Comments: Ended up spending a lot of time on Goodreads at the beginning of this block. So I listened to quite a bit of Cujo. And I'm not really liking it. It's less about the dog and more about shitty people and sex? Meh.
I ended up taking Bazaar of Bad Dreams outside for 40 minutes to read on my deck. The sun came out and was quite nice. Then it got too windy.
I got to Blockade Billy and skipped it as I already read it separately a few weeks ago. So I subtracted those pages from how many pages I read in the book. This will happen again when I get to Drunken Fireworks because I listened to that last October! lol.
Less than 100 pages left of Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Time to make my cucumber kiwi salsa and continue listening to Cujo. Hope it gets better.

Comments: Switching to a graphic novel was a good idea. I needed the change. But I found that the lighting in my library and living room are lacking for graphic novels! lol. I listened to more of Cujo, I read The Long Road Home, I read some of The Waste Lands, and I started reading Carrie! Variety is the spice of life! lol. This is where I start fading...

Comments: I ended up pulling out one more graphic novel before succumbing to the bed. I ended up pulling out one more graphic novel before succumbing to the bed. The peanut M&Ms helped a little bit in reinvigorating me at midnight. lol. I listened to Cujo and set a timer for 30 minutes. I fell asleep towards the end of that 30 minutes so I went to bed. My husband came to bed at 3:40am and I hadn't really fell deep asleep at this point. I *almost* got back up but I was so warm and cozy. lol. I had my alarm set for 5am but I changed it to 6am at this point. Now it's 6:15am and I'm going to listen to Cujo for the rest of the readathon and I should finish it just in time!
