Notes: 1PM I've not read any since I woke up. I've been cleaning and talking to my deployed hubby. Hopefully I can sit down and read later on. I did join in the Twitter chat today. 12AM (Sun) I'm gonna visit a ton of blogs tomorrow. I read for a few hours before our friends came over - they are moving soon so we wanted to spend time with them. I read some of Cinnamon and exercised and showered, read some more...and then made my grocery list for tomorrow...today. Tomorrow I want to at least finish ONE of these books. I haven't read as much as I normally do for the readathons, but I also have been in a rut lately and reading more than I have been. I AM going to be reading in bed.

Finishing Line:
Total pages read: 1070
Books read & finished:
Final thoughts: I didn't meet my daily page goal each day, but I did finish 4 books, participate in 3 challenges, and participate in 1 Twitter chat (and then some for the challenges and chat). I also did way better at visiting bloggers and still plan on visiting a few here in the next day or so. Overall a very successful week of reading! :)
