ChristinaTherese Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm not going to claim full LoTH credit.... Maybe partial though. Like 50-75%. I've not been that good, and then I've basically dropped it entirely these last couple of weeks. I do like it, but it just doesn't fit my life right now all the time. Over breaks it's good, but during school.... I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comingback Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Last night finished A Distant Prospect by Annette Young. 610 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think I will claim a 50% LOTH credit as well. I have a book in progress and I will see if I can get it finished. I think we can do 100.000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think I'll take 50% for LOTH. I know I've done more than that (all the offices for a few weeks at least), but I'd rather claim less than more. Also, I finished A Distant Prospect, so I think I'll claim the 610 pages that Amazon lists. And now I have A Tale of Two Cities and The Fault in our Stars waiting in the wings. I think I'll take The Fault in our Stars first.... But I probably won't finish either before midnight tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 WOW! Maximillion, thank you for rising out of the swamp where you live (saw your prayer request) and reading with us!!! I calculated that Morning & Evening & Office of Readings and Night prayer is about 200 pages a month during last challenge. That's a super-conservative estimate, it's probably closer to 300 pages. But it does add up to a chunk of reading with God and that is worth something! So... you can figure out how much of that you want to claim, but you're easily able to get 400 pages for Advent - Candlemas (or a percentage) if desired. I think it can be an inducment to do a more regular praying of the hours. CT, when I was in school, my spiritual director said it is really hard to get the LOTH schedule to jive with the academic schedule UNLESS one is in an environment where everyone stops to pray it. (That's why St. Dominic had his friars do sung office, BTW... to get their heads out of their books!!!!) :bible: :pray: :bible: Any books COMPLETED during the period Dec 1 thru Feb 2 midnight wherever you are can be counted. (And I think almost completed is count-able). We did decide a while ago, however, that partial books don't count.... because otherwise most of us could claim half of the library of congress!!! Sadly, because I don't think I'm gonna be able to finish Study Ed of Story of a Soul... :( BUT I THINK WE CAN DO 100,000 TOO!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comingback Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've been home from Tennessee for about an hour and have finished my St. Thomas! Have been going slow and steady and actually did it! Shorter Summa, by St. Thomas Aquinas, 412 pages. This was my challenge book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 WOW!!!! Nice!!!!!! Do you want to designate another challenge? You got about 30 hours... you could still make a killing here... :hehe2: :coffee: :reaper: :bible: :bible: :bible: :reaper: :coffee: :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 And... anyone object if we give all the students the 'student reading credit'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comingback Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The only book I'm working on is Fault and the knitting book I was reading for the St. Agnes challenge, which went ploomp. The knitting book is not hard and is not something I've put off. I still have to finish Opening to God, though. Keep putting it down to read other stuff. I'll consider that my challenge and see how it goes. About a third of the way through Fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
