Yeah Brenda, lol you need to pull your weight. Only 1884 from you this time ;)

Actually, I took time off for a hamburger in town and watched a movie last night instead of reading, so I feel a bit slack myself :(

LOL!! Hope you enjoyed that burger and movie Ace:)


message 258: by Ace (new)

Ace (aceonroam) I did Brenda. Hamburgers are a rarity where I live.

I think I'm reading a lot faster lately, but still a long way off your lightening speed :)

MaryG2E (goodreadscommaryg2e) | 934 comments Even though we missed the goal by a whisker, it is still an amazing achievement. Well done to everyone who participated. I always feel like there is a bond shared between us with the quarterly readathons, as Aussie Readers all round the world put their heads together to read those thousands of pages.
