Calling it a night

Considering what we had going on today I think we all did great.  Me, Richard and Nancy all finished four books each.  And we had a great time doing it!  Having a husband and a best friend who read is one of the greatest things in the world.  Can't wait for the next RAT!

The Little Prince, Saga 8 & This Adventure Ends

This is my 21st read-a-thon. It will be a busy one so I'm fitting in reading where I can.

Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon

I'm taking part in Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon.  I've got a sort of list of books to read (TBR to come later), no idea of what we'll be eating and no real plan.  We just got back from England, have a concert the night before the RAT (That was supposed to be last year but was rescheduled due to Harvey.) and a soccer game the day of.  It's going to be a lot less planned out than usual but I'm still really looking forward to it.
