Dewey's Read-a-thon: Update #1

We're entering Hour 7 now. I've read for a total of 3 hours and I've just finished my first book, The Calling by Kelley Armstrong (326 pages). This book is the second of her Darkness Rising series, and it felt very much like a second book of a trilogy: a lot of character development, some revelations but still lots of threads hanging. There was plenty of fast-paced action, though, so it was a perfect read-a-thon selection.

Kate had to attend a two-hour rehearsal with her strings school this morning, which was why I got first dibs at this book. While waiting for me to finish, she started on Scrivener's Moon by Philip Reeve. After an hour of reading, she decided she'd better put some time into her homework but promises to read more later in the afternoon.

I've also spent a little bit of time visiting other blogs. It's great to see how everyone else is progressing.

    CHEERS!!!

    My daughter and I had to share the trilogy of The Hunger Games! It was tough! And then MY mom got in on the action too. I'm sure it would have been hilarious for an outsider watching us!

    Great job finishing! Looking forward to more updates!

    Thank you for your cheering ! You too, do your best ! I agree that reading with someone else on the same book is the funniest. One can comment at each line (almost) !
