Well, since I last posted I fell asleep again for another hour and 1/2 or so. I was hoping to sleep only until the buzzer went off for the laundry, but my husband turned it off when it started to ring, to let me sleep more. I probably did need it, but it meant my nap was about an hour and 1/2 instead of just 30 minutes.
So far I’ve slept for 3 or so hours, done laundry, gone to the library and the store, and made dinner. In the midst of that I’ve read about 600 pages and listened to a little over 2 hours of audiobooks. Since I haven’t been able to sleep through the night lately anyway, I plan on 2 more longer naps, maybe 3 or so hours each, and to keep reading the rest of the time. opefully I can finish at least the book I’m reading now and one other. So far I’ve finished “The Book Thief” and the audiobook of “The Uncommon Reader.”
I’m currently reading “The King’s Confidante” by Jean Plaidy and listening to Abraham Verghese’s “Cutting for Stone.”
Way to multitask! I probably should have done some laundry today but I’ll just have to settle for doing it tomorrow.
Happy reading, you’re doing great!!!

Based on what I’ve seen, I’d say you are probably the most productive! Good for you!

I have a big pile of Plaidy’s and have not read any of them! I really need to remedy that. Hope your nap refreshed you!
You’re having a fantastic read-a-thon!
With all the posting and updating I am not getting too much reading done. You were smart to work some laundry in. I will have to do that tomorrow. I am just now getting my second wind so I hope to really hit the reading trail hard to make up for all the distractions today.
It’s good to take naps – you need to take care of yourself of course!!
Happy reading!
I’m glad you got some sleep. Mommies need that. Okay, you’re ahead of me on The Uncommon Reader. Must get started, now!

You’re doing great! I agree with hubby, you need the rest. Gotta take care of the little one. I’ve read bits and pieces of a few books so none really finished.

Wish I was doing the readathon today but I didn’t hear back from anyone and don’t feel part of the booking community.
anyway, I’ve heard that The Book Thief is a great book. I’ve been meaning to read it for so long. Bought it at library book sale . . .
I’m sorry you didn’t join us, it is actually a good way to become part of the community because of the tradition of cheerleaders in the Readathon. I’m not suer what you mean by nobody got back to you, did you email the Readathon organizers?
