fast. And, there goes my schedule, because I will always end up falling asleep, no matter how much I want to make it through the day. That's why I don't let myself do it, even if I feel like I could. Cause I can't. Lol.
Here ya go! Amanda Dark Books ~
Renee Dark Books ~ Meh, iffy on them, the most dark she has
It depends on how dark is dark. Amanda's are fine, Renee's has dark and light in them.
I'm good at staying up all night. My bad hours are usually 3-4, or depending on how long I stay up, about an hour or two before I plan on heading to bed. I always find a 2nd wind though. :D

Thank you Karsyn!
If Renee's count, I really want to read Slammed. If not, The Spirit Thief doesn't sound too bad either. :) The other 2 of Amanda's are so...long! I love long books, but not when I'm in the middle of a competitive challenge. :D
One more tiny bit of hope, is
a dark covered book? I was trying to fit that one somewhere, but I just couldn't find a place for it. It already has netted me quite a few coins, but dark cover would be the icing.
The second wind is what I don't have. I have a looong firsst wind, and then it just, dies. Speaking of my wind dying, about another 15 to 20 minutes, and I'm going to make myself go to bed.

I would call it dark -- it's darker than
at least, but I could be wrong.
That cover of Ink & Bone is definitely dark Rylie! The other edition is lighter, but that one is dark blues and reds. I agree with Bobbi, darker than Demon King which is dark but does have some highlights and bright to it. Slammed is mostly dark. It has black on the top. The rest is a brownish curtain that is dark except a spot where there's a spotlight shining on it. So, it could be acceptable, I'd say.
I'm here! Settling in for my hour, starting @ 45% of my audiobook.
