Challenge Completed

And with that it's time to put my challenge to bed. Here's how today went:

Jackaby - 1 hour 22 minutes

The Mummy Case - 1 hour 58 minutes

That puts my reading at 3 hour 20 minutes for today. Also, I finished Jackaby, which was one of my goals for this challenge. Considering the unplanned circumstances that arose this weekend, I'm calling this a successful challenge. It's been super fun and I hope to participate again next January.

Total Reading Time for the challenge: 5 hours, 13 minutes. 

Not bad considering I didn't think this summer's challenge would happen for me. Thanks to the gang at 24 in 48 for all your hard work in hosting this event. You guys rock!

Here are my reading time proofs for today.

Time Tally So Far

As I suspected, not much reading got done today. Some of it was due to my choices of browsing Twitter and playing Candy Crush. Some of it was due to fun family outings that truly blessed our houseguest. It was a great day overall, even if too much time in the sun tired me out.

Oh, before I forget, I settled on an audiobook for this weekend's challenge. The "winner" was The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters.

Now...the tally. Here's how things are shaping up so far.

Friday July 20th
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - 30 minutes

Saturday July 21st
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - 11 minutes
Jackaby - 22 minutes
The Mummy Case - 50 minutes

Total time so far: 1 hour 53 minutes.

Here are my proof of time screen shots

         
  

Off to try and squeeze in a bit more reading before heading off to bed. It's been a great, but tiring day.

Happy Reading my friends!

24 in 48 Challenge #2

It's time for the second 24 in 48 book challenge of 2019. Well, almost. Still another 29 minutes until start time. Would you believe I'm still working out my strategy? Some of my reading plans got changed at the last minute, for good reasons, though. I think the strategy for this go 'round is "family first and go with the flow."

I'll be blogging here as time permits. Books will include Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, The Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Jackaby by William Ritter, and a yet to be determined audio book. I plan to count my time using both the Bookly app and the Beanstack Tracker app and will post screenshots through the weekend to confirm my times.

To all who are participating, happy reading!
