End of Event Meme

Just waking up now to complete this:
1. Probably the 23rd. I kept drifting off and finally had to switch from book to computer to stay awake.
2. That's such an individual thing, I found all 3 of my books interesting, but my wife certainly wouldn't.
3. No, I'd have to say from my perspective it went really well.
4. I don't know if one thing stands out as working better than anything else.
5 & 6. I finished 2 (Star Wars: Death Star by Reaves & Perry and The Abbot's Gibbet by Jecks) and started Clothar the Frank by Whyte.
7. The Abbot's Gibbet.
8. I guess Clothar the Frank because I only just started it and I was pretty tired by the time I got there (note denser material should not be saved for final hours)
9. NA
10. Very likely as a reader again.

And so I'm off to get some much needed sleep. The last hour and a half I haven't been able to read a book and keep my eyes open so I've switched to reading Order of the Stick comics on my computer. It kept me going and I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself for making it all the way. Good night all.

Hour 22

In the past hour and 1/2 I've managed 24 pages, but I've grown quite dozy. At this point I think it's sheer stubbernous that is keeping me going. At least in 25 mins the dogs will want to go for a walk, that should keep me going until 6.

Hour 20 & 21

In the last 2 hours I finished the last 51 pages of The Abbots Gibbet by Jecks. Also everyone else in the house has crashed out (not that the dogs are a surprise) but my wife has turned in as well. I'm hoping to finish the last 3 hours strong with Clothar the Frank by Jack Whyte. Last year I made it 21.5 hours so if I hold on for another 36 mins according to my computer I'm up on last year, but I want it all :)

Hour 19

5 hours to go, that sounds like a lot. It's more than 1/2 a work day. Finished another 20 pages and have another 50 to go in my book. If my average holds I should be done in 2 hours.

Hour 18

Added another 32 pages. A little late on this one because I need to do some dog care. I've got a Bichon-Shitzu and a Pug, so they both needed their nightly face cleanings and evening walks. Mostly I'm still going strong and getting close to finishing my second book, yay!

Hour 18 mini challenge

My wife and I are raising funds for the Calgary Public Library's literacy program.
