MARATHON CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2017
Goal: 4/4

4. The Girl Next Door

Wow! I completed my first challenge already. I'm a bit surprised to have finished this so early. Granted, they were smaller books - they averaged to about 250 pages - but I definitely thought I'd be finishing the fourth book towards the end of the month. I'm excited to see how many "bonus" books I'll get in.

Rough week for read-a-thon this week but hope to get back on track today. I'm still reading book #2 for January but I'm more than half way through the book " The Stand", which is a fictional account of what would happen in the case of a "superflu" outbreak. Excellent book."
