Almost there! Day 5

So I did a whole lot better today than I did yesterday. I was able to finish Anna and the French Kiss this morning before I went to sleep and then start on A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. This afternoon I read the entirety of Detroit, a play by Lisa D'Amour. (and by the way that's how plays are meant to be read. in one sitting within a few hours... I'll make a post on this specifically) I didn't get to read much of A Wizard of Earthsea because I had work today but it's pretty short and seems to be pretty easy to read. I remember that I really liked it the first time I read it too. So I feel pretty confident in all that I've read and that I'll even be able to complete the challenges. I am going away this weekend to a wedding (an entire post on that coming soon!) so I won't be able to read much because there will be lot's of driving and partying involved but since I've already read 6 books I'm still on track to finish.
