Last weekend it was time for another fun readathon – #8intwo, hosted by @25infive! They started with a readathon where you aimed to read for a total of 25 hours in five days. This time it was a so-called “mini” readathon where you tried to read for a total of eight hours in two days!

Somehow I always manage to make last minute plans in these weekends which prevent me from reading as much as I’d like to. Or the weather isn’t good enough etc. Anyhow! I’ve managed to read for a total of 4 hours during the weekend. So, in a way, I have actually done better than the last time! Nevertheless, this readathon is not about having to reach 8 hours of reading over the weekend. To me, it’s about challenging myself to put my phone away, to stop staring into the void and just read. Because all the time I’m wasting away on my phone, I actually want to spend reading!

I read a couple of Lovecraft stories and also finished Chasing the Dime by Michael Connelly, of which you can expect a review later this week!

Did you join #8intwo this time? How many hours have you managed to read? Will you join next time?
