I'm very close to finishing one of the books. It is about 700 pages long with very small print. I spent most of the week reading that instead of finishing all the other books I was planning to read. Oh, well. At least I enjoyed my reading.

I didn't keep track of my total reading hours, but I know that I did better at the beginning and the end of the week, and not so well in the middle. I had hoped to finish 10 books, but given the busy-ness of my week, I am happy with the 5 that I did complete,and with the pages in the others that I got done.

Can't wait for the next Read-a-thon to start all over again!
