Are we really half way there? Wow.
What I'm reading now: The Seer of Shadows by Avi... I think. I'm going to start and see if it grabs me or not.
Did I finish anything since last update: Yes! I finished The Amaranth Enchantment! Fun story.
How many pages read since last update: about 110
How many pages total: 530 total
How many hours/minutes read since last update: It's been 3 hours, but I've probably only read half that time what with lunch, the computer and the nap.
How many hours/minutes total: Ummm... starting to lose track of this number. Maybe 7 or so.
What the family is reading: JJ is loving Along for the Ride and doesn't want it to end. She has 50 or so pages left. (She is taking a break now to watch Heroes.) Toto is only a few pages from finishing The Lightning Thief.
What we are listening to: Got sick of New Age and switched to classical for a bit.
What we are eating: Had grilled ham and cheese for lunch. Pondering ice cream now.
Distractions: Tiredness is the main distraction now, and Moder who is being bored at all this reading going on, and doesn't really want to join in full force.
Challenges: Did a couple more challenges a bit ago and posted pictures.
Sounds like you are all doing well! Great job!
