    I know what you mean about not being able to read on a particular day. I read only 47 pages yesterday (against a typical 100+ pages per day) because I was just too busy to sit down with a book. You sure read up a storm on day 2 and day 3 though! Have fun with Bout of Books.

    Looks like you've had a great read-a-thon so far, even if you couldn't start right away. Enjoy the rest of your week!
