I had to work and worry about the sad demise of my computer (a train ride to the Ginza Apple store and 99800 yen later, and I'm up and running) . . . So, I didn't really do that well this time. It did bring me up to my monthly total though.

[Afsana]

well I ended up falling asleep at 12.45am and not waking till 8am.

I was pretty much reading the whole time with a few minutes break here and there but stopped at 6pm to start my daughters eating and bedtime routine,

Any time I physically was not holding a book I was listening to an audio book.


So results:-

1) The Scarpetta factor By patricia Cornwell (ook started pre readathon-was at page. 188 of 492) Do read 314 pages

2) J is for Judgement by Sue Grafton - 341 pages

3) Haunting Josie By Kay Hooper - 213

4 Started CSI Nevada Rose by Jerome Preisley-read 20 Pages

Listened to following:-

1) The forsyte Saga-To Let -listened 1 hour and 26 mins and finished

2) A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hoesseni -2 hours and 235 mins and finished

So read 2 2/3 of a book and started another.
Finished listening to one and listened to 1 audio book

Total pages:868
Listened for: 4 hrs 1 minute

longest reading stretch 7 hrs 20 mins

[Athira]

Wow .. I've been literally drooling out here! I'm so jealous!!

[Donnajo]

I finished one book that I had started alittle bit of. A widow of Paradise by Donna Birdsell and started, read and finished another Houston we have a problem by Erin McCathy (but finished it later that night so didn't count all the pages only until cut off) also started But inside I'm screaming by Elizabeth Flock.
So total I read 11 hours and 10 minutes and read a total of 661 pages. The longest time was probably 7 hours. I didn't stay up at night and I took probably too many breaks. If I do it again I'll work it differently I think. It was interesting to see how many pages I could read for different lengths of time.
