Starting time: 7:35 a.m. Friday
Ending time: 7:35 a.m. Sunday
Books read: 6, plus one graphic novel of a play, plus finishing one I had started before, and starting one that I’ll finish later.
Time spent reading: 19
Time spent blogging/on social media: 3 hours 45 minutes
Total time: 22 hours, 45 minutes (I should have read for 15 more minutes!)
How does it stack up to last year? Read less time — but then I discovered that it really does make a difference to have Hubby and M around; while they were gone, I only read 2 hours and blogged for a half hour. My time didn’t really start ticking up yesterday until they got back. But I read more books — I chose shorter ones, and didn’t read any adult books for the challenge this time.
I also realized that starting the challenge after having a bad night’s sleep (K went into the emergency room on Thursday night for stitches; she’s doing just fine, but I didn’t get to bed until late) makes a big difference in how I managed the rest of the challenge. My brain got fried, and I’m not sure that’s happened in the past.
That said, it was fun, as always. Thanks, Pam!

Great job!!

Abby — thanks! She's doing great. Only three stitches on her forehead, but it was a bit of a traumatic night Thursday. π

poor K! poor you!
But still a lot of reading. Shorter books do tend to work better…I'm stuck in a door stopper right now…and only Pride is making me press on.

Great totals. It is hard when you've got others around. My kids generally hate to just let me read.

You're welcome! Thanks for playing!
(I debated on doing my last 1 1/2 hours to reach my goal, and just couldn't make myself care enough anymore. Bed sounded toooo good.)
