Stopping for tonight. I managed 7 hours and 30 minutes today. Add that to yesterday's 1 hour, 15 minutes and I'm up to a total of 8 hours 45 minutes so far. All of today's reading was a historical young adult novel set in the 1930s. It's a work-in-progress I'm critiquing for a friend. I'm almost at the end, but my eyes are getting tomorrow. I hope to finish it tomorrow. Read More

Finished Reading My First Book for the 48-Hour Challenge

I'd started the book earlier in the day, so it didn't take long to finish, since it's a chapter book aimed at grades 2-4. Fun, light romp.
Now the tough part: deciding what to read next. Read More
