Life gets in the way Carolyn:) Same with me and I'm pretty sure all of our participants...just do your best:)

[Carolyn]

You're not wrong Brenda - there is always something on. I've got a 1y old b'day party tomorrow which will be fun (love babies!) but will cut into my reading time :)
I was wondering how much reading we could get done if you just had 3 uninterrupted days!

Absolutely loads!!! I have another author talk this afternoon which will also cut into reading time...oh well, life's here to enjoy:) And I enjoy the author talks!

Enjoy the birthday party - it'll be amazing:)
