Sorry I didn't get to post my Day 7 progress. I had a great-aunt who passed away, which we were expecting because she was 95 and had lived a great long life, but which still caused me to be very busy with family stuff yesterday. Also I obviously did not get as much reading done as I would have liked, but that is life! I had been hoping to finish at least two more books, especially the huge Paris one that I have been reading for a while, but that was not to be.Here is my final report:
Finished - 8 books:
Vineyard Deceit
One Night with a Cowboy
The Persian Pickle Club
Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes
Of Grave Concern:: An Ophelia Wylde Paranormal Mystery
Whispering Rock
The Cakes of Wrath
Arizona Guy
In progress:
162p. of Paris
15p. of The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie
75p. of The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion
Total RAT pages: 2,382
It was a great Read-a-thon, and I am so grateful to all of you who work to make it possible!
