HPIR slacks in the holidays

You would think that with all the time off work we would be able to post some fat numbers. But no. For whatever reason, many of us were off our game in the month of December. The six readers who participated this month read 7114 pages in 34 titles. Of course Marian read 2435, Jane came in second with 1463, and Monica followed with 932. My own personal excuse for coming in last? Reading non-fiction all month.
