She actually didn't read faster than normal for her, or more than she had already planned to, for the record. :)

*chuckles* Well, considering that I read about 200 words or more in a two hour stretch, I don't need that much time to actually read. I just like to read. I have always read a great deal. I definitely don't have thirty hours a day, not with a full-time job and school, so don't worry about that. ;)

200 pages, you mean? You read 200 words in something like 10 seconds, like me, Hannah. :)

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Ya'll are pathetic celebrators... where's all the post-readathon excitement? What about potentially winning a book even though you didn't win the contest? Where's the suspense, the congratulations, etc? Come on! Get all excited!

Location: No; where is YOUR location?
I've recently been reading Ted Dekker's "the lost books." They are pretty good! About 250 pages each. I've read 4 of them this summer! Along with maze runner (about 450 pages or so), and treasure island by Mark Twain (about 400 pages also). It's been a crazy summer so I haven't had much reading time...

Places 1-4,6 shipped on Monday. The random drawings will ship sometime after they're announced, which will be soon. This week sometime, we hope. We're still waiting to hear back from Place 5.
