Great effort B!!"
Thanks:) I've been suffering eye strain and am only allowed to read for four hours per day so my totals are a lot less than they could be:(
B the BookAddict - you must be a speed reader to reach those totals, in spite of eye strain. I feel like a slacker by comparison!
Diane wrote: "B the BookAddict - you must be a speed reader to reach those totals, in spite of eye strain. I feel like a slacker by comparison!"Probably due to different time constraints; you probably work whereas I am recently retired, you probably have family while I am widowed etc. Lots of factors affect our reading.

Just glad to have you in the Readathon's I've been in so far :) Sorry to hear about your eyes tho'.

Haha, thanks john! Anybody who knows me is aware I have a lot on my plate and am always trying to fit in more. I'm happy with my busy life currently
It just occurred to me that my nephew is in Brighton right now studying law,I have a drinking buddy who grew up in Brighton,and the first book I ever read by Graham Greene was_you-guessed it-The Power and the Glory.Jk it was Brighton Rock.I am going to send a friend request.
Sorry to be late. I read 195 pages total this weekend.

I have accepted, John. I actually don't live in Brighton anymore. I left 2.5 years ago! I should really change that. I hope you are still happy to stay friends!

Thanks Heather... It was with my student daughter who had some rather scary big heart thumps all in one day. She asked me to meet her at the hospital but took herself to the wrong one by bus so first hour was waiting for her to arrive! Glad to say everything seems to be fine.
