Guys, you’re halfway there!! (Okay, the official timeclock is halfway there.)
You’ve totally got it under control. But, ya know, Sunday is notoriously harder than Saturday on the readathon calendar, deceptively so. You think you know what you’ve got left, you probably got a lot of reading done, and you’re feeling confident. But Sunday is the day when responsibilities that were neglected creep back in, the lethargy from sitting and reading can spell unexpected naps, and you might have trouble getting into that next book because you’ve had a good run so far. So give yourself permission right now to go to bed if you need to, take a break, get some sleep, and start fresh tomorrow.
If you’re a night owl or if you’re not based on the east coast of the US (which is probably most of you), I’ve got another challenge for you. In the comments, leave a photo (or a comment) of your snacks or your stack of books for this readathon weekend. I want to see what’s on your TBR and your TBE (that’s To Be Eaten, obvi). Mostly I want to live vicariously through all of your yummy food and your pretty, pretty stacks. You’ve got until Hour 30 to enter (that’s six hours from now).
Oh, but before you go, the winners of the Hour Zero Intro Challenge are:

I am trying really hard not to snack much as I need to lose weight but it is hot so I have had a few otter pops and a couple homemade snow cones to keep cool today. Just had an Italian BMT from Subway for dinner. Drinking lots of iced tea!!
The stacks: I am currently reading The Rules and listening to the Iron Trial. I think I will be starting Ice like Fire on my Kindle in bed tonight. Saving my graphic novel for tomorrow.
