Michelle (shelld79) | 144 comments Sorry if I'm late updating but I only managed 98 pages of The Stand over the weekend.
Hubby was away and my son needed a lot of attention so reading time was a bit scarce.

I was going to wait until the final results come in but yes, I'd say Bette is our outstanding achiever this quarter!!!

Adriana (geoexplorer) | 90 comments Hi, Brenda! A little doubt here: noon of the 9 th in Autralia is the limit? Cause if that's the case, it' just the 134 pages I read on Saturday that I posted already of Anjos and 20 of Anathem on Sunday... That I didn't post on schedule I believe...I had 9 th at noon on my mind fortetting you guys are almost 12 hours ahead of me on the clock... So 134 it is... Sorry for the mass! ;)

My total is easy to do when you are now sans husband; I did have really sore eyes at the end though! I think I heard him "tutt-tutting" from the 'other' side:) All my other tasks got rescheduled for Tuesday. And boy, did that turn out to be a busy day, lol:D
