Readathon: Update 4/Hour Eleven


What? Hour Eleven already? But we just got started!!! 

We got sleepy and had a little nap, read a little more, then took a break to run an errand and eat some lunch. That took the last hour and a half, but I thought I'd update where I'm at anyway. 


What I’m reading now: The Mist by Stephen King

How many page read since last update: 59 (wahoo, huh?)

How many pages read total: 303, wow am I racking them in or what?

Books finished since last update: none

How many minutes/hours read since last update: 1 hour reading, 15 min. napping, 1/2 hour blogging, and 1 1/2 hours break

How many minutes/hours read total: 6 1/2

What the family is reading: JJ is reading The Illiad, Toto finished Calamity Jack and has started Song of the Sparrow (total pages read 298...looks like the race is on!)

What we are listening to: Hmmmm.... I think we'll do an Enya Pandora station for a bit.

What we are eating: We had chicken/avocado mini sandwiches and chips for lunch.

Distractions: sleepiness mostly now, and food again I suppose

Mini Challenges: none since last time

Visits Made: none since last time!

Okay, I'm ready to buckle down now and accomplish something!

  6. You got this!!! :) You are doing awesome!!

    Anyways, I’m Jamie–one of your cheerleaders ready to cheer you on! Sometimes when I was in college and I would be doing marathon paper writing (not that the readthon isn’t fun!!) I would need just a quick stretch and a laugh and for whatever reason laughing babies always did the trick to make me giggle and then get back done to business! Here’s one of my favorites:

  9. Your lunch sounds amazing. I am quite jealous. I enjoyed Song of the Sparrow when I read it, but never finished it. Had to return it to the library before I finished it, even though it was a fairly quick read.
