read-a-thon update 6
Since last post:
Time spent (since last update):
--Reading: 90 minutes
--On computer (blogging, commenting/cheering, mini-challenges): 30 minutes
--Other (pet care, cooking, etc.): 20 minutes
Between the covers:
--Number of pages: 78 pages
--What I read: Started Double Cross by James Patterson. I just wasn't up for starting something else that was going to make all emotional, so I went with a book that I knew would be quick, easy, and suspenseful...but wouldn't have me crying.
Down the hatch:
--Food: three pieces of frozen pizza, a mini peppermint patty
--Drink: 2 glasses of ice water
Cumulatively:
Time spent:
--Reading: 500 minutes
--On computer (blogging, commenting/cheering, mini-challenges): 155 minutes
--Other (pet care, cooking, etc.): 65 minutes
Between the covers:
--Number of pages: 395 pages.
--What I've read: Finished last 10 pages of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.
Down the hatch:
--Food: piece of raspberry coffeecake, 2 soft pretzels, 2 M&M cookies, 3 pieces of frozen pizza, a mini peppermint patty
--Drink: two large mugs of coffee, a glass of Coke, a huge mug of hot tea, 2 glasses of ice water

LOL! I'm loving getting a list of everything you're eating...if it makes you feel any better, I just put a corndog in the oven :p You're doing awesome Debi!
I've heard that the Cross books would have made great read-a-thon books (according to my coworker).
And I love hearing about what you're eating. I'm pouring the can of honey roasted peanuts down my throat as I type. ;)
It's great how you're grazing all day. I'm sort of doing that now, too, though I didn't eat anything between breakfast and lunch.
Remind me next time (April!) to steal your updating template!
mmm..Raspberry coffee cake sounds good!
after seeing that you were posting what you were eating, i decided to do the same. just for historical purposes. :)
i think James Patterson is a good read-a-thon pick; lots of dialogue, so it's quick reading - as well as suspenseful. i wish i'd gotten one of his from the library this week.
I'm glad you liked The Graveyard Book... I'm saving it for later.
Peppermint patties are the best treats ever. I used to read James Patterson a lot maybe I will start again.
I love the food list, but did find your regret about posting it hilarious!

I think you've covered the major food groups here - sweet, salty, crunchy, and gooey, and the mint is like brushing your teeth.
Keep having fun!
Yes, another emotional read after The Graveyard Book would be too much for me too!
I love the food totals :D
