Basically one chapter at a time with breaks in between would not possible to finish a 600+ pages book in 10 hours! Who was I kidding?
Maybe non-stop 10 hours would stand a chance but to combine reading and normal living is harder than I thought it would be.
But of course I am determined to finish it before the week ends, I can’t stand seeing it within my reach and not reading it. My daughter asked me last night what is the thick hard book all about. When I told her it’s Harry Potter, she inquisitively asked for it and skimmed through the pages. Words, words and all words…! at least the US version had some illustration/sketches on it. She gave it back to me and told me she’ll borrow it when she can read. Right.
After the lights were off and I could hear Pristine’s soft snore, I switched places with M to have access to the bedside lamp. Opened the HP book once again, rubbed my eyes and readied my guts. After 5 minutes, I surrendered to the temptation of my pillow.
It feels funny to sleep on the wrong side of the bed. Literally! I am so sleepy today not because I had an all-night reading (although I wish I did) but because I kept on tossing and turning last night. That side of the bed wasn’t just right. Sue me but I can’t even sleep if I am not using my own pillow!

lil pristine’s so charming! you should be proud.
ka bright sa anak oi! hehehe… correct- she’ll borrow when she can read it. grace- you are really right- it’s time to spread the genes by creating more smart little ones like pristine!
and about HP– I still have to get hold a copy of the series so I can join the bandwagon!
That’s so funny about sleeping on the other side of the bed. It just feels “wrong”, doesn’t it???
Good luck with finishing the book. For me, HP is going to be like Seinfeld. I’ll get to it once everyone else in the entire world is so done with it.
I can’t sleep on the wrong side of the bed either. Even when we travel we always end up sleeping on the same side that we would at home. WEIRD!
Pristine is GORGEOUS!
