Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon: Hours 5-8

Local Time : 2:00 p.m. MST




We're moving right along here. Getting into the swing of things and figuring out how to work my new system to minimize distractions from reading. I haven't participated in as many mini-challenges as last year, but I'm enjoying seeing everyone else's ideas and responses. 


For the next four hours, the goal is to do a bit more Instagramming, eat some lunch, check up on the progress of a few friends, and then get rolling on my third book of the read-a-thon. Darian's goals? Get comfy. (And probably try and sneak more string cheese...he's already eaten three.)

  2. You're doing so well - and congratulations on avoiding distractions and reading! I've been the opposite this time around and I've read a fraction of my usual page count so far. Oh well...

    Get comfy, enjoy your reading - and all hail the string cheese! :P

    1. A fraction? I still think you've done quite well. I'm trying to figure out what I've done with all of those other minutes...
