Day 7 Update & Wrap Up

 

I spent most of today on a plane but managed to read though never as much as I think I will. I read 22 pages in Twelve Nights at Rotter House by J.W. Ocker. I started and finished Our Dining Table (My first manga) 236 pages for a total of 258 pages.

 

I read 68 pages in The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse and finally finished it! Honestly, one of the worst books I've ever read. I am so glad to be done with it. I started Our Dining Table by Mita Ori and read 4 pages for a total of 72 pages. We're off to the airport today, flying into Scotland with our final destination Belfast, Northern Ireland. I'm sure we'll get some reading done on the plane.
