I have been doing well today. Although a friend stopped by for an impromptu visit, I finished two books that I had started. I read the last half of I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys, and listened to The Kitchen Front. I am now reading One Step Too Far by Lisa Gardner and Listening to The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis. I reread, so I could write reviews, 4 non-fiction picture books in the Little People, Big Dreams Series.
Mid-Event Survey!
- What are you reading right now? One Step Too Far by Lisa Gardner
- How many books have you read so far? Finished 2 I had already started, 4 picture books
- What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the readathon? One Step Too Far
- Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Yes, several. A Dear Friend passed away overnight, so I have had many calls, messages and one visit. I kept them as short as possible, which was easy as I usually started to cry so people let me go.
- What surprises you most about the readathon, so far? The amount I have gotten read.

Carla, I’m so sorry for your loss. Is she the friend you took to chemotherapy? If so, that makes the loss even greater because you know how hard she was fighting. I will be praying for you as you grieve.🙏

Thanks very much Linda. Yes, she was. We were friends for over 60 years, we were neighbours growing up. She sure did fight hard. I know she is in a better place, but I am still sad and will miss her so much.
