I'm so impressed you know your numbers so exact! You're doing great!

Amanda said...

Wait - 462 pages, and you say you're not a fast reader?? Thats not at ALL true Debi! You're doing fantastic.

Care said...

HUZZAH! (I've always wanted to use this word and it just doesn't sound right spoken...)

Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanity said...

Hmmm--what is Skim? Can't wait to hear all about it! I just started Fun Home and am loving it.

Look at you Debi! You're doing awesome! I'm starting to feel sleepy...I'm trying to decide if I want a short nap or not? hmmm. I'm so glad that you enjoyed Skim too and that we both read it for the readathon :D For some reason, that makes me super happy!

I think I may have a little too much coke myself. I bouncing off the walls a few hours ago and now... yeah. lol. Keep up the great job! We're halfway there!

Great job Debi!! Even if you don't read super fast, you're getting a ton accomplished!

Eva said...

You're doing great! :D

Maree said...

Doing great; keep it up! :)

Bellezza said...

Would Skim be a Japanese book?(Are you sure you want to blog with someone who has to ask that? I'm just curious because Tamaki rings of Japanese to me...)

I noticed that you don't have an nap time clocked. I'm very impressed that anyone can read for 300 plus minutes without a nap in there.

Maybe next time this rolls around I can join in. In the meantime, I hope you know I joined you vicariously.
