It's amazing how ~little reading I do on the LAST weekend of the month! It's our busiest time of each month. :(
Colleen, yes. It's the FULL days of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Yes, I'm also done.573 pages in total, not bad as a beginner (this is my first Read-A-Thon) :)

Congrats Darnia! Really well done! I just updated message #30 at 150 pages.
Good morning!The seventy five pages I read this weekend were of the very small print of the 2011 edition of *Les Miserables*, by Victor Hugo, published by the Barnes & Noble imprint Fall River Press, which has 908 pages. See message 35.
Unless you go before you go, you'll need to go while you go.
