I'm rather disappointed in my total. I knew it was going to be tough to get a lot read because it was only my second week at a new job, but I was still hoping to do better than that.

I guess, but it's actually a little below average for me. I am so behind on my library books that I was hoping to read 1000+. It's more about expectations vs. reality than anything.

[Dee]

Currently In Progress
Code Name Verity - starting at pg 128 - currently at pg 286 (158 pgs read)
American Visa -starting at pg 62 - currently at pg 184 (122 pgs read)

Starting during RAT

Thanks! About 5ooo pages. I don't usually count pages just books. I was trying to catch up. I did't do to bad considering I had to pick fruit and make jam.I was hoping to spen the entire week just reading(that didn't happen, maybe next time).

For my first RAT I think I did incredibly well for me. I'm not a fast reader and would actually consider myself a slow reader so I set lots of goals just to give myself variety not expecting to get anywhere near finishing, and finished all but 1, and that 1 is one I am struggling to listen to so its just super slow going.

[Zakiya]

Finished:
Whisper (last 196 pages)
Firelight (last 258 pages)
A Raisin in the Sun (151 pages)

Started:
Lost Voices (16 pages)

Total Pages: 621
Not my best, but better than I thought I was going to do.
