Stef, in my book reading is reading. Doesn't have to be fiction or interesting, it's still reading. I would much prefer to be reading fiction, but needs must. So I'm gonna count those pages anyway. So far no-one has told me I can't.

LOL! Never Rita;) I hope you're resting your eyes today! It looks like you're our top reader for the weekend!

MaryG2E (goodreadscommaryg2e) | 934 comments Hi Brenda, just got back from a wretched weekend away. The only sun we saw the entire time was on the highway returning home. Our outdoorsy type activities got cancelled, so it became a cabernet and camembert kind of weekend. Having said that I thought I would be too busy to participate in this quarter's Readathon, I'm pleased to advise that I notched up 1,031 pages read over the weekend. (Most of that was a marathon on Saturday night when I could not sleep due to the severe cold.)

Indeed Brenda, though I was secretly pleased that the bushwalking got cancelled in such bleak conditions, because I'm not a fan of stumbling along wet, rocky, muddy mountain-goat tracks in the fog and rain. It's too risky IMHO. We ate and drank heaps and had lots of laughs instead, indoors. Need now to have some decent (safe) walks to work off all those rich calories!


message 346: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79132 comments Mod
LOL! Jolly calories! But yes, much too risky...glad you enjoyed yourselves indoors anyway:)
