Does it have a percentage there too Suzanne? If you can give me that, plus the book title, I can work it out for you...

edit: it's about 54% so tell me the book and I'll calculate it for you:)

Not much reading time ATM unfortunately but I managed to read 71% of The Engagement Party by Kimberley Freeman last night.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

@ Sally, the cupcakes were delicious! I think I had one too many of those very moreish cocktails though and have a bit of a headache this morning :[
Nothing that a virtual coffee won't fix though ;-)

[Sharon]

Morning :) Coffees good. Cakes lovely. Will anyone care if I eat them all?

I don't know how many pages, but I read the last 30% of Fatal Liaison by Vicki Tyley

Is it a novella Jules? It's showing as 36 pages? If that's right, you've read 26 pages:)

[Irene]

23 pages of Eggs in Purgatory by Laura Childs was all I could bear, but did read Wicked Craving by G.A. McKevett (278). With the first book (257) I've now read 558 pages. Off to play croquet now.

Yes it must be Brenda, there's not much info on it and I hadn't realized when I downloaded it that it was so short....it's a bit weird because about half way through it starts on a preview chapter of her new book, and then swings back into this story??!! Very confusing for a bit *_~

Lol...suffice to say that I didn't get much reading done, but I didn't expect to either.....unless you want to count reams of family history stuff! ;)

[Carolyn]

Only managed 50 pages of World of Trouble and 44 pages of Can You Keep a Secret? yesterday due to work and after-work drinks (hic!)

I plan on getting through a heap more today, especially since it's wet and dreary and hubby will be happily engaged watching the Swans/Dockers game later on ;)

Hoping someone will make some virtual tea and scones later on to keep us going. Make mine Earl Grey please!

Enjoy!!!!

[Marianne]

Not getting a lot read because I had a Pharmacy journal I HAD to read, but then decided that I could add some pages for that as it's READING, even if it's extremely dry reading. Ditto when I read Good Weekend tomorrow, I'm gonna count those pages too. There's no rule says my reading has to be from a book in this readathon, is there?

No Marianne, anything read as long as you can record pages:)

[Sandra]

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Sandra!!! Hope you can manage the same for today and tomorrow;)

Assuming everyone chips in, roughly 300~ pages from everyone ought to do it. At this rate we'll smash it :P

[Kyla]

Have had a slow reading day today so far but kids will be in bed soon so I'll be able to smash out a decent amount of pages then :)

Yep. Nothing retirement won't cure, but that is a few years away yet :)

Hopefully will be 100% gone by lunch tomorrow when the grandchildren and their high pitched squeals come to visit Poppy for Father's Day :)

[Suz]

Finished Thin Blood and onto my next one. I'll post an update at the end of the night. Thanks for all the visual pics I can look forward to some virtual cocktails right about now ;)
