🌷 2025 Spring Equinox 24-hour Readathon

Placeholder post for my goals/ what I’ll be reading:

Readathon Goals :ghost: :books:

I’m going to be taking a 24(!!) hour trip back home on the 20th for the holidays via 2 flights and a very lengthy layover, so this couldn’t be much more perfectly timed. Unfortunately this does mean I won’t be able to update during the actual day very much (depending on Wi-Fi I might be able to update during the layover at least), but at the end I should have a very large amount of reading to report. I’ll need to decide when exactly the 24 hours will start and end, because I’ll probably end up starting while en route to the airport, and thus finish mid-air before I land while I try to sleep. That’ll involve time-zone calculations which I’m too lazy to do right now.

Goals:

  • 150+ novel pages
  • Finish ホリミヤ13
  • Try to finish Spy x Family 1
  • Play a few hours of Pokemon
  • Total time spent ~10 hours+

I’m way further along in my reading journey than I was for the Winter equinox readathon (partially thanks to using it as a springboard forwards into more manga and novels), so I’m planning on completely demolishing last time’s results. Last readathon I hit 72 pages from novels, but if I have nothing else to do and I’m bored on a flight in a semi-awake fugue-like state, I can get far more than that. My daily record is somewhere around 120-pages from a pretty easy novel, so that’s what I’m aiming to beat instead.

Books

Books update:

I have a few main books that I’ll be wanting to get through bits of:

Book name How much?
すべてがFになる The Perfect Insider Finish? At least 100 pages.
秒速5センチメートル Maybe finish if I’m already halfway through. Otherwise 50+ pages.
六人の嘘つきな大学生 Will switch to this if I need a break.
Spy x Family 1 ? (use as a break, no idea how much)
ホリミヤ13 finish (~140 pages left)

I will be playing Pokemon Violet in Japanese as well, like I said, but I don’t know if I’ll track that. I will be tracking time and pages for the novels though, which I haven’t done really since the last readathon - I don’t track time spent reading usually. It’ll be interesting to see the changes!
