Read-a-thon: Update Hour 7-8


Well, my Aggies lost--but I'm OK with that. I didn't catch the game, but it seems as though the put up a good fight. Maybe next year (although how many years in a row have they lost to Tech now? Laura--do you know?)
I didn't get as much reading done the past two hours because I had to get cleaned up and fix some lunch (sushi rolls! yum!). For those who asked--Just out of Luck by Willie Nelson was a pleasant surprise. Not a strong beginning but I found myself liking it more and more as the story went on.
Hours 7-8
Pages: 58 (from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl--Loving it but it is taking me longer to read)
Time: 70 minutes

TOTALS:
312 minutes reading
280 pages
95 minutes blogging (including now)
Lost count of comments on blogs

For last hour's mini-challenge I donated another 1000 grains of rice at freerice.com (up to 2300). There are some other mini-challenges still going on, so be sure to check out Dewey's page!

Maggie looks so cute! And the sushi rolls sound yummy. I love Anne Frank's Diary, but from what I remember it's not that fast a read.

Keeping track of other participants visited is hard, isn't it?

Great job Trish! Looks like Maggie is trying to get in on the action. lol.

I was never a cheerleader either. Obviously.

Happy Reading!

Laura said...

You made sushi?? I'm impressed!

The game was too close for comfort for the majority of the time. That is what makes sports to fun!

Is this your first time to read Anne Frank?

I would love to reread Diary of Anne Frank. I think I was in high school when I last read it. Enjoy!
