Hours 19 - 24

The Eyes & the Impossible - 53 pgs

Total pages: 394

Not TOO bad, but hopefully I'll be more on my game for the next readathon!

Hours 14 - 18

Happiness Falls - 25 pgs, finished

Nemesis (audio) - 96 pgs, finished

I'm happy I finished two in-progress books! I must sleep for a bit now, and hopefully make it back for the last hour. 

Hours 7 - 13

Happiness Falls - 69 pgs

Nemesis (audio) - 60 pgs

Total pages so far: 220

I'm not able to totally focus today (mostly because of fatigue), but hopefully I'll get a second wind this evening.

Hours 1 - 6

I stupidly had two cups of tea with dinner last night, and then couldn't sleep. So...I started quite late this morning, hence the low page count for six hours (!)

Happiness Falls - 49 pgs

Nemesis (audio) - 42 pgs

Running total, pages: 91

I'll calculate hours at the end.

Bout of Books 39

I almost forgot about Bout of Books! The first day is already over, but I can't resist trying to participate the rest of the week. With a busy schedule, we'll see how many pages I can get through! 😏
