Update the 3rd: End of hour 4

Posted on June 28, 2008 | 13 Comments

Currently reading: The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

Pages read since last update: 94
Running total of pages read since I started: 258

Amount of time spent reading since last update: 75 minutes
Running total of time spent reading since I started: 205 minutes

Mini-challenge this hour: I plan to participate in Lori’s cover collage challenge, but I don’t have to post about that right now. :p

Prize you’ve won: none yet
Books completed since I started: 1: Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Comments about this hour: Better. Still not getting many minutes in per hour for reading though! :/ Stardust was really good. I think the distance I had between the movie and the book was beneficial, and that I saw the film first, also. My husband called this [film] the next Princess Bride.

wow – I loved Stardust the movie (have yet to read, it’s on tbr) and I, too, said it was almost another Princess Bride! but my Hub thinks PB is much better. whatever.

Thanks for helping with the RAT prizes!

I’ve heard that Princess Bride comparison before. I hope you enjoy the Alexander McCall Smith! I haven’t read that series yet, but I’ve read and really enjoyed some of his other books.

Happy reading, and thanks for all the great work

Glad you are enjoying the Detective Agency books – I’ve really liked them a lot. I’ve never heard of Stardust, so I think I’m going to have to borrow, but not until I’ve seen the movie. : )
