You have been doing a great job so far! I haven't really heard of the books you are reading so I will have to look them up on Goodreads 🙂
Happy reading!
Thanks…I was hoping to get more reading time in, but that may have to wait until the weekend as work is a little busier than I was planning.
Congratulations on a great start to the week – and happy reading for day 3! *waves tiny read-a-thon flag cheerfully* Can you tell I've had too much coffee today? 😉
