It's time to begin Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon. I'm just going to edit this post as I go through the books. Wish me luck!!!

Starting time-8:00 pm (I'm taking breaks every other hour so I can do homework)
8:00 pm-Starting page 532
2:00 am-Finished The Sweet Far Thing

I'm probably going to sleep for a few hours now, since it is 2 in the morning and I did play golf today in the hot hot sun...but I promise to be back soon!!!

The Queen of Everything by Deb Caletti
5:30 am-Starting time (I'm going to do the whole read every other hour again so I can get other things done today)
***I took a nap in the morning...well I guess more like I slept. I guess I was pretty tired after yesterday's golf, but I did finish book two!***
2:30 pm-Finished The Queen of Everything

Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson

Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti
7:00 pm-Starting time
7:15 pm-I can't keep my eyes open...I'm exhausted!!! but it's a good exhausted...this was tons of fun!!!

I finished a book that I started earlier this month (finally), 2 whole books, and started a new one...I read 910 pages and I participated in a little bit more than 9 hours of the whole 24 hour read-a-thon.

I will be sure to participate in future read-a-thons...this was tons of fun & I also won a set of books : )
