Thanks! I need to go pick another book to read but if I find one quickly I will let you know and we can sprint. Will you still be here? :)
Wonderful job guys! I am reading an ebook and the format and pages and percentages are all messed up (I HATE THAT!) but I am getting progress done! :)
Progress is all that counts. We can't compare our reading to others because some books have smaller print, some larger, some the lines are spaced further apart, etc. So I just accept whatever I get done and feel satisfaction. :)
Exactly! It says I read 7% of my book which would be 13 pages. I just love it when I am actually reading and getting some books done! :)
Yeah, do you ever have those days where you feel like you have been reading all day but you've only read 20-30 pages? That was my day yesterday with all my interruptions! Lol

I was reading last night and the baseball game was on and my dad was trying to talk to me about his fantasy baseball league. I barely read anything! Interruptions are no fun!
It's funny! At times I have been "reading" for 20-30 minutes and realize I'm on the same page or have read 1-2. I'm glad it's not just me! Lol
lol! When I get distracted I end up reading the same sentence over and over again. When it gets to the point that I have read the sentence 10+ times (this does happen) I eventually have to start reading out loud for a bit to gain my concentration back!
Yes, that happens all the time to me! Sometimes my mind is somewhere else and I find myself 3 pages ahead than I was before and realized I was just looking at words and not reading lol!

I will get so incredibly confused and then I start smacking my brain and then back up! LOL
I went from 25% to 30%! I am now watching the baseball game so my reading will have many distractions so I am going to go now! It was lots of fun sprinting with you! Thanks! :)
