Update 3: 7:00 Hour 13
This is just a quick update to say Ooops! Last update I said I was at 7 1/2, but I wasn't.: ( I was at 6 1/2. But, I just finished The Summer I Turned Pretty so I am now!:)
Oh, and also — My hands are FREEZING! Especially the right hand. My room is cold, since it's a "balmy" 35 degrees here is good ole SouthEast Idaho, so the hand holding my book is a little numb. But fear not! I shall prevail! The cold can't stop me!:)
Update 2: 4:15pm Hour 10 1/4
I'm pretty proud of my progress today! I've been doing great so far, making sure I'm 'on task' and have spent most of my time reading today. I plan to read one more book, and then spend about an hour or so visiting everyone who has stopped by to cheer me on. I'm at 7 1/2 6 1/2 books now, although the 3 last books that I read are more novellas, but I'm okay with that. I'm counting them anyway.:)
I hope all of you are doing well with your reading! Good luck!
Update 1: 12:30pm Hour 6 1/2
I feel like I've been making pretty good progress with the read-a-thon so far, although some part of me thinks that I might be able to do better... But I shouldn't be complaining, because I have already completed two books, and I finished the last bit of a third book. Hopefully, I can keep it up throughout the rest of the day!!
