Now I have resumed my previous Currently Reading title The Ghost Writer by John Harwood, which I'm enjoying but it has a distinctive Gothic, High Victorian prose style, which takes time to read. Added another 30 pages to the total just before the stroke of midnight, most appropriately!!

Cold Touch ~ 346 pages
One to Hold ~ 204 pages

That's funny as I picked that book up at the library to other day but had to put it back as I had too many.
Will have to grab it next time for sure.

Well done all!!
I feel a real buzz looking at the final score of pages read for this readathon. We don't generally know each other except through this website, and we are scattered all over Australia and beyond, but we're united in the effort to achieve this goal. Well done, friends!
