April-May Read-A-Thon: Day 1

I just now read chapter 3 of Lost Horizon. That took me eight minutes, leaving me with 23 hours and 52 minutes to go. I have some writing to do, so I won't likely get any more reading done today. However, if it thunders where I am, and I have to turn my computer off, I'll do more reading.

Progress on Current Read And Upcoming Read-A-Thon

I read chapter two of The Lost Horizon tonight. I didn't do any reading whatsoever last night. I got distracted with other things.

Tomorrow is Bookcrossing's April-May Read-a-thon. I'll do my daily chapter read tomorrow and count it towards my time, but because of various things I have to do tomorrow, I won't be doing a lot of reading until I'm off-duty on Saturday. Not counting the book I'm on now, I'm down to two books. I may have to buy some books to ensure that I have 24 hour's worth of material to last me to next Thursday night.

Progress on Current Read

This afternoon, I read chapter one of The Lost Horizon.  As much as I had placed myself under the rule that I would read at least one chapter per day, I don't always do that. (Hmm. Maybe I need to set up a chart or something as a reminder.)

Released 'A Bride By Christmas"

I released A Bride by Christmas yesterday. I released it in the ladie's room of the local Memorial Auditorium. I don't know if I'll hear back about where it's gone since the release or not.

Started On 'The Lost Horizon'

The book I'm currently on is The Lost Horizon by James Hilton. This is the book that last belonged to my late step-great-granmother on my mom's side of the family. So far, I've read the prologue After I finish the book, I will likely release it.

Finshed with 'A Bride by Christmas'

Today, I finished  A Bride by Christmas. I did most of the reading when I was in the car.  Now, I have to figure out when/where I will be releasing.

The next book I will be reading is called Lost Horizon by James Hilton.

Progress on Current Read

I've just finished reading chapter two of Tumbleweed Christmas. I may be reading more of it later, or I may not.

Progress on Current Read

I've started on Tumbleweed Christmas by Candace Camp. There's only seven chapters in it, so if I were to read a chapter every single day, I'd have it done by Monday.

Finished The Wise Virgin

This morning, when I still had some time left before going to church, I finished The Wise Virgin in A Bride by Christmas.  I am now down to the final novel in the collection: Tumbleweed Christmas by Candace Camp.

Where I Got To On My Current Read Last Night

I did some reading of The Wise Virgin during commercial breaks of TBS's run of Shrek the Third. I am up to chapter eight.

Progress on Current Read

I had started to read chapter three of The Wise Virgin during the commercial breaks of Sober House, but then I got distracted with something, so I finished the chapter today when I got home from taking some recycling to the college campus.

After that, I read chapter four. I don't know if I will be reading more later today or not.

New Blog

I have a new blog called The Way Of The Accommodite which was inspired by my relatively submissive personality. Feel free to take a peek!

Progress on Current Read

I realize it's been a while since I have given any updates here. My apologies to anyone who has been here lately, trying to see if I had any recent updates or not. I realize I haven't been faithful to the "at least one chapter a day" rule I try to live by. I am going to try harder on that.

This morning, I read chapter two of The Wise Virgins. I may read more later.

Read Another Chapter

I started on Chapter One of The Wise Virgins in A Bride by Christmas. I had started the chapter before dinner. However, after dinner, I finished the chapter in keeping with my personal policy not to leave a chapter unfinished.

Progress on Current Read

As I've mentioned before, I'm reading the three-in-one book collection called A Bride by Christmas. The particular book I'm on is Jo Beverley's The Wise Virgin. So far, I've gone through the prologue. I may read more tonight.

Monday, April 5, 2010

Progress on Current Read

The book I'm currently reading, A Bride by Christmas, is actually a collection of three books. I've just finished the first of the three, Home for Christmas by Heather Graham. The second book in the collection, The Wise Virgin by Jo Beverley, will be the next one to be read.

Failed Yet Another Read-A-Thon

You know, after day four, things for me as far as the read-a-thon was concerned went downhill. Day five, I got in only fifteen minutes; day six, maybe forty; day seven, no reading at all.

Maybe next time, I'll get in as much reading as possible on the weekends. I get so distracted on the weekdays.
