Read-A-Thon: Hour 9

The reading is still going well – I can’t believe how fast the time is flying!  I took off hour 7 in order to take a nap, and I’m feeling pretty refreshed.  I actually ended up putting a book that I’d started down after 100 pages because it wasn’t keeping my interest, and I’m glad I did.  I think the book is probably good (it’s a book of essays about Judy Blume), but it’s just not read-a-thon material.

  19. That’s a pretty amazing average: I only get to about 4 pages a minute (and that’s only if it’s a re-read and I’m wicked comfortable with the book)… But I’m having a great time just the same!
