OK.. For a person that is working in go back to read, this was the best option, I forced myself to read in a 24 hours Read-A-Thon. I was afraid, I had no clue of what I have to do while the hours are going, I did mistakes and at the end, I learned how fun and productive they are.
My first mistake was begin a day early, I misunderstood that it was Friday at midnight and not the beginning of Friday at midnight.. for that reason, I can say that I did 48 hours Read-A-Thon.
My original list of books was with extra two books (one was almost in the last 25 pages) and the other was a half book, they were finish the first night, so they are not counted.
The day before i waited almost all day for midnight, so you can imagine how silly was that, so when then I notice at 8pm that I was in the wrong day, I rush to bed to wake up at midnight and begin in the right day (I was not able to sleep until 11:30), so when my alarm woke me up at midnight... I was already with almost 24 hours over my head and not coordinating so good.
So here the new order for the books:
The Read-A-Thon had some series of challenges that you can complete in some specific hours. I was not able to complete all of them, but I did some:
The first one was the list or To Be Read list, that It is the same that you have at the top.
Next challenge was to create a rainbow... I was so sleepy that I was not able to find the right colors.
Hour 8: Make a poem using book titles
17 Hours challenge: Create a Book Tower
And this is the way that you combine E-Books and physical books in a tower :)
At 9:30 pm, I decided to get help again from my survival kit to stay awake. More black tea and my determination to accomplish a 24 hours Read-A-Thon
One of my Kindles got out of battery, so I decided to begin one of the physical books that I have while my batteries were charging.. Big surprise, when I went to add the book to my Gooreads page, it said that the book has 592 pages, when the copy that I had in my hands only 202.
Here is the recount of my 24 hrs Read-A-Thon
Time Read: 23 hours
Total Pages Read: 543
Books Read: 1
Challenges Completed: 4
