I finished at page 108 of "The Champion"

This is my shortest read-a-thon in terms of pages read and time spent. As well as having the play-off soccer game I just found it harder than normal concentrate. Having said that it was still fun and I cannot wait for the next one.

Read-a-thon Start.

I am starting off with the book that I am currently reading; "Free Air" written by Sinclair Lewis. I am currently on page 279 out of 370.
