Progress On Current Read: The Promise

I did some reading this morning. I think I did some in the past day or so as well. Anyway, I'm partway into chapter 21.

Coming Next Week: RAB-PIA Meets Saw

Next week, I will be doing a miniseries of posts here on RAB-PIA called "RAB-PIA Meets Saw".  I got this idea after having seen clips of Saw and related parodies on Youtube. (Judging by the clips, I don't think I could handle the actual Saw movies as they are gorier than to my taste.) The posts will be in connection to the October-November read-a-thon which will start next Friday and end at midnight the following Thursday.

For those of you who have been following my blog may know, I've participated in Bookcrossing's read-a-thons since earlier this year. However, I never completed the 24 hours that was set as the goal. Part of it had to do with other things I needed to do, but mostly it was because I was overly distracted with something else.

To make things interesting this time, I'm going to pretend that I wake up locked into a book-filled room with 24 locks on the door.  For every hour of reading that I complete (at once or in an accumulation of minutes), a lock will become undone. If I fail to undo all said locks before the clock strikes midnight on the final night of the read-a-thon, a red gas, representing my failure, will be set off from the locks, knocking me out for good, and it'll be game over.

Live or die (not in real life mind you), I must make my choice. Will I make the right one? (And by the way, when I do the posts, I will be known as ModMouse as that is my bookcrossing name.) Tune in October 29-November 5 to find out.

Progress On Current Read: The Promise

There was one night within the past week when I couldn't sleep, so I read chapter 17 of The Promise. Last night, during some commercial breaks, I read chapters 18 and 19. That's how far I've gotten on the reading. Needless to say, I didn't meet my goal of finishing the book by today. Maybe I'll have it done by next week.

Read A Bit More This Morning

I read a little bit more of The Promise this morning. I'm up to chapter 17.

As of next week, I plan on having Tuesday be my designated "out and about" day. For that reason, I'm setting myself a goal to have The Promise finished by that morning so that I can release it.

More Morning Reading

I read more of The Promise this morning. I'm up to chapter 14.

Did A Little Reading This Morning

I had some time to spare this morning before taking off to go do my volunteer work at the Doggie Bag. So, I read a little bit of The Promise. I'm up to chapter 13.

Did A Little Reading In The Middle Of The Night

For some reason, I woke up in the middle of the night last night. By "middle of the night" I mean 3 something in the morning, which is part of those AM hours that are considered to still be theorectically night time.

I had a little trouble getting back to sleep, so I picked up my copy of The Promise and read it until I began to nod off. I started on chapter 11 and made it partway into chapter 12. I might read some more later.
