24in48 is back and very much needed for me to catch up this year with some reading (already). If you don't know, 24in48 is the challenge and goal to read for 24 hours out of 48 hours. We start at 12:01 AM ET on Saturday, February 6th and run through 11:59PM ET on Sunday, February 7th. There are no prizes this round, it is all for bragging rights.

Let's Talk "the plan"
Here are the books I hope to read in my 24 hours:
I need to read Chapters G- N of The Liar's Dictionary by Eley Williams for book club, that is 83 pagesNeed to finish Legendary by Stephanie Garber, I am currently on Chapter 5 leaving me about 397 pages- I think I will follow up those with The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, 450 pages
and then maybe Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, 462 pages (I also have this in audiobook, so I may go that route if I need to rest my eyes- just keeping it real).- Just in case, I have added in Meet Me in the Strange by Leander Watts as a shorter option in case I need to feel like I have accomplished/ completed a book.
If my reading math is correct that should get me to 24 hours of reading as long as I read as quickly as I normally do. I will be updating this page and my Instagram with updates through the weekend if you want to follow along. I am not going to push it, but I would like try to make the 24 hours.
With that said... I also still need to find time to prep my planner for next week and complete a short presentation for class (eh it will all work itself out right?...riiiight!)
Here we goooooooooooooooooooooo!
Start time: 7:00 am Saturday
Hour/Progress:
Started at 7am and read until about 9am this morning and read my chapters for book club, did a run to the Farmers Market and Home Depot for some stuff. The hubs is working on my planter boxes while I read this weekend.
I got some listening to Six of Crows audiobook done while lounging and added on a few more hours to my total.
As I am updating this it is 9:15ish pm on Saturday and I am on page 300 of Legendary and pushing as long as I can tonight. Currently at 7.5 hours total of reading!
Hour/Progress: 12:02 am
About to head to bed after reading for 9 hours and 36 minutes today. Not the 12 I wanted but still pretty good.
I finished Legendary, started Six of Crows, did my book club reading, and listened to some of Andy’s book about pirates
Not sure I will get to the full #24in48 but I am setting a good pace.
Hour/Progress: 8:30 am Sunday
I am up. I just spent 1.5 hours on homework so that I don't have to deal with it later. I am hoping to get a good amount of reading in today again. Starting on page 68 of Six of Crows this morning and hoping to finish it.
Hour/Progress: 11:45 pm Sunday
Finishing out the night with 18 hours and 21 minutes read in 48.
