Thoughts I Have During Readathons

Guess what’s starting the minute this post goes live? Indian Lit Readathon! I talked about this readathon in a post here so I won’t bore you to death but it’s basically a 48hr readathon where we read books by Indian authors, and I’m a co-host! So yeah I’m super pumped up to go into reading mode this weekend and our current OTT prompt is in the spirit of Indian Lit Readathon 🙂

OTT PROMPT

THOUGHTS YOU HAVE DURING READATHONS OR READALONGS

~in the spirit of Indian Lit Readathon~

I personally love taking part in readathons whether they are month long, week long, weekend long or 24hrs. I get this thrill from challenging myself and taking part in as many readathons at a time as possible and I even have a thread on twitter to help me keep track of them. So I’m going to be talking about my overall experience of readathons through my thoughts for this post.

THOUGHTS I HAVE DURING READATHONS

• Oh my god a new readathon!!!

• Okay wait this is the fun part – trying to choose a TBR

• I CHOOSE YOU, YOU, YOU AND YOU!

• I CHOOSE ALL OF YOU

• And then I keep some of you back because I can’t read you all…

• I mean this book counts for this prompt right?

• *goes on google and goodreads*

• *emerges 862360 years later*

• *does her best to squish in one book for most of the prompts*

• *ends up adding more books on her TBR*

• Wait, are any of my friends joining? I should make my friends join

• Hi, I shall scream at you until you agree to take part in this readathon with me

• Ooooh, we can buddy-read this book!

• *bounces impatiently until the readathon starts*

• *sleeps through half of the readathon*

• Ohkay so do I read or talk to my fellow readathoners?

• TALKING IT IS

• One book down!

• MUST READ, WEEK IS FOR THE SLEEP

• I’m weak, sleep is for me

• Why must this genre make me want to sleep?

• *juggles between all books and ends up finishing none*

• I’m so tired

• Why do I want to other books this week of all weeks?!

• Must update my progress

• Aww it’s coming to an end! I wish it would last forever

• Or maybe not. I want to read my other books too

• I hate writing wrap-ups ughhhh

• AND NOW ONTO THE NEXT READATHON!
