calissaHour 14 begins (Midday)
I ended up reading another chapter of Sophie's World before returning to ASIM #46. I can't say that I have been enjoying the latter much--too much horror and darkness. I'm still torn between setting it aside and ploughing right through. Whatever the case, it's time to break for lunch.

Hour 15 begins (1 PM)
I ended up pressing on with ASIM #46 which redeemed itself with a pun-filled zombie romance by Simon Petrie. I'd read it before, being acquainted with Simon, but it brought me some much-needed levity. So I shall continue on and see how I go. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I've just downed my first cup of black tea for the day. I'm thinking there might be some chai in the future.

Hour 16 begins (2 PM)
Not much progress this last hour. A friend arrived to play computer games with my partner and the three of us spent some time catching up. It was nice to have a bit of a break and I feel a little less tired now.

Hour 17 begins (3 PM)
More socialising this hour when another friend came to join the first one. We all had lunch out on the back deck in the sunshine. Even though it means less reading time, I'm okay with that and am feeling pretty relaxed. I had hoped to get through at least three books this readathon, since that is how many books I've managed to add just in the last week. However, if I don't get there I'll be happy to shrink Mt TBR by even just one or two books. Every bit is progress and the real point is to enjoy it.

Hour 18 begins (4 PM)
I managed to get in some solid reading this time around. I'm almost done with ASIM #46, just a few pages left to read. I found it much easier to read after my extended break, so I'm doubly glad I had a rest. I'm thinking that I'll probably read another chapter of Sophie's World before moving onto ASIM #47

Hour 19 begins (5 PM)
Polished off ASIM #46 and another chapter of Sophie's World, before moving onto ASIM #47 as planned. This issue is off to an excellent start with a highly amusing (and well-timed) story about zombies being resurected to vote. I hope the rest of the issue turns out as entertaining!
