Hour 3 Pages: 45
Book: Aurora Rising
I am about 80 pages from finishing this book, so hopefully in the next hour I can read super fast.
Good for you to keep reading with the kiddo up and about. This is my first child-free readathon, so I know how distracting it can be when the kids want your attention!
I’m in the UK so start time was 1PM. Also got teenager kids who can look after themselves, haha.
This is my first read-a-thon too! I'm pretty excited about it! I have a couple of books to finish and two books that I would also like to start today.

I am starting to get so tried. I didn't nap today like I was planning to so I will see if I can stay up all night.
It's all about enjoying your reading time, Sarah! I try to stay up the full 24 hours, sometimes I make it sometimes not! I think you're doing great, especially with your first Read-a-thon. Do you think you're hooked and will do more?
@Angieoh yes, this will not be my last. Next time I will just plan better.
