Leprechaun Event RaT: Reading Sprint Relay (Sun Mar 20th)
Daphne, you around? I'll assume you are reading and will check in when you can.I listened from 45% to 61% and the crap just hit the fan. Holy cow, so I'm still gonna read for a while. :D
Anyone want 9-10 (5-6am EST?) I'll take it if no one is around. :)
Wasn't able to check in until I got to a stoplight! I'm listening and settling in for my hour. :)
Listening to The Mystery of the Blue Train currently and will finish it off within the hour. Not sure what next. to finish my hour off.

I'll start with a half-hour sprint though if that's alright? Until 9.30. Because at that time I'll have to go take the laundry out ;-)

Absolutely, and welcome! I'll add you in!! :D
Great Daphne, I figured you were around. I couldn't stop where I am right now anyways so I'm sprinting with you. :)
Mod
Cool, I'll read for a bit now and then I'll pop back in nearer the time to let you know where I'm starting.
Wow this looks fun. Can't believe I missed it! Not that I've had time to do it :p But what an amazing idea!
I can fill in for 9:30 if no one else can take it. I'm up and reading anyway.

The 9:30 is yours Bobbi. I'm up and reading as well. :)

Edit: Karsyn's faster on the draw than me, haha! :D
Mod
.I'll start on page 106. And will hopefully get a large chunk read (for my reading speed that is hehe).
Finished my Agatha and decided to make myself listen to another hour of The Goldfinch. ONE HOUR LEFT! :)
Well done Daphne! Bobbi, you're up soon.
My book is sooooooooooooooooo good. Can't stop reading. :)
Mod
What are you reading, Karsyn?
I managed to get to page 129, which is really not bad for me :-)
Mod
I am reading ~
It's a fantastic time travel book and I'll be going straight into the 2nd book. I love time travel books and this will probably end up being my 2nd favorite time travel series. Can't wait to read more and still have 15% to go.
11 is yours. :D

I managed to..."
Nope. Not really a fan. Way too many words without really saying much. This is my 2nd Tartt book, and definitely my last.
Stretching; getting ready to take the handoff at 10!
Welcome Emily!! Glad to see ya this morning!
Eldarwen wrote: "Oh sounds interesting! Added it to my TBR :-)"It's so good, I can't believe that so much is going on in such a short book. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Mod
I'm hoping to finish the book today and preferably before it's too late in the evening. Let's see if I'll manage :-)
And done! Got to page 39 of
. The main character is... a special kind of interesting, but I really like this author so we shall see.Edit: I don't English so good... apparently. Typos.

I won't fault you for a marathon instead, that's what I've got going on. :D
Enjoy Emily!
Eldarwen, you're almost up. :) Do you wanna just sprint the 30 or take the longer hour?
Mod
Thanks!
I'll start at page 161.
Woohooo! :) Sounds good.I'm gonna rest my eyes, so hopefully Angie will join us at 12 (8 EST) and I'll be back by then as well. Our half way point. Y'all did AWESOME during the night. WOOHOO!!
Finished my official sprint on page 110 (my god I read slowly).I'm going to keep reading lazily for awhile longer, so I'll keep company with whoever else is in.

I read just as slowly as you do. Don't feel bad in the least.
I am ready for 12 (8am EST)! I can take the next hour as well - if no one has it or wants it. We are leaving between 10 and 10:30!! :)

Here I go.....
- beginning 2/3 into Chapter 28
Mod
But now I'm feeling a little tired, so a reading break is needed. Perfect time for lunch! ;-)
Have fun Angie!WTG Eldarwen!! Enjoy lunch. I'm definitely sleepy, and hungry here. Gotta wait for Hubby to get up for some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Yum!! :D
Eldarwen wrote: "Cinnamon rolls!! *drools*"Yum!!
LOL! Too bad our oven squeaks when it's opened. I could make 'em and serve Him breakfast in bed. I can't remember the last time He slept this late. It's sooooo rare that I'll probably have to check on Him soon, for my own state of mind (He has health/heart issues, which for a while have been good, but.....)Cinnamon rolls are one of our go to breakfasts for when He's off work. That or donuts. Not a healthy food in this household!! :D
Cinnamon rolls or donuts. I think I may have drooled on my keyboard.
Hehe!! It's yummy. And He's STILL not up. I'm trying not to freak out right now. I know He's ok, but still. I want to check on Him but if I do that, I'll wake Him (everything in this stupid place is old, the door doesn't fit in the jam right so it takes effort to open and is louder than the squeaking oven). I'm not going to last much longer without checking on Him. Argh!
edit: Just heard Him move. YAY!! Now I can relax.
Good! I'm glad. That can be really stressful.Okay, reading time.
Finished with my time slots! Completed Ch 28-35....and am a bit into Ch 35, just not sure how far!!Handing the book off to Bobbi! Have Fun!
Karsyn - I will check back in later this evening to see if there are open times.
Great job Angie!! We'll be around all day, so check back when you can! :DYAY, Hubby got up right after I heard Him moving around. He slept til 9:30, He hasn't done that in YEARS, we can't even remember the last time He slept until 8. 7 is a treat for Him, so I guess He needed it. We scarfed down some cinnamon rolls and are just hanging out. :)
Anyone around and want the 4:30p-5:00p (12:30p-1:00p EST) slot? If not I'll do it, so no worries there, just thought I'd ask. After that, just 5 remaining hours open, so grab 'em while you can! :)
Ready to start my sprint and get back to the time traveling world of St Mary's. Woohoo.Karen, you're up in a half hour. You around? :)
Starting
Good morning! I woke up in time to see that the 3 to 4 spots were taken. :) The only other spot I can take is that half hour between 4:30 and 5. We have D&D at 1 PM eastern every Sunday, and that can go for a few hours.
Just finished another 53 pages in
.With that, I think I need a break!
