I've worked some of this out myself but have gotten stuck, so I would appreciate it if some of the methods of elimination were explained (after you get beyond the obvious ones like crossing out Friday if it said she didn't do something on Friday). I realize it might be hard to explain totally with all of them and be short-winded at the same time, so whatever works best - In the end another's answers to match up with mine would be ideal to check against!

1. N is Wed. (given)
2. a. Eating J is a day after reading k, so it isn't Mon.
b. F and Mar are after listening to SY, so they are not on Mon.
c. B is not on Mon (given)
thus, only T is left on Mon, which comes with reading R (given)
3. a. J is not on Fri (given)
b. K is a day before J, so it can't be Thu.
c. Mon and Wed are taken by R and N
thus, K is Tue and J is Wed.
4. There is a day after P in which she listens to Moz
thus, P is Thu and Moz is Fri.
5. D is left for Fri
6. a. Moz is not Mon (proven)
b. SY is not Mon. (given)
c. MB and LW aren't Mon (because they can't be with R)
thus, Mat is on Mon
7. LW isn't on Thu, and can't be with K (on Tue), thus, it is in Wed.
8. There are 2 days after SY (for F and Mar), so SY must be on Tue, which leaves MB on Thu, F and Mar on Thu and Fri.
9. B is left on Tue.

I hope I didn't mess up at some point
