24-hour Readathon Update #1

Soooo....

I forgot I had to work today (closed at the store) so I'm definitely short about 8 hours+ of the Readathon. I plan to read a little extra tomorrow to make up for that. In the meantime, here's what my journal looks like (just for laughs):

7am: Hour 1
Oops. Overslept.

Just woke up at 840am. Boo. The Johnson is interesting, if a little simplistic.

11pm: Hour 17
Reading: Roseanna
page start: 91
page stop: 167

I've decided that I'm going to knock out some half-finished/in-progress books for the Readathon. Does make choosing a little less crazy...unless you manage to misplace a book under the nightstand (probably fur-ball-assisted) like I did with Roseanna.
