Update 6
And…that’s a wrap! If I did my math correctly, I made it to SIX hours! I’ll add up my totals later since I have to run now.
Time: 40m
Pages: 23
Well, I read 70 pages of コナン in 2 hours, 35 minutes this morning. I still have 1 more chapter left in the volume, but I need to take a break for a walk and lunch…
Bidoof’s Update #4
Book Swap cancelled, it was supposed to be outdoors and it started raining today, I still managed to say hi to some people, so not that bad ^^
I finally, for the first time ever, read to the end of Day #3 in F/SN - thought I hit a bad ending, but no, it looks like the story continues to day #4!
7 hours, 2 minutes
Time to grab something dinner-adjacent and cycle back home ^^
I was near the end of a case in 名探偵コナン 28, so I decided I’d finish that one up next.
This series always takes a long time to make progress in, especially in the case-ending chapters due to all the dialogue…
After that, it was time for something extra easy with 幼なじみが強敵です。（１）:
Following all the dictionary lookups in the text dumps that are Conan, it’s refreshing to read something with fewer words in larger text with more whitespace around it, and barely any dictionary lookups.
I’m up to 46.4% of the way through my year’s reading goal. I’m hoping to reach 47.0% by tonight, but I’ll take a shopping break for now.
Second update, two more chapters down! From 68.5% to 76.9%, for another 15,533 characters (~31 pages) in 1h40m. Now for a break for dinner.
Current running total:
- 30,802 characters (~63 pages)
- 3h25m
finished vol2 of one of the manga bingo books 
only a 3rd vol needed for that square
have eaten a whole box of pocky…
yikes that was too easy to munch and read! 
little break time and then decide what to read next
Starting now! 
Start time: June 20th 21:15 local time
Book: 本好きの下剋上 ハンネローレの貴族院五年生3 L32 (367 pages)
Me who usually reads book every day hasn’t been reading since 2weeks ago because sudden online game addiction, lmao. (Not so sudden) Readathon is going to be fun! Wish me luck. Good luck to everyone as well, have fun!
I read I think about 45 mins of かがみの孤城 which was a nice change of pace from previous read.
But then I got a bit side tracked by a food festival in london so… lots of snacks. Lots of walking that maybe (probably not) counteracted the eating. Highlight was probably some ebi tempura. Nom nom. 
Maybe just a little more reading when I get home. I have some of those chocolate filled panda whatever they’re called for an energy boost. After you know my really difficult afternoon of eating.
I’m back after my break and now that the weather feels a little cooler I’m going to try and finish another chapter and a half of ちいさな森のオオカミちゃん before finishing up for the night.
So… I’m a little late to the party.
I read this post when it was first posted, but wasn’t too sure I would do anything. Well, I’ve decided to participate.
My reading time will be tomorrow, the first day of summer, all day. I will keep track of my hours; I don’t think I can do pages or characters. Well, maybe I can do pages.
I don’t have a huge goal. I just want to read more since I’ve learned more vocabulary and studied some more grammar.
My reading material will be the first volume of Beyblade Burst manga. I want to re-read it with my increased knowledge. If I have any leftover time, I will read some of the JCB Bible.
I will post my results either tomorrow night or Monday morning.
Also, to all those who have already read so much, you’re awesome!
you’re just in time 
You can add time + pages, the idea is to track reading volume with characters or pages, so no need to do both. And you can estimate
Have fun!
Go go go Saturday readers!! (Or Sunday, depending on timezones 
)
Can’t wait to add up all those totals and see how we do 
Finished 名探偵コナン 25!
Agreed! And that’s especially true when Hattori Heiji shows up, thanks to the Kansai-ben!
In any case, I have now completed the 3 half-finished manga volumes I wanted to get through, plus I went for a walk, ate lunch, and then took a nice 30 minute cat-nap. I still have about 2 1/2 hours of my time left, so now I need to decide what to start…
I’m trying to get my final resultse in to no avail, probably my new equipment
Final results were 6 hours and 25 minutes and 31 pages from 3 sources.
Reading update #3
I finished volume 5 of ホテル・メッツァペウラへようこそ around an hour ago but wanted to continue for a little longer.
Some days ago, I did think about what to read in case I’d be finished early and I’d still have time and energy left which is why I left volume 1 of イケメン女と箱入り娘 on standby and began reading it. Seems I’ll fit into this Readathon’s Yuri corner just fine, @pocketcalamity . 
I’m now stopping at 55-ish percent of that volume since it’s getting late and my body and mind are tired. Even though I’d probably have a little bit of time left tomorrow morning I don’t plan on reading more, so I declare my Readathon as finished.
I’ll post my results tomorrow and will spend some time reading your updates now before going to sleep.
I added you!
After a break, it’s back to reading.
I’ve made no progress reading 葬送のフリーレン ４ in forever, but I do want to finish the volume by the end of the year. Being only 20% of the way into the volume, it was a good next pick.
I was barely a quarter of the way through ケサランなにがしとスープ屋さん 1巻, so I got to it next. I don’t plan to continue the series, but would like to finish up the volume this year.
Since I’m at my computer, where dictionary lookups are easy, I took the opportunity to read another manga without furigana, キラキラとギラギラ ４:
And then off to another book club read I fell behind on, but want to at least finish the volume for, ニコラのおゆるり魔界紀行 1巻:
Goal progress:
Still want to reach 47% by tonight.
And indeed, he shows up for the mermaid case I was finishing up in volume 28!
I’m about due for one of those.
Update
I managed to read for 5 hours and 15 minutes from late afternoon until late evening. Every now and then I paused and did an errand to get some movement in.
I will settle down for the night and continue sunday morning. It feels a bit strange to have the night in between, but oh well. It is what it is.
I ate dinner in between as well. I forgot that I had left over sweet potato noodles from yesterday and wasn’t prepared for them. In the end I paired them with a Cordon Bleu, two eggs and a spicy self-made tomato sauce. A really strange combination, but it was actually quite tasty.
mitrac’s home post
And I’ve started! The posts have been so motivating and this readathon is breaking me out of a weeks long reading slump. I went for something digital because I’m moving and… I’m not sure where most of my belongings are 
aside from… gestures broadly … in boxes
These will be meager updates 
Update 1:
- Frieren
Volume 9 (which according to Natively I apparently haven’t read in 4 months 
): 2 pages 10 minutes
Then I took a break to eat dinner and move a fridge.
SO is watching the German world cup game so there’s time for more -
- Frieren 9: 12 pages 35 minutes. Yay, getting back into it faster than I thought!
Goodnight from me and see you all in the morning for more
