Kim's mini-challenge!

I went for a very short hike, maybe only 20 minutes. I'll actually go for another one right at dusk, just to keep my muscles loose.

Here are some photos from the woods behind my house.





Hour 11

Title of book(s) read since last update: Father's Arcane Daughter by E.L. Konigsburg.

Number of books read since you started: 1.

Pages read since last update: 21

Running total of pages read since you started: 99

Mini-challenges completed: None so far, but I'm going to participate this hour!

This past hour, I read out on the deck for a while, read on the family room love seat for a while, and read on the couch next to the fire place in the living room. Earlier, I read on the recliner in the living room. Later I plan to read in bed and in the chair in my bedroom. I think it's important to change locations so your body doesn't feel stuck in one position all day.

Here's my spot next to the fireplace!

Hour 10

This hour, I'm reading out on the deck with a mug of tea.

Last hour, I went for a quick hike. I was going to try to get a spooky photo of the cemetery for Carl's mini-challenge, later, but I forgot.

Last hour, my husband baked Ghiradelli brownies! And now I'm off for a short hike while he heads to the store to stock up on snacks for the rest of the read-a-thon.

Here's a picture I took yesterday of a scarf I made for a friend who likes yellow. I love the buttery color! It's hard to tell, but the tassels are a slightly shimmery golden color.

Now it's my turn to be a reader for the next six hours!

Here's a photo I took this morning when it was just getting light out. This poppy may be the last of the flowers in my yard. The white roses went crazy with blooms in early October, but now they're over. The really full bookcase on the right is TBR Mountain!
