I am not making a lot of progress this readathon, but with the weather turning beautiful here I was out with my camera a lot. But having the readathon in mind I do read more than I would normally do I guess, so I am glad. Maybe the next one coincides with a week of rain ;-).

Maybe the next one coincides with a week of rain ;-)"That's what I figure as well, despite not being able to find the time to read a whole lot. I at least got around to finish reading a couple of books I've been "currently reading" for awhile. So it still worked out.

I had more time to read yesterday, but had a headache so just couldn't do much. I hope to have more success next time. And I'm determined to at least make Day 7 my best one!
I just have not had any time at all this week to read. I think I've finished off about 900 pages so far. I was hoping I'd have a lot of time to read, but it just hasn't happened.
