I started at 8 a.m. but was reading with one eye on the Wimbledon tennis matches. I had to take our cat to the vet in the afternoon, so I lost about 4 hours of reading time, but did listen to one disk of an audio book while driving. When I got back, I read from about 5:15 p.m. until 2:15 a.m.

Books read: The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams: 213 pages
The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz: 353 pages
Addition by Toni Jordan: 258 pages
