I&#39;m really happy with the progress I made during this challenge.<br /><br />And this weekend I&#39;m house-sitting, so I have four beagles for companionship. I have 6 cats, plus 5 foster kittens waiting to be adopted, so a dog in my house would not go over well. I do love dogs, though.Ruth @ Bookish Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06863703037623512619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-12752790491818259672009-06-19T17:34:18.587-04:002009-06-19T17:34:18.587-04:00Wow, it looks like you got plenty of work done!

Gwen loves sitting with me when I&#39;m reading and it&#39;s nice to have such a cuddly cat to keep me company. I bet Emmy likes curling up with you while you read as well.Ruth @ Bookish Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06863703037623512619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-63875297179945902542009-06-11T18:04:10.705-04:002009-06-11T18:04:10.705-04:00Jo-Jo, thanks! Gwen was awesome. She kept my feet nice and toasty during the read-a-thon.<br /><br />Meghan, isn&#39;t she adorable?<br /><br />I&#39;m really looking forward to the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon in the fall. I hope I&#39;m able to participate. This read-a-thon was a great experience for me. <br /><br />Ruth, thanks! I&#39;m so glad that you&#39;re enjoying the Enola Holmes books. They&#39;re such great reads. <br /><br />Kathrin, thank you so much. I was really happy with getting those two and most of a third read. I loved participating in this read-a-thon. Thank you so much for coordinating it!Ruth @ Bookish Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06863703037623512619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-64144905505899572652009-06-11T18:02:21.865-04:002009-06-11T18:02:21.865-04:00Always nice to have company!Lenorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-1231694558611199912009-06-11T17:26:22.249-04:002009-06-11T17:26:22.249-04:00Congrats on finishing, Ruth! <br />I think you did a great job :-) Even if you could have read more pages, you finished two books. That sure counts a lot in my book. Just think about how long you otherwise need to finish two books...Kathrinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523843355458133836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-53415751203725189472009-06-11T15:41:06.538-04:002009-06-11T15:41:06.538-04:00Love your kitty pic! :) I have to thank you for introducing me to the Enola Holmes mysteries...I&#39;m halfway through The Case of the Missing Marquess and I&#39;m loving it!Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-52898780843850582522009-06-11T15:35:40.176-04:002009-06-11T15:35:40.176-04:00I love the cat picture! She is too cute. <br /><br />It&#39;s hard to balance computer time and reading time during a Read-a-Thon. I&#39;d probably like to spend even less time on the computer than I did in the last 24 hour read-a-thon - I didn&#39;t participate in this one.Meghanhttp://chikune.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146163822192897736.post-17882097326174489842009-06-11T15:32:35.212-04:002009-06-11T15:32:35.212-04:00Congrats to you Ruth!
