date
newest »


I had planned to do a lot of reading last night (Fri), but got a major migraine I'm still getting over today. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xuequin - 65 pages
Father and Sons, Ivan Turgenev - 34 pages
Revolutionary Road, Richard Yates - 60 pages
Total pages read on Day 7 - 159 pages.
Total read in R-A-T - 888 pages
Could have and should have done better. Oh well, looking forward to the next one!

I finished Dime Store Magic (I was a couple of disks in when the challenge began)
Listened to Guilty Wives in its entirety and read Midwives
I also listened to a few disks of 11/22/63 with my husband.
I didn't keep track with any accuracy, but I would estimate about 1200 pages
Linette and Nadine, thank you for your encouraging words. I am a pretty fast reader, and I have enjoyed sitting on our patio and reading this week. The RAT has been fun, and I have read some really good books. I look toward to the next RAT.
I see that you have done well this week, too. Congratulations!
