I need to do this quickly: it’s breakfast time, and I’m off to church soon…
Starting time: 7 a.m. Friday
Finish time: 7 a.m. Sunday
Total time read: 18.25 hours. I read less this time, though I think I had more time to read. I think, this year, I took more breaks. (I know I did: I ended up watching a couple episodes of Castle, season 1 with C on Friday night — because how could I resist? And a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory, season 1 with both C and A on Saturday night. Yes, I gave up precious reading hours for TV this year.)
Books read: 7
There was also a 45 minute period — which I counted — where I went through about 5 books, abandoning them after about 35 pages because I wasn’t in the mood to read them. (I started The Downside of Being Up, which really is about a kid who gets unwanted erections — after about 25 pages, mostly because in the those 25 pages, there were more euphemisms for penis and erection that I could count. Well, actually, I was counting, and after more than 2 dozen, I decided that it wasn’t my type of book.)
Favorite reads: Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, Stickman Odyssey
Total time blogged: 3.2 hours
Total time: 21.5 hours
Not my best year; I really was aiming for 24 hours or more. But, I still had a grand time. And since my $1 an hour is less than $25, I’m going to donate the $25 to RIF.
And as a little bonus, my favorite geek being bookish:
As always, thanks Pam, for this! I had a blast.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine having The Downside of Being Up in a school library. Beyond awkward, although I left it for Surly Teen Boy to find and read. Yeay for finishing! I finished at 11 and felt like I left the party early!

Congrats!
I went through a period like that, too… I flipped through the first five pages of 3 or 4 books until I settled on what I wanted to read next. The Downside of Being Up does not sound like the kind of book I would enjoy reading either.

Oh, I love Jeremy Fink! I've been meaning to read it again before watching the film.
Congrats on finishing!

Two dozen euphamisms does indeed sound like too many!

Your hours are nothing to apologize for – and hey, Castle won't watch itself! Thanks for playing!
