I’m eagerly anticipating starting tomorrow too, especially after reading through everyone’s updates so far! Today is my day to go out gathering snacks, so I’m (hungrily) eying what everyone else is having! Good luck everyone, and I’m looking forward to joining you!
I finished volume one of Rayearth! My brain is COOKED. 202 pages at 2hrs 27min! I will now go chill and pack for tomorrow and start volume 2 in a few hours.
第ー Update
My Readathon Goals ・ Local Time: 10:20am 
Time Left: 23.5 hours
It’s a densely overcast and chilly day outside, perfect for getting cozy under the electric blanket and reading 
all according to keikaku
I was already nearly at the end of Death Note 1, so I started my morning by reading the final 27 pages – what a wild ride!! I haven’t seen the anime in forever and I’ve never read the manga in English, so both the story and the artistic details have been a great experience.
My plan is to start with the volumes I’ve already read a bit from and just finish those out. My readathon goals are in volumes completed rather than pages (and specific volumes, at that, so not just random things) and I want to get going 
Next will be Naruto vol. 14, which I’m already about 25% through! Maybe a snack, too…
+00:20:00, 27 pages
My total: 00:20:00, 27 pages
hope you had apple snacks with this one 
speechless… you and @Daisoujou alone beating the chara count goal from winter last year 
i’ll just see myself out
LIKE, ARE YOU KIDDING!!! 
meanwhile i’m like: flips one page after 47 minutes
i am not immune to propaganda
now that i’ve seen this i’m almost definitely getting some pizza today
Yes this’ll be me tomorrow - can I join the slow turtle club? 
I am with you… 
47 minutes to flip a page is exactly the speed I will be bringing tomorrow.
I can’t wait!!! I am so excited!!! 
I am going shopping for Snacks now, and then will head to bed, to be well rested for tomorrow!!! 
Beautiful picture! I have two boxes of Cheez-its. At least one will go campimg with me, it looks like.
Good reading!
Yeah, I’m not starting till Monday (Sunday, for some people) but I feel I’ll be the last over the line. Everyone’s efforts are fantastic!
I hope you got in some good sleeping!!!
I am just waking up from early this morning. I was so tired and I have to stop early tonight. That is really going to mess up my reading time, uness I take a couple of hours tomoorrow to make up for excessive slepp. Is that allowable?
best club!!!
camping cheese-its… 
the only thing better are flavor blasted extra cheese goldfish camping crackers… 
nap ray is strong… I have finally found out that soggy is the one pulling the trigger… LOL
there is no thing as excessive sleep soooo… then the question of allowable is not applicable 
Update 4
Looks like my estimate of 8-12 hours to hit my goal was pretty accurate, though it might come at the longer tail of this range: I’m thinking ~11 hours now to get there
Just took the last break before the target, and see you on the other side of 逆転連鎖の街角!
obligatory, bootleg lalabubu chocolate xddddd
8 hours, 19 minutes, 23 seconds, resuming the count!
第二 Update
My Readathon Goals ・ Local Time: 12:00pm 
Time Left: 22.5 hours
Finished volume 14 of Naruto after a little bit of pasta. This volume was somewhat of a tearjerker unexpectedly, so I was not paying attention to the page count and it made me so mad when the volume ended
My next book is とんがり帽子のアトリエ vol. 5, which I’m at about 5% read. Atelier will be the last volume of my partially-started manga, and afterward I’ll be pivoting into my list of brand new series 
+00:50:00, 120 pages
My total: 01:10:00, 147 pages
took an actual nap… dangerous during readathon…but im back awake … time to read again
Session 3
I should have said (or photographed) - my midday snack was dark chocolate covered coconut and this evening I had crisps - nice posh ones fried in olive oil 
I’m enjoying everyone’s updates and cheering 
This evening I sat down with Harta again to read another one-shot. I’m pretty slow at reading manga compared to prose, but I like taking my time with the art and something about it leads me to more rabbit holes with lookups. And since I’ve always read more prose, I just find it easy easier to parse.
So, plan is to sleep now and do one more session in the morning before breakfast since I have until 10 am
Summary session 3:
- 50 minutes, 32 pages of 影と愛の挨拶 from ハルタ (#81)
- 1 minute, 1 page of the Desert Survival club adventure
every little counts
Total so far: 3 hours 8 min - 57 pages and 5800 characters from 4 sources: Harta 81, KKLC-GRS sets 6-7, ゴン狐 (Aozora), Desert Survival club
Midnightblue’s Home post
みんな、久しぶりだね。 
It’s nice to see so many familiar faces as well as all new participants.
This is a quickly thrown together home post since I’ll dive right into my Readathon in a couple of minutes.
My plan is to begin my Readathon at 22:00 on Saturday and finish on the same time on Sunday December 21.
Goals
I’ll focus on filling some spaces of my book bingo card and for that I set the goal on finishing the following manga volumes:
ゆうやけトリップ１
フールナイト 1
神様ごはん-小料理 高天原にようこそ- 1
In case I finish those 3 too early I have another option in mind that I can start reading (again) but I don’t know how far I’ll get.
I haven’t read any posts so far but I’ll catch up on those during my reading breaks tomorrow. At any rate, I hope that everyone who’s participated and anyone who will participate had/will have a good time. Happy reading! 
Finished my Readathon contribution! Unfortunately I had much less time at hand than anticipated, and so I only read for 2:50 h during which I read 53 pages of https://learnnatively.com/book/02feed1f41/.
Good luck and lots of fun to those who are currently reading or waiting for their time!
You all are so amazing!! Keep going wonderful people 
Im getting a bit FOMO for having to wait until Monday
