Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: October 2025

It's time for another readathon! I keep doing these readathons in hopes of getting me out of this never-ending reading slump, but so far, no luck 😩 Anyway, this readathon starts tomorrow at 5am (for me), and ends on Sunday at 5 am. Idk if I'll wake up early for the readathon. I might, but I'm not sure yet. But I'll tell you now that I am not going to be staying up through the night for it. Lol. (You can find more info on the readathon HERE and on their IG HERE.)
There is also a bingo card, which I am very excited about! I already know I won't get a blackout, but I am going to try and do as many of these prompts as I can.

The TBR:
Okay, this is embarrassing, but I only have two books that I NEED to read for the readathon, and they are books that I had listed at the LAST readathon 🫣😂

I have a ton of other books on my immediate tbr, but these two are the priority.

7:30am update:
Okay, so I started later than I wanted 😅 I swear I put on an alarm for 5am, and yet I don't remember it waking me up or me turning it off 😂 And this is exactly why I have more than one alarm set for work. Lol. But anyway, I read quite a bit yesterday, so I started the bingo board then. Today I am starting off 6% into If Looks Could Kill and I am really enjoying it so far! I was not expecting to have a Medusa (it's not THE Medusa, but a girl who has her powers) vs Jack the Ripper moment so soon, but it happened and it was very interesting!

12:30pm update:
Okay, so here is what happened this morning: I woke up, read for about an hour, and then I fell back asleep and didn't wake up till like 10am 🤦‍♀️😂 Then I got up and took a shower and I sat down to read some more. I just took a lunch break and I am about to get back into reading, but man, this is not a good start 😅 Which I expected, tbh 😂

 

Anyway, I'm 27% into the book, I've only read about 1 hour and 38 minutes so far today 😅 But I did make myself my favorite tea (s'mores chai latte) in my favorite EqualiTEA mug 😆 I also pulled out my mug warmer to keep my drink warm as I read. AND I got a bingo!

6pm update:
Erm, so I got distracted by YouTube and haven't been reading as much as I was hoping 😅 However, I am 59% into my book, and I am planning on finishing it today... hopefully. Lol. I've read about 4 hours and 10 minutes so far today... which is terrible. Lol. It's fine, though, because I'm about to go convince my brothers to go watch a horror movie with me, so it's only going to get worse 😆 (Also, no change on the bingo card.)

10pm update:
I finished a book!! And I've only been reading for 7 hours 😅 I'm going to be starting my second book even though it's pretty late. However, I did wake up late and I am not tired at all so far, so I'll see how long I can read for. Ideally, I would like to finish She Waits For You Beyond The Dark as well and then maybe read a manga to knock out a couple more prompts in the bingo card, but idk. Seems like a lot. Lol. But we'll see!

Speaking of the bingo card, I've crossed off a couple more squares! So close to getting more bingos! Oh! And I mentioned going to the movies earlier! We decided to push that to tomorrow, which works out perfectly for me 😆

12:30am update:
Okay, I think I'm done for the night 😪 I cannot stop yawning. Lol. Oh! Did I mention that my iron levels are in the green now? Super exciting! So even though I'm not anemic anymore, I still am pretty tired these days. My sleeping schedule has not what it used to be, and it's making me kinda crazy. Lol. Anyway, I'm rambling. Lol. I ended up reading just over 25% of my current book, and I read for a total of 9 hours this readathon and about 481 pages overall. Probably one of my worst ones yet 😆 But it's fine because I managed to read the two books I needed to! My plan is to finish my current read tomorrow- err, later today. Lol.

 

No change on the bingo card, but I did manage to get ONE bingo, so I call that a win. Lol.

Let me know if you're joining in on this readathon and what you'll be reading!
