What is the favorite thing you have read today? The only thing I read yesterday was the Rake and the Recluse.  Enjoying it very much, despite the distractions! Which mini-challenge was your favorite? The puzzle pictures was really neat! What has been your favorite thing about the read-a-thon? Being able to get caught up on those half finished or have to get finished reads that have been lingering on my desk. What has been your LEAST favorite thing about the read-a-thon? Getting distracted. Are you on track to meet your goals? Umm, no.  I got very distracted last night watching a new show with my hubby. Will you be participating tomorrow? Do you have any new goals? Definitely!  I'm going to finish the Rake and Recluse and hopefully finish Beautiful Girl!
