Books Read These Hours: Faerie Tale, Fantastic Stories by Terry Jones.
Pages Read These Hours: 35, 48
Total Pages Read: 169
Books Completed:Faerie Tale
Mini-Challenges Participated In: 2, plus I visited the readers of the hour twice
Time Spent Reading These Hours: 50 minutes, 40 minutes
Remaining Time Spent... Going to the bathroom, petting the cats, walking a bit because my back hurt.
Total Time Spent Reading: 3 hours and 15 minutes
Mugs of Coffee/Tea drank: 3

Comments: I finished Faerie Tale! The ending was intense, but a few things about it were a little disappointing. All in all, though, still a evry enjoyable book. Now I'm reading the Terry Jones book, and my number of pages increased because it has lots of pretty pictures by Michael Foreman. It's a tiny book (80 pages), so I should finish it within the next hour. I will also grab some dinner and visit my fellow read-a-thoners. I hope everyone's having a great time!

  1. I have stopped reading as my mind told me to rest. After a long working day, I couldn't take it any more. You are doing well.

    Have fun, reading!

  10. If your kitties anything are like our kitties, I'll bet you're doing a lot of petting while you're reading, too!

  11. Debi, my cat abandoned me *cries* Well, he was here for the first 9 hours and I expect he'll be back later, but I wanted to sound dramatic for a bit :P

    Thanks for the comments, everyone! Fantastic Stories is not a graphic novel, just a collection of short stories with illustrations, but I do have some graphic novels saved for later!

  14. Oh no! I'm sorry to hear the stories were a little disappointing.

    And I keep forgetting to walk around as well! Sounds like a good plan.
