I'm so sorry about your cat, Bana!

1. My biggest distractions have been work, other personal stuff and my own reading speed. I've managed to finish one book so far - definitely not what I was expecting. Hopefully the second will be done by today.

2. Favourite part - the theme! I didn't read as much as I was hoping but it was fun 'eating' the 'king cakes', planning out my books and learning a bit about Mardi Gras.

3. Ummmm.... I finished one book? Not much of a readathon!

4. My goal is to finish Kill Your Husbands and Tracking North over the weekend.

5 It's added an element of fun and competitiveness to the readathon. Not that individual readathons aren't fun but they're not great when you can only clock in 1 book!!

Sorry about your pet, Bana. That is heavy.

1. Not much distraction this week, I'm glad to say. A few tasks to get sorted and one busy day, that's all.

2. I liked the theme too. I knew nothing about Krewes or King Cake.

3. I did much better than in the last few Readathons - only one book to go.

4. Just to finish.

5. Just the doing the individual challenge.

[Irene]

The theme and discussion with my team

4 books, 1195 pages

N/A since I usually only do the team challenge
