I feel like I cheated a little, because, while Life on the Refrigerator Door is 217 pages, most pages consist of something like this:
Claire,
We need to talk. I'm in my room.
I love you, Mom
But 217 pages it was, and 217 pages I'm counting. Laura is mad because she doesn't read quickly. :-) I need to tell her to take a break from Artemis Fowl and read something quick, for a sense of accomplishment.
I'm starving, so I'm taking a dinner break!
The 9-year-old boys switched houses, so this was a much calmer hour!

Oh my gosh, you're doing great - look at all those pages you've read!!! Congrats on being the Reader of the Hour!
Hey - you need books like that every once in a while - believe me!
Happy Reading!
Darn right you should count each and every one of those pages!
And I second your suggestion to Laura!
Your suggestion is a great one. Feeling accomplished is definitely important.
I am impressed with the number of pages you have read too. (and it counts even if the spaces are large, LOL)
That sounds like a neat book (the mother-daughter one): did you enjoy it? And it's totally not cheating!!
I would be counting those pages too! Good reading!
Somer, I got completely lost following some of the blogs that you read. My favorites were Overdue Books and Books for Breakfast. Congratulations on being Reader of the Hour.
I love the way you are deviding your reading up. You are doing great, keep up the great work!!!
Hey, those "cheater" books are perfect for the read-a-thon. I figure it boosts your morale to read a book you can finish quickly, anyhow. That's great that your daughter is reading with you! Both of you - keep up the good reading! =D
i've got Life on the Refrigerator Door on my to-read list. i wish i'd thought of picking it up at the library for today! i can use every page i can get. :)
