Read-A-Thon: Hour 6

 

We’re just beginning hour 6 of the read-a-thon, and things have been going pretty well, other than hour 4.  Our computer was having trouble printing and my husband needed to get some work done, so I spent about 40 minutes playing with it until I was able to fix it.  My husband has stepped out to get some lunch for us so I can keep reading!

Your tweets got me sort of excited about this, but decided I couldn't do it.

I also generally read at least 2 books at once, and I think I'd do that for the Read-A-Thon too. In fact, when I curl up on the couch, I usually bring 2 books with me.

Esme said...

I'm incredibly in awe of your reading speed - you're my new hero! I'm thinking I should blog and mini-challenge less so I can do some actual reading.

Jeez o Pete! Over 1000 pages read? How is that humanely possible? After 7 hours, I have about 70 pages read. Too much time blogging, plus I'm a slow reader. I can't stay focused. Just call me ADHD! Have fun!

Karen said...

Wow, you are so far ahead of me. i am impressed and envious.
