So far so good! Today started rather slowly, I couldn’t get much reading done at work (well, at least not as much as I wanted to) because it ended up being a busier day than expected. But I got about 50 pages of La’s Orchestra Saves the World by Alexander McCall Smith read. Once I [...]

So it’s been quite an internal struggle going on the last few weeks. I could quite decide if I was going to participate in the 24 Hour Read-a-Thon. I have to work tomorrow from 10-2 but I’ll be able to get some reading read in during that time. After seeing so many of my fellow [...]
