Jayme, Tien indicated earlier (see post #63) that she wanted the reporting done when the book was finished. I suppose that any books started but not finished should be reported at the end as total pages read.

Woohoo!

I'm struggling with my jail book which I really wished to complete this week & I don't think I'd be able to finish reading it tonight BUT I did progress quite well... about 460 of 700, I think so less than 300 pages to go :) I can do this!

Well only 6.5 hours of the day left to me but got kids & dinner etc etc etc... I hope I do get some alone time to read tonight. My jail book needs proper concentration so can't read with kids up & about :p
