Want A Reading Sprint? Showing 17,651-17,700 of 59,700

[Vicki]

I'm babysitting for 2 of my grandkids but I'll try.

[(Liene)]

:05 for 15?

[(Liene)]

:10 for 15 is good too :)

[Vicki]

Sure

[Vicki]

I got 5% read

[(Liene)]

13 pages. I want to read more, want to go again? :)
5%sounds like quite a bit :)

[Vicki]

No, it's about 14 pages. Sure I'll go again. :30 for 15?

[(Liene)]

ok! :)

[Vicki]

Cool

[Vicki]

6% :) You?

[(Liene)]

Nice! You're reading faster than me. :)
I read 12 pages. Though I kept going back to the maps in the beginning of the book, that took some time I guess, but they help imagine the story :)

[Vicki]

Yeah, but all books have more or less words per page, depending on the size font and space between lines. The difficulty of the book makes a difference too.

My grandson is up now so I have to go. Maybe I'll see you later this evening. :)

[(Liene)]

I hope you have a great evening with them! must be wonderful to spend time together :)

[Vicki]

Yeah, they're 3 & 7. Their mom took her 14 & 13 year old shopping for school. But today I'm really tired!

[(Liene)]

Do they like having stories read to them? That's a peaceful activity :D
My niece and nephew, 3 and 4 years, love that, they can spend hours just looking at books or listening to someone read to them :)

[Vicki]

Not so much. My 7 year old can read on his own and my 3 year old is a little too active to sit for long; however, they do like to be read to for short periods.

[(Liene)]

I hope you found something peaceful to do with them then :)

Anyone up for a sprint or a few?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Anyone?

[Irene]

Yes! T/l?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

My dinner will be ready soon so how is :00 for 10?

[Irene]

Sorry, I missed that :(

[Irene]

Is anyone around?

[Jessica]

Does anyone want to sprint?

[Slavena]

Anyone up for a sprint ?

[Jessica]

Yes! I can probably only do one or two right now. Want to set T/L, Slavena?

[Slavena]

Okay, :50 for 15 ?

[Irene]

I'd like to join as well

[Jessica]

Sounds good!

[Irene]

Sorry, gotta go

[Slavena]

I read 17 pages.

[Jessica]

I read 17 pages. How did you do, Slavena?

[Jessica]

Good job! I've got to go now, but I'll probably be on later if you want to do more sprints. :)

[(Liene)]

Would anyone like to do a sprint or a few? :)

[Vicki]

I can. T/L?

[(Liene)]

Sorry, I didn't check here for a while.
If you're still here, :45 for 15? Or :50, depending on when you see this :)

[Vicki]

:45 is good. I'm reading What's Left of Me but I'm going so slow!

[(Liene)]

Ok!
Is the book slow?
I'm still reading The Glass Sentence. I've been reading it for maybe 8 or 9 days, even though I absolutely LOVE it. Things just keep getting in the way of reading. :D

[Vicki]

I hear ya! I'm not sure if it's the book or me. Good luck!

[(Liene)]

15 pages!
Is the book good so far? I've been meaning to read it sometime, but the idea of 2 people in 1 body is unsettling to me.. well if it's good I want to read it anyway :D

[Vicki]

That's my problem! I'm having a hard time getting into it. My NOOK is 241 pages but the book is 324. I read 7 pages on my NOOK. Lol

[(Liene)]

I hope you get into it! :)
So that's probably more than 10 pages of the book!
Would you like to go again?
:10 for 15?

[Vicki]

Yes

[(Liene)]

Great!

[Vicki]

I think you are right that I read 10 pages and that's about what I read again. But do you see what I mean how slow it is going for me?

[(Liene)]

I read 13 this time.
Yes, I remember other times you read a lot more than 10 pages! Even so, with some books, I'll read only 8 or 9 in 15 minutes. I'm sure it's the book!
I think that most of this book I'm reading has been read sprinting. They really help when there's so much else going on around.
Want to go again?

[Vicki]

Ok can we wait till :50 and go 20?

[(Liene)]

Sure, sounds good! :)

[Vicki]

Cool! Here we go! :)

[Vicki]

I read about 14 pages

[(Liene)]

Awesome!
I read 15, I think.
Is the book getting any easier to read?
