Readathon: Final Update/Hour Seventeen


What I’m reading now: Just finished, finally, The Mist. Sheesh, that took me long enough! I may read a couple chapters in Bleak House now.

How many page read since last update: only 170

How many pages read total: 473

Books finished since last update: one .... yes!

How many minutes/hours read since last update: so here's where I began to lose track, I read very sporadically, but probably about 3 hours of the last five

How many minutes/hours read total: 9 and a half or so?

What the family is reading: Toto is concentrating on 39 Clues and has lasted pretty good with me. JJ had friends come over to watch Prison Break

What we are listening to: yeah, Prison Break!

What we are eating: I'm about ready to have some ice cream for dinner! What? Yes, you heard me!

Distractions: let's see, an hour trip to get a kid from his friends, Prison Break going on in the background, various other family activities, blogging, random inability to focus!

Mini Challenges: we loved the word scramble challenge

Visits Made: oh please, none! I think I'll go visit now for a bit, and then read for a bit more, but this will be my last update!

It's been fun. Even though I'm pretty lousy at staying focused and really reading long and hard, I have a blast trying and just playing along.

The rest of you that last through the whole thing, you are fabulous! I'll probably last a couple more hours (it's just now 10:00 p.m. here) and then I'm sleeping.

  3. Way to go! I am trying to go until I drop--maybe make it to 1 or 2--(we were supposed to start at 5 am)--but crying at the end of Harry Potter this afternoon has given me a headache and achy eyes which is not helping matters!

    Here's to another fun event!
