Overall Thoughts

This is probably my most successful readathon as far as completing books goes. I focused about 95% on audio books, which is what I do outside the readathon as well (I need a new prescription and my eyes tire very quickly, so traditional reading is rough right now).

Snack-wise, I stuck with my healthier snack options and didn’t really eat a lot of treats (though I did have a few).

I struggled a bit the last couple of hours, but successfully stayed up and read for all 24 hours.
