Some months I didn't hit the goal, some months I exceeded it. I never really did keep count of how many books I read, but I'm pretty sure it ended up averaging out to my over all goal. <BR/><BR/>Happy reading! :0DC.R.

Happy reading1<BR/><BR/>PJ, There are about 3 or 4 books I have in line b4 I read yours, but I must admit, I got excited and snuck ahead and read the 1st page. Your first sentence is Killer! I love when people find "perfec" words and the word "pinprick" was exactly that! There was so much punch with that one word. The sentence wouldn't have been as powerful had you used anything else. Can't wait to read the rest!<BR/><BR/>Kelly, go for it! Add PB's into your mix! Happy reading!C.R.

It can sometimes take me 2 weeks to a month to finish a book, even though I read every day. However I am going to be keeping a list of what I read and maybe at the end of the year I'll post it, the long errr, short of it. :OBish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-70672567448622748082009-01-12T11:08:00.000-05:002009-01-12T11:08:00.000-05:00YaY TAbitha, Jacqui and Beth!

I don't have many rules, except that I'm not counting picture books, re-reads, or the manuscripts I critique for fellow writers. Everything else is game. :) I'm going to keep track of this year's books on my blog, thought I haven't quite figured out how yet... :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898179382293852278.post-58133202499749823372009-01-12T10:51:00.000-05:002009-01-12T10:51:00.000-05:00Hey Adrienne!
