I'm going to take it real easy this time. No pressure on me!<br /><br />Lisa, I really berated myself for reading to see how many pages I can make - at that point I was actually intensely fascinated with the fast-readers and wanted to see how much I could read too. What a sorry decision, but at least it was a valuable lesson, and I won't be curious about that anymore.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-52434547163382541152010-10-06T23:05:36.733-04:002010-10-06T23:05:36.733-04:00It's so easy to get caught up in the "loo...It's so easy to get caught up in the "look how many pages I read" hoopla. Some people are just really fast readers and some just like to see how much they can push themselves. But you've got the right idea--allot yourself time to read and then enjoy it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-28272037232253767262010-10-06T22:32:20.872-04:002010-10-06T22:32:20.872-04:00Yay Aths!

Hope to be in your team! :)<br /><br />Marg, I have a feeling that I will end up cheering, LOL! If I do, at least I know what I will be doing during the next readathon. :)<br /><br />Aleksandra, that's my plan too! Mostly I want to have fun!<br /><br />Christine, well, good luck to you! Just make sure you take it easy because I didn't take it easy during my first readathon and I suffered for it.<br /><br />Kathy, my thoughts are with you, Kathy. I hope you have a nice weekend.<br /><br />Helen, so glad to have you in too! Yay for buddies!<br /><br />Brenna, I missed a lot of blog events because of my schedule - that can suck, but I hope you can join in next year!<br /><br />Juju, really?
