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!


message 212: by Stef (new)

Stef Rozitis 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!


message 214: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 9836 comments 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

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...


message 217: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments 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.

message 227: by Tracey Allen (new)

Tracey Allen at Carpe Librum (carpelibrum) | 859 comments 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!

Well done Jennifer! And still more time :)


message 247: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments 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.....


message 248: by Ryley (new)

Ryley | 14 comments 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 :)
