ReplyDeleteyou are doing awesome Kate! You are an inspiration to us all! I love your Readathon sign, what is that?
ReplyDeleteI finished my book for book club in the first three hours and I'm hoping to finish an audio book and a graphic novel before the day is done but I have A LOT of cleaning to do so we'll see how it goes!
Keep up the good work!
