TheresaThoma Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I'm almost done with Walking with Mary. I might find something else to read tonight as well. I certainly have enough books...
TheresaThoma Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Ok Walking with Mary is done for another 172 pages!
AnneLine Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 YAAAAAAY! Let's all keep going... we will have such a nice surprise for Baby Jesus when he wakes up and hears us READING to Him!!!!!!!!!! And I bet Mary and Joseph and the Kings and the Shepherds would love it if we read to them as well!!!!!!
TheresaThoma Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Ok current page count (by my calculations) is 21,720. I think we can make it to 25,000!! Off to go read more!
Deus te Amat Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Doing my best. A Draw of Kings -- Patrick Carr -- 432
Chrysophylax Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Ah! I feel so bad! I'm done with school and I still don't have time for reading! I haven't been to the library recently, and I have things that are two weeks overdue! (Actually, I have been making a little bit of progress on my challenging book, though.)
AnneLine Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Chryso, don't feel badly. NONE of us are doing anywhere near as much reading as last summer. Even DTA and Carter are off their 'feed'... (although DTA is chomping away relentlessly.... and Carter has said she is getting In This House of Brede for Christmas -- and probably will have it read before Sunrise if I know her...). We're just doing what we can. 'Tis that time of year!!! BUT in the days after Christmas... everyone can use some :bible: during the holidays, especially those of us who are happy introverts! In case I don't 'see' the rest of you before Christmas, pray hard, eat enough but not too much, and give the Baby Jesus a kiss for me. AND... don't forget to read to Him!!! Maybe one of us will get to read Him his first Book. I have 'Pat the Bunny' ready and waiting!!!! He is coming..... and we will be there to greet Him, books in hand!

Comingback Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Finished: Breathing Space: A Spiritual Journey in the South Bronx, by Heidi Neumark, 275 pages. Five Lessons from the Carmelite Saints that will Change Your Life, by Connie Rossini, 19 pages. St. Thomas is still stuck in Atlanta, I guess. He did not arrive with the mail. I am still reading Dumb Ox.
AnneLine Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Maybe St. Thomas is having some fun? Or playing in the snow with a friend? Or helping the above friend with his kitchen duties? There are SOOO many ways to Preach the Good News!!!! Edited December 24, 2013 by AnneLine
TheresaThoma Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 We've read almost another 1,000 pages since last post we can do this!
TheresaThoma Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I'm off to "read" an audio book while tidying up my room. Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict should be just the thing!
AnneLine Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) We can certainly try to get this done by midnight Dec 25!!!!! Finished - Stephen White, Blinded, 513 pages!!! Now reading... Stephen White, Dead Time (512 pages) and Perfect Joy of St. Francis, Timmermans (280 pages) Edited December 24, 2013 by AnneLine
EmilyAnn Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I finished Before I Go To Sleep last night - 372 pages It's an excellent book, I thoroughly recommend it. Very unpredictable - you know how it'll end only when you get to read the ending!
AnneLine Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 We have read another 5,688 pages since last count, which leaves us at.... 23,539 documented pages at this moment. We can do this! it's only another 1461 to go !!!!!!! Come on everyone MUSH with those reindeer!!!!! :bible: :bible: :bible:
Comingback Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Just finished Dumb Ox by Chesterton. It was a pretty slow go and I had to stop and think a lot, but I loved it. It was a challenge book. 92 pages x 2.
AnneLine Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 THAT BOOK is a challenge in more ways than one! GOOOD FOR YOU!!!!
TheresaThoma Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Ok Pocket Guide to Sainthood (219 pages) finished
AnneLine Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 Did you give us the 'page' count for your Pope Benedict book on tape?
TheresaThoma Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Still working on it. Can I put it as my challenge book instead of The Diary of St Faustinia? And I believe the page count is 400 pages (for when I finish it)
