The challenge is done!

Wednesday 30th Sep Another hour and one last book finished! Thank you everyone that donated, you are amazing ❤️ Despite having 3 days of not reading at the beginning of the month I still managed to read for 51 hours this September! Share

One day left!

Tuesday 29th Sep Read for an hour today, will probably be an hour again tomorrow and then this book will be finished and so will this challenge! After I read tomorrow I am going to total up how many hours I read for the whole month. Share

3 hours and another book done!

Monday 28th Sep A very easy 3 hours today and I finished the book, I really enjoyed it! I have picked a graphic novel for my last book of September and to finish off this challenge probably don’t need to days to finish it but it feels weird starting a big book at the very end of the month. I want to start October with a whole new book! Share

It’s done! Target has been achieved!

Sunday 27th Sep Massive thank you to everyone that has donated! I’m so very grateful to everyone for donating 💗 in other news I absolutely loving this book! A very easy two hours today let’s see how much I can read tomorrow I have a feeling I will either first this book or be very close to finishing! Share

New book!

Saturday 26th Sep Two and half hours of reading today! And I must say I am enjoying this book the only reason I have stopped reading is because I have a headache so I may add some more hours after my painkillers kick in! Share

Finally finished!

Friday 25th Sep A hour and 50 minutes and I am finished! Not a terrible book but not the best thing to read after reading a Carl! I’m still incredibly sad that I have to wait for the next Carl to be released! Now to pick my next book to finish off the challenge! Share

Reading buddies!

Thursday 24th Sep Two and a half hours of reading today! Feeling confident that I will finish the book tomorrow. Hopefully the sun will be out again tomorrow and I can enjoy reading in the garden again. Today I was joined by two little friends! Share

Progress report!

Wednesday 23rd Sep Just over an hour today but I did manage to get through a decent amount of pages in that hour! Let’s see what tomorrow brings! Share

Progress report!

Tuesday 22nd Sep Two hours today! Book feels like it’s starting to pick up so hopefully tomorrow I will read for longer! I am craving a storm so I can get cosy while I read! Share

Challenge update!

Monday 21st Sep Only 15 more minutes than yesterday but 2 hours sounds better than an hour and 45 so I will take it 😂 still trying to get into this one but I am sure I it will grab me soon! Share

Autumn vibes!

Sunday 20th Sep An hour and 45 minutes of reading! I was distracted by games and I am not sorry in the slightest 😂 I will be good tomorrow and sit down and read properly! ( mostly because I want to read one of my new books but I need to finish this one first) Share

Only one hour done today!

Saturday 19th Sep In my defence I started a book from my tbr pile and then got two new books for my birthday so they have been calling to me and I am still sad I finished reading Carl! Tomorrow is another day! Share

4 hours!

Friday 18th Sep A full 4 hours of reading and I finished A parade of Horribles! A bitter sweet moment as now I have to wait god knows how long for the next book in the series 😩 for now I must pick a new book! Share

A respectable 2 hours

Thursday 17th Sep 2 hours of reading and nearly at the 80% mark in the book! Tomorrow I want to see how big of a dent I can make! Share

Slow day

Wednesday 16th Sep Only managed an hour and 40 minutes today 😩 went for a walk earlier and it wiped me out! Definitely a reminder to me that my body is still healing! Let’s see what tomorrow brings! Share

Suns out!

Tuesday 15th Sep I took advantage of the sun and sat out in the garden reading today! And made it back to 3 hours of reading! Hopefully tomorrow is sunny again so I can get back out there! Share

Progress Report

Monday 14th Sep Not quite 3 hours today but 2 hours and 45 minutes is good! Fingers crossed tomorrow is a better day! Share

Done it again!

Sunday 13th Sep 3rd day of hitting the 3 hour mark! And I reached the 50% point in the book! I am definitely behind where I wanted to be in regards to how far I am in the book but like I said before slow progress is still progress! I am hoping the constant judgement from Pippin will keep me going! Share

Another 3 hours!

Saturday 12th Sep Second day in a row that we hit the 3 hour mark! Hoping to do the same tomorrow and also reach the halfway point in my book! Share

Another progress report!

Friday 11th Sep A very good day on the reading front! 3 hours of reading DCC, I’m not sure how I forgot that if I listen to music while I am reading I don’t get as distracted! On top of reading my book I read auntosport magazine for about 30 minutes ( put Max Verstappen on the cover I am there!) while waiting for my hospital appointment, speaking of hospitals I am now drain, hospital and compression sock free! Fingers crossed for a long time! All in all today has been a very good day! Share

Today’s progress report

Thursday 10th Sep A much better day for reading! Just over two hours and not a nap in sight! Hopefully tomorrow will be equally as productive but when I said that last week things went down hill very quickly! For now here was my reading spot for the morning, I did have to fight Miss Pip for my breakfast 😂 Share

Progress report!

Wednesday 9th Sep Definitely feeling more human today but still falling asleep at the drop of a hat! Managed just over an hour of reading and now 20% through my book. Listen I am a slow reader and even slower at the moment 😂 Share

Home at last!

Tuesday 8th Sep After 5 days in the hospital I am home in my own bed and getting in the reading hours! Thank you so much to everyone that has donated so far! Means a lot to me ❤️ the plan now is to read and rest! But this time from home! Share

Missing in action!

Monday 7th Sep So despite my best intentions of getting loads of reading done my body had other plans the last 3 days! Back into hospital on Friday morning due to pain and complications from my surgery earlier in the week but today I felt up to reading! Managed ah hour and now I am ready to sleep! Share

Progress update!

Thursday 3rd Sep Only an hour and 19 minutes of reading today but much more productive as I finished 56 pages today! The painkillers are doing their job with the pain but also knocking me out! Let’s see what tomorrow brings and see if I can get my book out from under Pippin! Share

Today’s reading buddy!

Wednesday 2nd Sep Slow progress today! Took me a hour and half to read 29 pages 😅 listen I’m a sleepy girl at the moment! I did have a very cute reading/napping buddy today even if he was after my rich tea biscuits and eggy bread! Share

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! Organ theft!

Tuesday 1st Sep You have a successfully had an organ removed You did that willingly? Weird but ok Reward no random attacks of pain so bad you think you are gonna die This achievement comes with a temporary debuff of pain and the feeling that someone has been rummaging around inside you, news flash someone was rummaging around inside you! Despite having surgery this morning I was determined to read today! I didn’t manage a full hour but I still read! This year has seen my start a new tradition of reading the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book and today I started book 8! A bitter sweet moment as I will have to wait for the next book to be written before I can read it! Share

My reading goal

Friday 21st Aug This September I have decided to challenge myself to read for an hour or more each day and at the same time try and raise some money for this amazing charity!  Share
