Read-a-thon Hour 5



Hour 5! How the day flies by.

Check out Dewey's 24-hour read-a-thon for hourly updates, mini-challenges, prizes, and other distractions.

My update:

Reading: Maurice by E.M. Forster

On page: 542 (it started on page 525!)

Favorite bit: 'Church was the only place Mrs Hall had to go to -- the shops delivered.' (532)

Eating: Homemade butter tablet.

Listening to: Kids screaming downstairs.

Distracted by: Doreen reading me some poetry by Lorraine Mariner from the collection Furniture.

Oh, and another big distraction was finding a tick crawling on my hand! I blame my husband for bringing them in on his clothes, since I haven't done anything out of doors for several weeks now.

I squished it.

  4. Thanks, everyone! I'm not reading as much as I should be (my friend and I are too talkative).

    Flutter your pompoms away!

  5. Ugh, tick! We had a bee or wasp or something in the apartment about an hour ago. That was a little scary. Happy Read-a-Thon!
