Bout of Books Update: Day 5 (Friday)


It's day FIVE of the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon. Time for another short post. We've been busy today and just got home a few minutes ago. I'm going to wrap this one up fast so I can get a little reading in before I hit the hay. Tomorrow, Darian and I are planning on starting a 24 hour read fest. Whoever wakes up first is waking up the other one and then we'll get started. It's going to be a big push to help us reach our goals before a short sleep and then a leisurely Sunday read to wrap up the whole shebang.
