Read-a-Thon: Hours 15, 16, 17&18

October 25, 2009 by Darlene


What I’m Reading: The House on Tradd Street

Pages Read: 68

Pages Read Total: 399

Books Read: 1

lol-I still only got that one book read. So much for reading those 100 page ones I had so I’d have a higher book count. Oh well. I got hooked on The House on Tradd Street and I’m going right back to it after I log out for the night. It’s creepy and good! Just perfect for me and my attention span.

Other Things Taking up my Time:

  • those cheetos!!!
  • a scary movie on tv…
  • trying to ignore my snoring puppy who is cozily curled up on his pillow making me wish I was the same – lol

What’s next:

I’m logging off for the night just in case I fall asleep but have no fear – I’m still reading. I’ll probably make it at least another couple of hours. It’s midnight here now and I’m feeling pretty good. I imagine I’ll come pretty close to finishing The House on Tradd Street anyway.

Hope everyone is still doing well. I apologize for not doing a whole lot of blog hopping but for some reason I just couldn’t coordinate it all today. Maybe next time around I’ll just be a cheerleader so I can visit. Night everyone!

    Ohhh, I have heard so much about that book. Would love to read it. Now that it's past midnight and our eyes are drooping lower, it's time for us night owls to get our second wind! So here is a big HOOT from Alabama. Keep on Reading!!!! Just a few more hours to go!!!!

    Go Reading,Go Reading,Go Reading!!!

    I hope you've enjoyed this readathon! the goal is to enjoy reading, rather than think about how many pages (or whatever) you've read :-)!

    Getting the balance between cheering, blogging and reading can be difficult.

    Great job reading this time!

    You did great, sweetie. Hope you have a good sleep (oh how envious I am but I agreed to head cheerlead the last 6 hours…).

    No worries about the lack of coordination. I've been ALL over the place myself.

    I hope you've enjoyed the Read-a-Thon and managed to finish your book! ^-^ *hugs*

    Congratulations on the great job. It does not matter what and how many you read, it's the fact you are enjoying reading that counts.

    You're doing very well for your read-a-thon, Dar!

    A nice sleeping puppy would make me wish for the same thing too. 🙂

    Great job! I hope you made it back up to finish reading, but if not, I hope you got some great sleep. 🙂

    Enjoying your book is more important than reading a large number…in my book (lol), that is!

    And good night from Denmark. I have not been able to make a real blog round until now so I have missed quite a lot of the readathon.

    Oh, I wanted Cheetos yesterday but then I have to keep a rag handy to keep my hands clean and I was reading several library books so I couldn't risk orange stains. So it was Pringles for me.

    Glad you had a good time! I only finished one book as well. Many distractions including a sick hubby. 🙂
