I seem to go in fits and starts with my reading, I can easily get through a book in a few days but then at other times I have the same book on the go for a few weeks, I suppose it depends on what I'm reading and if it's 'grabbing' me.

Oh, and back to back Fairs as well! Fortunately Eldest Daughter has elected to travel down tomorrow and help out.
