24 Hour Read-a-Thon - Update #1




3.5 hours into the read-a-thon and this is how I've spent my time:



  • I've completed (1) book: Gift from the Sea (138 pages)
  • Started a 2nd Book: The Haunting of Hill House
  • Had 2 cups of coffee and oatmeal
  • Spent 10 minutes on the phone (I do have to leave the house for the hospital this afternoon, but I will take my IPOD and listen to an audio book while I'm gone.
  • Not dressed yet, but that will happen shortly
  • Spent 45 minutes blogging since the read-a-thon started
Happy Reading Everyone!!!!

    It's a good idea to switch to listening anyway.

  12. Audio books are the best of both worlds, aren't they: I can check in on other people AND read at the same time! Thanks for stopping by, and getting dressed is overrated anyways. ;)

  14. I finished my first book just now. Taking a bloggy break to see how others are doing. An audio book is starting to sound like a really good idea! Keep reading!
