Finished With The Love Killers So Soon After Starting It

I started on The Love Killers last night reading only the first chapter. That took five minutes, which put my reading time total from yesterday to five hours and 18 minutes. The rest of it, which I read this afternoon, took me 2 hours and 23 minutes. That means I read a total of 8 hours and one minute. That means I have 15 hours and 59 minutes to go before hitting the 24 hours.

The next book I will be reading is Rogue's Reward by Jean R. Ewing, which is one of eight books I had bought from Doggie Bag.

Most Productive Day Of Reading In A While

I'm involved with Bookcrossing's latest read-a-thon. I didn't get any reading done yesterday. However, I set myself a goal to read four hours a day for the rest of the time as the basic goal is to accumulate twenty-four hours of reading. For my four hours, I read more of Tender Savage. After  four hours came and went, I decided to finish what was left of the book. I managed to finish the book and get in five hours and thirteen minutes which means I have 18 hours and 47 minutes to go.

Since I am done with Tender Savage, I will need to prepare it for release. I will likely release it on Monday.  The place has yet to be determined.

The next book I will be reading will be The Love Killers by Jackie Collins.

First Sentence On The Last Chapter I Read

Okay, so once in a while, Bookcrossing will have a thread in their "Book Talk"  forum asking for the first sentence of the first book one is reading at the time. One such example can be found here.

I've noticed that, as of late, I haven't had much to say beyond how far along I am on a book, so I'm going to shake things up a bit and give the first sentence of whatever chapter or chapters I've read that day.

For instance, today I read chapter three in Tender Savage. Here's the first sentence:

"Gunter had dropped his sack of wood scraps and bolted before she could reach him and Erica can do no more than pray he had been so mortified by what he had seen he would not rush straight home to tell his mother."

Erica, by the way is the main female in the book.

Progress on Current Read

I made it through chapter two in Tender Savage this afternoon. I don't know if I will be reading more of it tonight or not. I will likely read more of it this weekend.

Progress on Current Read

Today, I started on the book, Tender Savage by Phoebe Conn. I got through the prologue and chapter one.

Released 'The Persian Boy'

I've released my copy of The Persian Boy on a picnic table at Lincoln Park.  It was kind of a nice day today.  Maybe in the warmer months, I'll do more of my releases outdoors.

Sometime today, I'll be getting in at least the first chapter of Tender Savage.

Finished The Persian Boy

Well, I finally finished The Persian Boy today. I read it a little before and after dinner. (Right now, I'm watching Billy Madison.) So, it's officially in the "To Pass Along" category until I release it (which hopefully will be tomorrow).  The next book up for reading is Tender Savage  by Phoebe Conn.

There are days when I haven't done any RAB-PIA. I think I will try to read at least one full chapter per day on whatever book I'm reading until I finish it.
