Peeking Between the Pages

Hours 13,14, 15&16: Read-a-Thon Progress

by

Well it’s getting late now. I’m about to go check out a few blogs but thought I’d check in. It’s almost 11:30 here and I’ve probably got a few good hours left in me yet. I’ve gone to bed though so that can be dangerous. Buddy is in la-la land, happy as can be finally. lol.

  • Pages Read: 105
  • Pages to Date: 339
  • Time Spent Reading: 2 hours in between watching tv
  • Time Spent Blogging: none, just going to do that now
  • Blogs visited: just going visiting
I started Too Hot to Handle by Robin Kaye and that’s the one I should have started with and my page count would have been much higher. Probably about 3 pages in this one equal one in Mistress of the Sun. Oh well, no big deal. I wanted to make a dent in the books I’m reading and I did.

I didn’t really pig out on all those snackies either-sad hey. I did have a box of Smarties–Joanne and Trish, they are my absolute favorite too! I like them when I’m reading because I can eat them slow and then I don’t end up eating too much sugar. I did eat my bbq hoopy things-those are dangerous. Open the bag and inhale. Other than that I had a bottle of water, a diet pepsi and some tea. Still having the tea.

So, I’m off to see how everyone is doing. I would imagine it’s about 1:30 where most of you are. I bet Trish and Laura are still up and trying to read. lol. Thanks so much to all who have been leaving comments! It really means a lot to have that support and a smile along the way when you’re doing this.

  1. Good luck finishing the Read-a-Thon — going to bed sounds great 🙂

  2. Ooooh, dreaming of smarties. Wait! I just remembered I have cadbury minis. Not quite as good, but they have kind of the same crunchy shell (M&Ms just don't compare).

    I'm up I'm up!!! 😛 It will start to get quiet, though.

    How about a cheer?

    READ
    READ HARD
    COME ON
    TAKE CHARGE
    DAR!

    Ya, I know…

  3. congratulations – hope you had fun! I guess we’ve still got 6 hrs; but it sure feels like time is slowing down… CHEERS!

  4. Yum, Smarties. I am trying to stay out of the package of Oreos.

    Good luck with the rest of your reading!

  5. I’ve already eaten all of my snacks! Oops. Well I think it’s too late to eat anything else anyways…don’t want a tummy ache! It’s good you’ve found something to read quickly! It’s fun to see those page numbers increasing! Hurray Dar!!

  6. I am taking a break from reading even though I’m enjoying The Uncommon Reader. So tempted to turn out the light. Shoot, if I laid down, it would be over before the count. LOL!

  7. Keep going Dar – do a reading/visiting blogs combo, as your eyes get tired visit blogs it wakes your brain up.

  9. I hope your enjoying yourself! The Smarties sound like a good idea. Though I like dark chocolate. I like to suck on one squasre at a time, like it’s hard candy. I don’t need much when I eat it that way.

    You go girl!

  10. Going strong I see 😀
    Keep up the good work 😀

    I just woke up and it’s almost 11 am here.

  12. Well done on getting so far. I am very impressed. I have been out for the last 24 hours so I have missed the whole thing. Sounds like you all had great fun.

  18. You did a great job! I hope your headache went away. I can’t say I was as good with the snacks, but I blame that on Serena for making a cheesecake and leaving it here! LOL
