bahaha true! Thanks! I do week-long readathons a lot and can average at least 24 hours of reading those weeks, so I figured I could make it to 100 hours this month...but we shall see!

Tyler (tyleralysea) | 25 comments I'm not reading nearly as much as I thought I do- but I do most of my reading usually on the weekends and last weekend was busy, so there's still plenty of time!

Varla Fiona (dory_42) Thanks!


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

I need to get serious about it too! An hour or two every night is not adding up like I thought it would! I thought I'd get more reading time on weekends, but my weekends have been CRAZY so far! No reading time!


message 32: by Kel (new)

Kel | 66 comments Sorry I'm not going to be able to complete this one. It's way too difficult for me to keep track. I surrender.


message 33: by Tyler (new)

Tyler (tyleralysea) | 25 comments I'm hoping slow and steady wins the race cause I still have 30ish more hours to go! Eeek!

Carrie (carrieaj) You guys are doing great.


message 35: by Ciska (new)

Ciska (ciska_vander_lans) | 73 comments YAY I am over the 48 hours. I will keep writing it down though cause I am curious how far I will get but I think the 100 hours set by Jennifer are a bit to much.

Haha me too. I just got to 50 today. I'll be lucky if I hit 75 =)

message 39: by Heather (new)

Heather | 29 comments I am a day ahead of most or everyone here, so I will finish the challenge before it actually ends. :)


message 40: by Thalia (new)

Thalia (thaliaanderson) I actually finished, even though I haven't been keeping track here! I've been keeping a log of my hours, and I'm at some thirty-six since the 8th, and I definitely had nore than twelve hours before then. (: So done!


message 41: by Ciska (new)

Ciska (ciska_vander_lans) | 73 comments Ok I need another 2 hours for 75 which means I will hit that today. I will not make it to 100 but I might make it to 90.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

48 hours complete! This was a difficult challenge for me, in that it was difficult for me to remember to write down my time. Getting the time was not a problem, but remembering to write it down sure was. :)


Melissa (ladybug) | 113 comments Congrats everyone! :D


message 44: by Heather (new)

Heather | 29 comments Wow 48 hours completed! I made it a challenge to myself to make sure that I stopped by everyday and do my times. My hardest part was the last couple of days. Life been busy this last week and getting my hours in was hard but I did it. Loking forward to next month! :)
