2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Read for another 2h09 (The Subtle Knife). Now time to get some dinner (throwing a pizza in the oven quickly so I can get back to reading lol).

Total Reading Time: 25h36

I read another 2.5 hours around and while having a wonderful hot bath. I finished Mein Leben als Leser=The Polysyllabic Spree but still concentrated mostly on To Win Her Heart - I hope very much I'll finish it before midnight but it looks less and less likely - I'm just reading too slow/started too late.
My current total is now 37 hours and already more than I was hoping for. Even if I sighned up to 24 hours I was hoping for 36 since 48 appeared too unrealistic :-)

I've read for 2 more hours and finished another book: Harry Potter: A History of Magic.
Nearly there! Although, I do need a brief break now to charge my Kindle.

Total Reading Time = 11.25 hours

I managed to read 30 minutes of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind during this time slot

Total 3h 30min.

That's how I read anyway. I usually have 4-6 books going at one time (audio for me, audio for me+kid, read-aloud for me+kid, physical book or 2, ebook or 2).
It definitely makes it easier to stay motivated. If I get to a part in a book that's dragging, or if I just need a change of scenery, I can change books without taking a break from reading.
