LOL, that's almost on a par with the 666.666 books....

I've read approx 600 pages since kick off but am going out now for the evening so that's probably it until tomorrow. Shame because I am half way through Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty and I really want to keep reading!
I read 257 pages yesterday...Today I am more of a sissy:
12 pages of Sage Handbook of Play and Learning in Early Childhood
16 pages of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
and only 16 of Divergent as well, now I am off to a party wont have an evening of reading. Total for today is only 44 pages
Running total 257 + 44 = 301
so I have to really read tomorrow!!
Finished The Fat Lady Sings for 127 pages on top of this morning's, so far for today:)
A sick granddaughter and the unexpected babysitting of her two siblings curtailed my reading somewhat!

Heading off out for the evening so won't read any more today. 122 pages to finish The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
75 pages to finish Embryo
80 pages of audiobook Sugar
Total 277 pages
I'm doing them as I go Rita - I figure a half an hour to do that will be better in the long run:) I usually wait...
Today I have finished A Corpse in the Koryo, which was certainly a rather different murder mystery, so that was 144 pages' worth.I have started Fractured by Dawn Barker this evening and, because it is compelling, I have easily chewed through 82 pages. I suspect I might be able to finish it tomorrow!
And I have read more of The White Monkey and listened to more of The Castlemaine Murders so my combined total for the day is 343 pages.

Yes - I was caught up in the story almost from the start!
And 17 pages of Nightwalking: A Nocturnal History of London. It's almost an academic approach to the subject and very dry at the moment, hence the slow progress.

I'm not sure what my total is so far, but yesterday's was less than I'd hoped:( Never mind, hopefully I'll catch up today!
I haven't read that one Phrynne - I've looked at it numerous times, but then not!

I'm off to the city soon so maybe only a little reading on the bus. Will check in with my total when I arrive back home on Monday. Enjoy the extra day off everyone.

Oh wow I just read the house of mirth. It's well written isn't it?
see, cos I never work Mondays, it takes a while to filter through my brain that it's a long weekend. Mostly, for me it just means inconvenience: can't make appointment with solicitor, dentist, PO not open so no books in mail etc etc. But I just realised we could have added a day to this challenge.....
Saturday I read only 12 pages of A Court of Thorns and Roses And then 57 pages of Daughter of Smoke & Bone Total of 69 pages for Saturday, Friday was 68 pages, 137 in total so far. I haven't yet picked up a book today but I will now :)

Thought of it:) Thought of changing it to Saturday through Monday - decided to leave it as it was:)
