I am on pg 244/500 in Woman in Love the next hour is my last of this book cause I tend to get bored with a book after 4 straight hours that is why I read so many at a time. I am not a fast reader but I think I am doing pretty good considering my circumstances

Hour 6 of Dewey's Read-a-thon

I read 30 pages this hour which is a new record for me. I am on page 212 of 500 on Women in love so far so good the pace is picking up a bit on this one. My mood is ok. I get frustrated with the interruptions from my kids. They keep fighting of course and they have been fed lunch and are now looking for dinner. They did not last through the movie. My son constantly keeps telling me his is bored but when I offer him suggestions he turns them down. Go figure. At his rate I think I will need a Valium.

Current # of pages read 113.

Hour 5 of Dewey's Read- a- thon

I have moved on to Women in Love by DH Lawerence. As I said before this is not one of my favorite but its readable. I am on page 182/500. I have read 18 pages so far this hour cause of minor interruptions but the kids are fed and they are watching Sleeping Beauty so that should give me at least 45 mins of solid reading and I hope to get deeper into the novel. I will probably wont get to my goal but hope to complete on book and be almost done with several.

78 pages read so far. Hopefully my pace will pick up.

Hour 4 of the Read-A-Thon

Hour 4

I completed my goal in the book of Presidents of America. I made it from Madison to John Quincey Adams. A lot went on during those times with many wars still against the British. There was even an Indian Revolt head by Tecumsah. So now I am moving on to Women in Love for the next few hours. I am doing this book for another challenge group and also for the ABC challenge. This book is slow going for me so maybe this read-a-thon will help me catch up to where I need to be so I can finish it by the 30th of this month.

Pages read so far 65
Mins read since the beginning 120 mins. I tend to read 30 mins of the hour because of my twitter addiction and blogging lol.

Goal 65/1000

Updates for the 24 hr Reathon the first 3 hrs

Hour 1 update:
This hour I chose to read the Completed Illustrated Guide to Presidents of America by Professor Jon Roper. I only managed to read about 27 pages. Right now I am playing the role of a single parent since my hubby is deployed. So far its this book I have read through the Pre-Revolutionary war up to the the writing and signing of the Constitution I have not yet gotten to the start of the Presidents. I plan to read this book up to President Madison since that is how far I have gotten in the Presidents videos on the History Channel series.
So far everything is going great except for constant interruptions.

Pages read so far: 27pgs.

1. What I am reading today is stated above.
2. Three facts about me are I am doing this while my husband is deployed and my kids are around, I love to read and I will be tweeting my progress a little while doing this.
3. I have 8 book in my TBR pile will I finish them probably no where near.
4. My goals to make it through this challenge sane lol. I hope to read at least 1000pgs
5. I am a veteran and my advice is to take breaks and don't try to be superhero its alright if you need to sleep.

Hour 2
I have only managed to read 8 pages this hour again more interruptions I am at the point of frustration that my kids seem to be the only ones in America that can not entertain themselves and constantly fight each other. Any I have made it as far as how the electoral college was established into George Washington's Presidency to the duel of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr up to the beginning of the Presidency of John Adams. I learned that there was problems with with Bipartisanship even in the earlier days of the presidency.

Hour 3

I am almost to my daily goal for this particular book. I think I will finish my goal in the 4th hour. So far I have read 50 pages which is a long way from my goal hopefully my pace will pick up the book is a rather large book so it will take longer than a normal size book to read the pages. In the particular hour I read from the end of John Adams Presidency to the Beginning of James Madison's presidency.
