Susy (susysstories) Read for 40 minutes, from 8.10-8.50 am, 11 pages (I'm reading really slow....have to accelerate a bit), Lightning.

For the new time slot I will switch to Praktijkboek EMDR: Casusconceptualisatie en specifieke patiëntengroepen. I'm reading this for work, will be a very slow read I'm afraid....

Total Reading Time: 56/1440 minutes

Ashy Khaira (asreenkhaira) | 38 comments Got 2 hours of reading in-total 6 1/2


message 9: by SarahKat, Buddy Reads (new)

SarahKat | 6286 comments Completed 1 hour. Total: 1 hour

I listened to Me Talk Pretty One Day while driving to work and having my coffee.
Challenges this book fulfills: 2nd Quarter Bibliophile "Read a book that is an author's memoir" and Popsugar "A book with an LGBT+ protagonist", and IF I finish it before the end of the month, April's Surprisingly Similar "Sexual Orientation"
What's going well: I always do this, so it's not any different so far.
Less well: I don't usually listen to it for so long in the mornings because I usually get distracted by other things. I got a little restless trying to get a full hour in with just an audio, but I did it!


RJ - Slayer of Trolls (hawk5391yahoocom) I got up around 6 am and after getting my coffee I read a chapter of We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson before taking my daughter to school.

Completed 1 hour, a total of 1 hour.

Lee I read Dear Martin and Counting Thyme during this time. I ended up finishing Dear Martin which was excellent! I read for an hour throughout this time.

Kristin wrote: "Great job, Randy! I'll be updating after work but wanted to thank you for your participation. How's the book?"

I like it a lot. I read her The Haunting of Hill House a year or two ago and really enjoyed it, so I jumped into the group read of this book with the Literary Horror group.

Kristin wrote: "Randy, what is your goal for the readathon?"

I don't have one, but I'm trying to make a lot of progress on all my books while also getting my daughter to her basketball practices and trying to complete a video project.
