It's April 1st too here in Indonesia, 10:54 am to be exact. And I'm already started reading first book for the challenge but have to stop it since I'm in the office now :)

[Noella]

I'm going to start after midnight PST for April so I can stop when everyone else stops :)

Yay! I started reading my first book as well. :)

[Jackie]

You're allowed to start early, but you have to finish early since you started early, does that make sense?

When you start, after midnight PST, it'll be an afternoon in my time. And at the end of the challenge, I have to stop earlier than you :)

My house hasn't recovered. It's a freaking tip! Maybe I should do housework instead of reading? hmm, maybe not.

@Sarah
Oh dear! hahaha

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We're on easter holidays, and I currently have 2 car race tracks, and 4 train tracks in my lounge. not to mention all the trains and cars and lego (and bits of 3 other train tracks). I can barely see the carpet.

[Berit]

I have been there, and done that. And does it not hurt like nothing else when you step on a Lego?
