Read-A-Thon: Hour 4

I am excited to report that I am still going strong. I have done much better, page wise, during the last two hours than my first two hours. I was shocked when I calculated that I read 88 pages. Normally I average between 30-35 pages an hour.

I am going to take a break for a few house and will report back at around 3:30pm. In that time I hope to go to the library, write an post reviews and visit and comment on other read-a-thoners sites. But all that depends on my internet connection which is acting up.

Read-a-Thon: Hour 2


I started the Read-A-Thon about 9am, after I made some tea and had an english muffin. I think I have taken a total of two breaks in the 2 hours since it has started. So far, I am doing well.

I am currently tackling Invisble Man and will read it to for about the first half of the Read-a-Thon (if I don't finish it). I will be taking a longer break to head over to the shower and go to the library. But that is not for another couple of hours. Now on to the stats:

Read.Read.READ-A-THON: Starts

I missed the chance to do the Dewey Reading Challenge back in October. In fact I was on my unscheduled hiatus when the challenge was taking place. I wanted to do it and was sorry that I missed it. Luckily, Bethany (TheDredLockGirl) is hosting a read-a-thon. It started today at 9am (EST), I started at 9am but was having internet problems so I couldn't post about it.

I plan to try to read for at least two hours straight with an a break inbetween each reading session.

I am hoping to complete two books in the 24 hours:
  1. Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison (already started)
  2. Sula by Toni Morrison
With my breaks I plan to:
  1. Catch up on review waiting to be written.
  2. Visit other read-a-thoners.
Good luck to everyone that is participating.
