Rachael Turns Pages is hosting a week long read-a-thon: June 22-28. Sign-ups are here. So I didn't get a chance to update on Wednesday. I was able to finish three books though. I'm not sure what I'll try to get read today!What I actually read:

Thank you for joining. What a list you have there. I hope you get a lot of reading done this week.
What a great list--and knowing you, you'll probably knock them all out this week! Goodluck!
I read Mary Poppins this year as well.
I remember Half Magic :) My kids used to love those kind of books.
Half Magic is cute. I have never read Mary Poppins, but if you have read it almost 3 times it must be good.
Great job this week. I'm glad you got so much reading done. Thanks for joining.
