Sally: No
Amy: Not really.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Sally: YES, they were unavoidable
Amy: OH so many! I couldn’t connect my computer to the wireless network here so I had to mess around with that for a long while, the lawn people came and were loud, etc.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

We have the same ‘surprising thing’! I remember the second read-a-thon, when I visited every reader at least 10 times, lol. Now there are soooooooo many!!! And I am INCREDIBLY jealous of the Fragile Eternity ARC…I’ve loved both of Marr’s books, and I want to read that one so badly!!!

You’re more than half way there! You’re doing great. Can’t wait to hear what you think of VANISHING ACTS.

Haven’t read any by Jodi Picoult but she’s one of my sister’s favorite authors.
Enjoy reading for the next ten hours!

You two are both doing so well, keep it up! I enjoyed Vanishing Acts – I’m kind of on the fence with Picoult, but that was one of her books that I did really like. I hope you like it!
