[BJ Rose]

I started late but strong - read for almost 3 hours before my first break, then listened to my audiobook while I ironed, did dishes, etc., but then my breaks came more often and lasted longer - just couldn't stay focused, and conked out a little after 8:00 p.m.

My totals are:
3 hours listening and 6 hours reading
Total Pages Read = 479
Finished two books already in progress: Moonlight Road (just OK), and To Say Nothing of the Dog (this was silly, humorous, and full of details about Victorian living and behavior - along with the time-travelers' search for The Bishop's Birdstump ** which is finally explained near the end. I loved it - and listening to it made it even better!
Also read up to page 171 (I think) of Out of the Shadows

[Susan]

I listened to three hours of a book called Along Came a Spiderby: James Patterson, and I read 100 pages of Dominicby: Elizabeth Amber. So my total was three hours listening and 3 hours reading.

I liked it-but I liked "Garden Spells" a little better. "Winter Garden" was good, but somewhat predictable. Both were, fast, easy reads-good for the challenge!

[Debbie]

ooh, I love Garden Spells too. good to know about Winter Garden, I will get to it soon. - thanks
