Hours 4-6 of the #rrreadathon


Total books read 2.25
Total pages read so far: 467
Total time read: 480 mins
I took of 30 mins instead of 15 to feed the kids that did not appreciate it oh well. Back to reading
I am currently reading The Hardy Boys The Tower Treasure and it is good so far a lot better than Evermore I wonder when these Authors are gonna realize that the appeal of the book will wane in about 5 years. Heck Oprah will not have a show after 2011 and I am not sure how long DrPhil will last.

Hours 3-5


Number of books read so far: 1.5 books still.
Number of pages read: 226 pages
Number of pages total: 420pages
Book Currently reading: Evermore
Mom duties changing a pullup and setting up tv. In this next hour coming up I will make lunch for the kids. I hope to finish Evermore by the next update in a few hours.

Hours 2-3 of the #rrreadathon


Books read : 1.5
Books completed: 1 Fade by Lisa McCann
Number of pages read so far:264
Meal: I cherry twizzler. I don't really eat while I read.
Hours spent reading : 2hr and 25 mins
I am doing pretty good with my reading so far I am on schedule for my goal. The only problem I am having now is that the constant interruptions from the kids. I am also having trouble getting into Evermore because it is too pop culturish. Which can get very annoying. Fade was much better cause it left all that type of stuff out. I understand that it is a YA book but they need to see that this stuff they are writing will seem archaic too the current generations children.

Hour 1 of the #RRReadathon










Books completed: 0

Pages read:94
Mins spent reading 45.
Listening to Pandora Quick Mix Station
Ate: Nothing but that will change the next hour
The next hour I hope to Finish Fade since I have less than 100 pages left. I willo then move on to Evermore by Alyson Noel.
Feeling accomplished now off to make the kids some oatmeal and read for 45 more mins

Starting post for the #rrreadathon


I am officially starting the rrreadathon now my goal is to finish at least 12 books the first book I will begin with is Fade by Lisa McCann. During my rrreadathon I will be listening to twitter and of course taking breaks to tend to the kids. Good luck to everyone participating. I will update every hour to 2hours and of course alternating commenting on two people above and two people below me.
Good Luck all
Thanks to Dreadlockgirl for making this possible.

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!

Todays teaser comes from Betrayed by P.C. and Kristen Cast.

I made my way over to the long, linen-draped table that ran the length of one wall. It was filled with expensive cheese and meat platters, desserts, coffee, tea, and wine. I'd been at the House of Night for a month, and it still was shocking to me that wine is served so readily here.(pg6)

What is your teaser
