Times up for me

Ragdoll 170 pages

read-a-thon Total 783 pages

Quite proud of myself as this is more than double what I read last time.
I'm relieved to see that some of us have read a more 'normal' number of pages!
I'm completely baffled as to how some of you have conquered 2,000 to 3,000+ in three days! Must be cheating. ;)

[Tracey Allen]

I read another 88 pages of Rattle to close out the readathon, bringing my overall total to 276 pages.
