I didn't post during the weekend, but Oh Boy! did I get some reading done. Normally, I spend Saturdays caring for my 2-year-old granddaughter, but her aunt stepped up and volunteered to keep her so that Nana could have a relaxing weekend. Of course, I dedicated the weekend to reading, but I do consider that relaxing.

I finished reading Ghost At Work on Friday afternoon, just a short while before we touched down at DFW. They had already announced that it was time to turn off all electronic devices, and that was the only paper book that I had with me, so I just browsed through the airline magazine for the rest of the flight.

Once I had my luggage in hand and was seated in the car on the way to dinner, I started reading Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth. This was a very pleasant memoir of the author's experiences when she was training as a midwife in London in the early 1950s. In addition to the stories of mothers and babies, she shared a lot of information about the poverty-ridden conditions in which she worked in the East End around the docks. I finished this book early on Sunday evening and then started reading Murder Past Due by Miranda James on my Kindle.

Murder Past Due is a comfy, cozy mystery featuring a librarian with a cat. And it's set in Mississippi as well. At the end of the day on Sunday—and therefore at the end of the Read-A-Thon, I was 49% of the way into this book. (The Kindle tells me that I'd be on page 143 of 294 if I were reading the paperback edition.)

So, all told, I completed three books and half of another during the week-long event. The number of pages read were approximately 1081. I say “approximately” since I read most (98%) of Lie Down In Green Pastures during the Read-A-Thon, in a Kindle book that didn't have full page numbers.
