My sprint for this hour is an audiobook, The Barrakee Mystery. It's lunchtime here, so it's time for a book I can enjoy while making and eating lunch.

An easy, teenagery one. These are like guilty pleasure types.

Kate (kathrynlouwca) I am 20 minutes late as my shower took longer than I thought it would. So I will be stopping 20 minutes later than scheduled. I am going to try to get the last 30 pages I need on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling to count it complete for my first Buddy Read.

I was going to use this app but clearly set it up wrong as when I went to pause my timer, it just reset it. What did I do wrong???

sorry for the late answer, I’ve been sleeping.
You must by mistake have press a bit longer as it then resets. This is my first time using this and I also find it resets a bit to easy.
