Thanks so much for that, Brenda. Have been a cricket scorer for West Torrens for 40 years.... with only the rare premiership, so .... fingers crossed!!
Cheers

[Natty]

count me in...I should get some reading in this weekend

[MaryG2E]

I'm going to be away much of the weekend. Will try to fit in some reading, but I fear my total pages will be less than I normally achieve in the Read-a-thon.

[Samantha]

Ah, sorry, that sounds great but not enough time. I will be there in spirit. Enjoy!

[Sarah]

Yes please- I would like to join in. Thank you for the invitation!

My partner is away for work so I have the whole weekend to myself, chilling with some books :)

No problems Jeanette :) I read a lot of historical fiction, and I know there are a few others who do as well :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Is everyone ready??? 3.5 hours and the East coast of Australia can start reading for this!!!

Good luck everyone - and happy reading :)

The dilemma, the angst; do I stay up until midnight and start or do I go to bed and hope to be a productive worker-bee tomorrow.....
