- If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? wasn't a cheerleader, but they were great motivators.

Update:
From 9:38 to 10:00 so 22 minutes I listened to page 117 to pg 128 in 44 Cranberry Point by Debbie Macomber. That is a total of 11 pages.
Then it was time to start a new book. I went upstairs and made my bed. Then I read this book before I went to sleep. from 10:15 to 10:35 I read pg 0 to pg 17 in Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. That is a total of 20 minutes and 17 pages.
I took a quick 5 minute break and returned to continued reading Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. I read from 10:40 to 11:10 p.m. central time which is 30 minutes and I read from pg 17 to pg 33 which is a total of 16 pages.
Cumulative Total:
Time Read: 8 hours 6 minutes
Pages Read:296 pages
I'm so proud of myself. I may have only read a 1/3 of the time the read-a-thon was going on, but I have never read that many pages in a day so I'm really proud of myself. I loved participating in Dewey's Read-a-thon and would love to do it again in October. I can't wait to read everybody else's posts.

Great job. It sounds like you got a lot of reading in. Hope to see you again in October!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteEveryone seems to have enjoyed it! I'm hoping on participating in October. Since I am a night person, I think I'd have more trouble in the morning lol
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I was going to ask. You didn't or are not liking Under the Never Sky? It was not how I hoped but I enjoyed it
DeleteI actually quit Under the Never Sky. I was one hundred pages in and I did not know what was going on so I returned it to the library and checked out another book.
