261 pages? Fantastic!
You're doing great! Mockingjay is perfect for the read-a-thon!
Yes, that is fabulous. I've only read 100 now... but that means I finally finished my 1000 page book that I've been working on for a month! :)
You did 261 pages in less than 4 hours of reading? I am in awe!
I am not in the readathon this year, but wanted to say - I sympathize! Don't lose heart, about 6 or 7 hours I got REALLY tired - sort of that point in the day, where my brain said 'wait a second, this isn't my normal rhythm, why am I reading so much without stopping?" :) It's not a sign of doom or anything - I hit good long wind an hour or two later, and then coasted into the middle of the night, so, hang in there! :)
i don't know if this works for you, but two things I wish I'd tried last time:
1) Go read for a while while taking a walk. Around the living room doesn't count, it doesn't fool your brain enough :)
2) Get an audio book and listen to it for a while, to sort of rest your eyes. If you don't have one, there are some good free ones at librivox.org - I recommend the 'Silas Marner' one, because I love the reader for it :)
Anyway, that's probably no help at all, but HANG IN THERE :).
I'm so jealous of all you readers! 261 pages is huge! Exclamation points!
Take a little break, have a snack, it's not about reading every single moment, but about treating yourself to a day of reading.
You're doing great! Take a small break from Mockingjay if you feel the need to. Cheering you on!
