So I really love 24H readathon’s! (here you try to read as much as possible in 24h) Unfortunately every time these are organised I can’t participate 🙁
Since this weekend we had a long weekend I decided to do my own 24h readathon on last Thursday (May 10th).
So I made a TBR, being aware this is probably not doable but whatever haha
- Batman: nightwalker. Since I still need to read this and it is quite short 🙂
- Charlotte’s web. This one should be easy since it’s a children’s book and really short.
- Giant days vol: 4. (to break up the novels :))
- Take back the skies. I have had this on my TBR for quite a while, have no idea what it is about, but it is not to long and has a big font!
- I would like to make a start on my arc of the oddling prince. I also don’t think this is really long, so maybe if the day goes really well haha
- And lastly, I will start listening to the last ever after. For when I am doing things and can’t physically read.
Let’s just start with saying that I can’t deal without sleep, so don’t expect me to not sleep for 24 hours ..
Okay I have no clue how to make this interesting to read, but I wrote updates every hour, about how far I was etc, so I guess I will just write those down?!
If your not interested in this, I will write a wrap up down below so you could just scroll down to read that!

I’m an overachiever I know.. But I actually thought I had quite a relaxing day!
Really proud of myself for not grabbing for unhealthy snacks all the time, but ate fruit!
Will definitely do another one in the future since I really enjoyed myself!
Come talk to me!
Do you ever do 24h readathons?
What do you think I can do different for such a kind of post? To make it more interesting?
