Here’s another mini-challenge: create a top 10 list that has something to do with the readathon.

Top 10 Tips for Managing a 24-hour read:

1. Get a good sleep the night before.
2. Warn housemates that you will not be doing anything but reading.
3. Find an audiobook for those times when you can’t read (walking the dog, loading the dishwasher, folding laundry that you didn’t get done the day before, prepping snacks.)
4. Cozy pants.
5. No bra.
6. Diet coke to drink in place of the martinis you might otherwise consume.
7. Leftovers.
8. Make exceptions to dietary norms: frozen meatballs, cooked shrimp, premade guacamole, trail mix, diet coke (see above)
9. Stay off social media. Except when you don’t.
10. Hydrate, mainly with water.
