Day 4 Date: 25 March, Sunday

Time: 8:30 to 8:40pm, 11:30pm to 12:10am

Book: The Hobbit by Tolkien

Wasn't able to read all day and was worried I couldn't clock in my session for the day, so I took my Kindle with me into the bathroom instead of my phone, and for a bit of reading done. Then after the baby slept was able to read for a longer session. Started in the part where they get pulled into the goblin cave, Bilbo meets Gollum, then read up to where Beorn is sending them off into Mirkwood.

I read somewhere on r/books that if you aim to read daily, the key to not feeling burned out is to stop at about an hour per book. Something like pacing yourself, it's a fun run, not a sprint or race, don't tire yourself out too early. So I will keep that in mind, so I can stick to this reading challenge until the end of the month.
