Dewey's readathon, October 2013, Part III

[calissa]

Hour 22 begins (8 PM)
As expected, I took a break for most of hour 20 and got back to it for hour 21. I'm taking a brief break at the moment to make some chai, which I hope will carry me through to the end. I'm feeling rather tired but have been enjoying my reading. I'm about halfway through The Last Wish and am not likely to finish it off tonight. However, it should be quick work to wrap it up in the next day or two.

Hour 23 begins (9 PM)
The chai was super tasty and has carried me through a bit longer. I plan to read for another hour and then call it a night. I'm enjoying the structure of this book--lots of little tales framed by a larger one. It has been an effective way of recounting the protagonist's history.

Hour 24 begins (10 PM)
I'm calling it a night. I made great progress today--far, far better than I expected. I have about a quarter of The Last Wish left and will easily be able to finish it off tomorrow. Participating in the readathon has been a delight, once more. I look forward to doing it again in April.

Glad to hear that the readathon was a delight! I know the editing deadlines meant you didn't get to participate quite how you'd hoped to, but it sounds like a good time was had all the same and you're well on your way to chucking something off your TBR pile again. <3

Sleep well! <3

Thank you! I completely zonked out once I got to bed.

It was a relief to get through the rest of the stories and a real treat to be able to start in on one of my books. I'm already looking forward to April.

I don't blame you! That's a lot of reading done!

But yay on meeting another deadline and getting some leisure reading done. Are your deadlines looking a bit more manageable now?

[calissa]

Deadlines are looking a bit more manageable now, but still plenty to do. At least I won't be bored! :D

[lynnoconnacht]

Yay! Manageable deadlines and not getting bored! <3
