D'oh! On the bright side, things can only get better for the July one :D

I managed all three prompts. Audio books are awesome! No way I'd ever have the time to read 3 print books totally over 1000 pages in this kind of time (unless I was away at the seaside again... *sigh*).

And DONE with Mort :-D"

It's actually surprisingly lovely today! (a nice change from the cold, wet and miserable we've been having!)

I haven't even started Mort yet. Need to wait for my 6 months to be up (read it in Jan!) lol.
Looking forward to BOM questions DEATH style :D

Lol, yep, I feel your pain. And I don't even have another room to go to, hence booting him outside instead :D

50 pages left. I can do this in a timely manner. Probably. Most likely. Yes. Yes, I can do it ;-)"

Poor me. He drives me nuts being on the phone all day, every day! (for the better part of 15 months now), lol.

Eldarwen wrote: "I am nearing the end of my first book. Of course I started it before the weekend, but since I don't manage to read a lot during the week anymore because I'm too tired by the time I get home, I will..."

In that case, yes you probably should ;)

I'm the opposite. I read less on weekends as hubby is home. He decided to phone his mother just now, which is usually a 90 minute call, so I banished him to the garden so I can still read, lol!

It was pride - score...."
