Read-a-Thon: Hours 3&4

October 24, 2009 by Darlene


What I’m Reading: Finished The Frozen Thames by Helen Humphreys

Pages Read: 152

Pages Read Total: 219

Books Finished: 1

The Frozen Thames is a small book of short stories which is why it was very easy to read 150 pages worth in a little over an hour. The book is ok, not my favorite by any means though. I’ve liked other books of hers much more.

Other Things Taking up My Time:

  • Nothing really.
  • Made another cup of tea.
  • Took the dog out and it’s really cold and windy.

What Next:

I’m going to go visit some blogs now. Then feed the dog and take a shower. I doubt too much reading will happen in the next couple of hours but that’s ok. Next to read is maybe Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. I need something to amuse me after The Frozen Thames which was quite dark in some stories.

    Have a wonderful Day; enjoy your books, and take time to rest as well. It is pouring here so it's the perfect day to be in the house reading and relaxing!

    Dead Until Dark is a good choice, I think, for the readathon. A quick, interesting read! Happy Readathon!

    Despite the cold it sounds like you're off to a great start! No migraines threatening, right??

    Dar: I'm so glad reading is going well for you. I finished one book of poetry so far. $5 in the pot for poets.org from me.

    I have to read night of flames, but I'm interspersing some Sookie Stackhouse in there.

    I'm cheering you and buddy on!

    Anna and The Girl say hello and happy reading.

    You'll have to check out my 7th hour entertainment video…coming soon.

    Hey Dar! It's fantastic that you finished a book already! I'm glad Buddy is letting you read – the cats know I want to be left alone to read so they are all over me! LOL

    No worries, I'm having fun & getting some good reading in!

    Happy Reading to you! Enjoy your break.

    Enjoy your break. I could really use a shower, but I don't see that actually happening any time soon.
