It's time to call it.
I got more listening time on Curse of the Pharaohs: 2.25 hours, to be precise.
I finished off Lia and Beckett's Abracadabra : 2.73 hours
Started Legends and Lattes : .08 hours
Altogether I read for 15.22 hours. This has been a fun reading weekend and I'm already looking forward to next year's.
Happy reading everyone!
I stayed up too late reading last night, so didn't log my Saturday progress.
Since there was yard and housework that needed doing, I finished off an audio book that I was listening to : Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters.
I spent 2.75 hours listening to this.
My next audio book was book 2 in the Amelia Peabody series : Curse of the Pharaohs
I got 3.16 hours of listening on this book.
As time permitted I continued with Lia and Beckett's Abracadabra. Total time for that book was 1.5 hours
My total reading time for Saturday was 7.41 hours
It was a great day of reading!
Well, I gave it my best shot. It's getting hard to keep my eyes open, so off to bed I go. Hoping to be up early to get a fresh start on reading. Have a great night, everyone.
Time spent blogging: 12 minutes (10:16-10:28)
Read from 10:28-10:50 - 32 minutes
Back in the day there was the 48 Hour Book Challenge hosted by Mother Reader. Then there was the 24 in 48 Read-a-thon. With those coming to an end, my husband and I started a tradition of a Half-Birthday Reading/LEGO weekend.
He and I both have birthdays near the start of the year. With his birthday, my birthday, and another family member's birthday falling in the first three months of the year, that was a lot of cake! Not great if you're trying to watch your sugar intake. So, we started a new tradition where-in he picks his favorite cake for his birthday then roughly six months later I pick a cake. We'll sequester ourselves with books (for me), LEGO sets (for him), and loads of snacks and enjoy a fun, relaxing weekend.
It's 10:16 p.m. on Friday evening and I'm officially getting this thing started before I fall asleep! Book #1 is Lia and Beckett's Abracadabra by Amy Noelle Parks. Let the fun begin!
I was planning to post more frequently today, but life happened. While I did get a fair amount of reading in, I just wasn't able to post until anything until now. Reading was a combination of print and audio.
While running errands and doing some tasks around the house I finished off Whose Body? by Dorothy Sayers.
The 24 in 48 Read-a-thon is back! I'm so excited to be participating. There was 24 in 48 Read-a-thon held in July of last year, but I had a hard time concentrating on reading due to all the things going on in the world. So I didn't get very far. I'm hoping to get far more reading in this time around.
Since books that celebrate diversity is the theme of this challenge I'll be starting with A Universe of Wishes: A We Need Diverse Books Anthology edited by Dhonielle Clayton. I didn't used to like short story collections, but they've grown on me in the last few years. This sounded like an interesting collection and I look forward to diving in.
That said, let the reading commence!
Happy Reading, everyone!
