[Hannah]

Burning up those pages, Joleen!

Curiosity was killing me, so I clicked over...look at that epic page count average! :)

[Joleen]

Is that impressive? Lol.

[Hannah]

Haha...well, some folks think a 300 page book is very long. :)

[Andrea]

I'm impressed! Way to start off with hefty books, girl! So happy for you.

[Joleen]

Well, I’m working on a less impressive 256 page book now. There goes my esteem. 😁

[Hannah]

Well, it’s still a fourth book in three days. How are you feeling, by the way?

[Andrea]

Hey, you're doing great! I'm still sitting on zero books read so far this year. I've read a little in several, but none completed yet.

[Jane]

Hahaha!! I'm raising my hand as the one who thinks 300 pages is hefty! Joleen, I'm completely impressed!! And I'm with Andrea on the zero books read so far this year. I'm trying to read along with the Georgette Heyer group read, but I'm one of those people who has a hard time reading while sick (wish I could get immersed in a book like the rest of you do when not feeling good!).

[Joleen]

I think the 36 hour flu is finally over. Thanks for the concern, ladies. I admit I did fall asleep a few times while reading. When it was hard to concentrate, or I needed to get up to clean the kitchen, I turned on text-to-speech and let Kindle read to me. It’s robotic, but I’m used to it. We don’t have TV so reading is my entertainment.

[Andrea]

I'm glad you're feeling better, Joleen!

[Joleen]

Thanks, Andrea!

Haha...right? My first read of the year was 148 pages and I was just a bit growly about that. :)

I’m well now, and have bible studies starting back up again at our home and at church, so there will be spaces between books now. Ah well, I had a good start. 😉
