I wish I had started today instead of on Friday because of hectic schedule. Also I&#39;ll keep better track of my reading time. It&#39;s been a really fun experience and I&#39;ve really enjoyed going to other blogger sites.<br />To answer your question I have been changing the location of where I read to help me stay focused. My favorite place this weekend has been the deck during rain storms wrapped in a big blanket.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235537102211708600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-50392970897093972042009-06-07T00:48:08.532-04:002009-06-07T00:48:08.532-04:00I&#39;ve been blogging/networking between books an...I&#39;ve been blogging/networking between books and making sure I take breaks for my dog and husband-who have been great! <br />I keep reading romances because I like them and if it&#39;s a good story I get pulled in. I&#39;ve been in a reading slump lately and not really enjoying some of the books I&#39;ve read recently, so the challenge is really helping me sit down and read-and I&#39;m enjoying the books I&#39;m reading! I just wish I could read a little faster!GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-43196025029802503572009-06-06T23:57:46.729-04:002009-06-06T23:57:46.729-04:00P.S.

It&#39;s wonderful to have 15 hours of reading in, and you ARE doing great, but I know that when you&#39;ve got high aspirations and have done waaay more reading in the past, it can seem mild by comparison. I have to keep talking myself down from &quot;Hey, there was a time when I could have blown this challenge out of the water&quot; talk. <br /><br />Yay Pam!

It means I can savor what I&#39;m reading, or put it down if it isn&#39;t working. <br /><br />On the flip side of that, I&#39;ve been watching with sleepy-eyed fascination the blog of a younger participant who did not include &quot;sleep&quot; in her plans for the 48 hours...My bed is calling, and it is not yet 11.<br /><br />I played my 1 audio book card to great advantage, dragging an extension cord and cd player into the vegetable garden with me, to give me my outside time. This helped a lot.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Pam, for all the effort you put into this!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-49142446625385045502009-06-06T22:02:31.276-04:002009-06-06T22:02:31.276-04:00I have had things to do in the morning, so I have ...I have had things to do in the morning, so I have been starting later in the day. Plus, I take half hour breaks if I spend more than two hours reading. Also, I switched between two different books. I am starting a graphic novel tonight to give myself a break from words. And finally, I take an hour break for dinner and a walk..which is what I am doing right now. A break for dinner and a walk :) and of course, a blog or two ;) Happy reading!Shannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982164321876429287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-55493412825530917732009-06-06T21:28:14.169-04:002009-06-06T21:28:14.169-04:00I&#39;m really glad I&#39;m not the only one who h...I&#39;m really glad I&#39;m not the only one who had to take a nap. I wasted away most of the day doing errands, so I hope to read well into the evening tonight.<br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-55919812427083445302009-06-06T21:08:57.978-04:002009-06-06T21:08:57.978-04:00I think you are doing great!

I have to keep stopping to take care of my little boys, and I can&#39;t go far without sleep so I am not in the running for prizes. I am really enjoying the challenge and all the reading time though!Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-18336972657508382412009-06-06T21:08:32.029-04:002009-06-06T21:08:32.029-04:00I&#39;m taking a break in between each book. I mus...I&#39;m taking a break in between each book. I must confess, I had a choice between sleeping in this morning and reading, and I chose sleeping in. After my gig, I spent 90 minutes reading in the bookstore (and ate lunch while I read). Oddly enough, the books I enjoy reading are taking longer than the books that I&#39;m just reading to plow through. I have been trying to vary fiction and non-fiction. Also, I&#39;m going back and forth between books that I feel I &quot;have&quot; to read because either someone&#39;s lent me them or because they&#39;ve been on my bookshelf for years and books I really want to read. We&#39;re going out to dinner with family in just a moment, and then I&#39;ll pick up Urn Burial, a book I&#39;ve been wanting to reread for a long, long time. <br /><br />This is a good exercise for me. I&#39;m a life-long reader, but over the past while, sitting down and becoming immersed in a book has been a rare occurence because of other wonderful things that I can&#39;t do at the same time-- sewing and guitar playing are two of those main activities. <br /><br />I bought my own copy of Graceling today! That was one of the 2 books I read last year that I simply could not put down until I was done. I told everyone to go away. :)Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.com
