[Kristie]

I'm playing too. :) My goal is to read Stars Above and Murder at the Vicarage and to finish The Art of Not Breathing and Tell the Wolves I'm Home.

Day 1:
Stars Above - read to page 121 (out of 369)
Tell the Wolves I'm Home - read to chapter 44 (out of 66)

Day 2:
Tell the Wolves I'm Home - to chapter 64
The Art of Not Breathing - up to 54%

Day 3:
Finished Tell the Wolves I'm Home - Yay!!
Murder at the Vicarage - to 12%

Day 4:
Murder at the Vicarage - to 49%

Well...I did quite a bit of reading (for me) every day, which was great. I didn't quite reach my goals, but considering all that was going on, I did pretty well, so I'm ok with that.

[Jen]

I'm hoping to finish the Jane Yellowrock series. Ten books and assorted shorts, which I'm reading in the author's recommended order. I'm on book #8 currently. Considering that it has taken me an average of two days per book, it'll be hard to read three books plus the rest of the shorts in just four days. But I'm going to give it my best shot! :-)

Progress so far, May 20-23:

May 20 Total:
~8 hrs, 186 pages, Broken Soul by Faith Hunter

Okay, so... I have a 24 Hour ARC Read-A-Thon this satuday, so I was planing on getting read of those.

Sadly, at first glance that means I can only do the W with those.
