Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: October 2026

👀 I know I keep disappearing; I apologize 😅 I really have no excuse... it's just that I haven't been able to shake the slump off quite all the way. But it's fine because I decided super last minute to do the readathon 😆 I was going to post this this morning, but we had no power sooo 🤷‍♀️😂 Anyway, this readathon started today at 5am (for me), and ends tomorrow, on Sunday, at 5 am. I woke up really late this morning, at like 8am (I'm sick, so I allowed myself to sleep lol), so I didn't start reading till like 9am. But we're here! Lol. (You can find more info on the readathon HERE and on their IG HERE.)

2pm update:
I haven't posted much of anything because I literally haven't read a single book this month so far 😱 I know. But I finally finished the book I started last month! Literally took me a month to read this 😭

I unfortunately did not love this as much as I did The Hacienda, and I think that might have been one of the reasons (aside from the general slump) why I was struggling with it. LOVED the vampire stuff, but it also included one of my most hated tropes, and I just could not get over it: the miscommunication trope 🫠 But anyway, this is what I've been reading all morning and afternoon. I read about 255 pages of this one.
Aside from reading, I honestly haven't been doing much today. I am just starting to get a headache, so I took some medicine because we can't have that during a readathon. Lol. As for what's next, I have some books that I need to take back to the library, so I'm gonna look through there and pick something. And I'll be back later... I don't know when. I've obviously gotten real bad at this blogging thing 😂

3:30pm update:
I'm back sooner than I thought because I ended up reading a manga (about 192 pages). Lol. And I loved it! This one was focused a bit more on Shin and some internal struggles, which I enjoyed because I love him.

Up next is this nonfiction:

I am SO excited to dive into some wackiness! I loved Quackery by these authors, so I've been really looking forward to this one! (Also, no more headache, yay! Am struggling with a bit of congestion and nonstop sneezing, but I'll live 😆)

10:30pm update:
I read 136 pages of Pseudoscience and I'm having so much fun with it! I did take a little micronap during the flat earth theory section 😂 But that's only because I'm sick. Lol. 

Speaking of which, I think I'm gonna call it a night. The bones in my face are starting to hurt from the pressure in my sinuses 😖 But I think I did pretty well today despite this cold! I read a total of 583 pages, which is not bad at all! I have no idea how much I read time-wise because I didn't time myself this time. Didn't have the energy to keep track of that today 😅 But I might keep posting some more reading blogs this week because I have the entirety of it off, so that will be nice. But this was fun! We started off a bit rough with that first book, but the next two books were great!

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