I also wrote a review of Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James.

I scheduled my challenge post for tomorrow - harder than it sounds considering it involved converting my own time zone, that of Bout of Books and then that of rafflecopter!

Clawed it back at the end!

What a strange read-a-thon. At the beginning of the week, when I had classes, a shedload of work and assemblies to lead, I read a book per day. THEN, when it quietened down, I read nothing.

As I explained on my Saturday post, Thursday was a no-go due to not managing to sleep AT ALL the night before, so I had to spend the first part of the day catching up and then the second part catching up on the work I'd missed! Friday I was in court and then pretty much fell straight asleep.

Still though, three books plus a decent way into a HUGE one. I do wish I'd managed to write more reviews, but hey ho. I enjoyed hosting my challenge and I hope I'll be able to do it again next time. The winners, incidentally, were:

Jasprit @ A Reader's Den

I guess I've learned that it is possible to read, even when you have a mountain of things to do. This week has been horrendous and yet I still achieved quite a lot. What a great start to the year!
