Today's the 24-hour Read-a-Thon. I can't resist read-a-thons, an excuse to read all day. Unfortunately something else always seems to be going on. I'm going to read as much as I can today, but I do have to volunteer at a fundraiser this afternoon/evening.
My plan is just to update this post throughout the day with time read, books finished, pages, that kind of thing. Of course, I'll also be spending some time visiting other participants, when my eyes start to go blurry.
Update 1:
Finished:
Silver and Spice by Jennifer Greene
Next up:
The Pig Did It by Joesph Caldwell
I have to admit to taking a break to do two miles at the track. I couldn't listen to a book while I was doing it, because my husband was walking/jogging with me. I also went out for lunch. I have to serve at a fundraiser dinner from 3-7, but after that -reading. Should still have plenty of time.
Update 2:
