Finish Line Post

Well, 7:30 has come and gone, as has this challenge for 2012. I had do a lot of driving around today, so got much further in my audiobook Night Train to Memphis by Elizabeth Peters. I also had a chance to start reading the next book on my "to read" list, Secret Places, Hidden Sanctuaries: Uncovering Mysterious Sights, Symbols, and Societies by Stphen Klimczuk and Gerald Warner of Craigenmaddie. Got about 37 pages in, so not too bad.


My tally stands as follows.



Current tally:
Friday night 9:10-9:25 read more of Crown of Serpents while preparing for bed. (15 minutes)

Saturday 

5:34-7:39 listened to Night Train to Memphis while out on my morning walk. (2 hours 5 minutes)

8:04-8:15 read Crown of Serpents (11 minutes)

8:44-2:19 finished Crown of Serpents (5 hours 35 minutes)

2:22-3:01 logging book here and at Good Reads. (39 minutes)

3:09-6:30 read Homer & Langley by E.L. Doctorow (3 hours 21 minutes)

7:14-9:40 finished Homer & Langley, logged it here and at Good Reads (2 hours 26 minutes)

Sunday: 

8:34-8:38 listened to Night Train to Memphis (4 minutes)


11:12-11:27 listened to Night Train to Memphis (15 minutes)


11:30-11:15 read Secret Places (20 minutes)


3:39-3:51 read Secret Places (12 minutes)


5:17-6:05 listened to Night Train to Memphis (48 minutes)


6:22-7:30 read Secret Places (1 hour 8 minutes)


Total reading/blogging time for the challenge: 17 hours 19 minutes

I beat my time from last year, but not the number of books. This year I only completed two books, but they were quite a bit longer than past years. I'm pretty happy with 17+ hours considering I had to work for four hours right in the middle of the challenge. Already looking forward to next year.

Hope you all had a great challenge as well.

  2. Great hours! I've done the big book thing before for the 48HBC, but I prefer the feel of knocking out the smaller books. Thanks for playing!

    If you have a donation for RIF that you could share or email to me, I'd appreciate it as I'm closing in on a nice number for the challenge. My email is MotherReader AT gmail DOT com. Thanks!
