Whew! I have read a long list of books during this challenge, and enjoyed all but one of them. Because I choose the books that I want to review books, there are few surprises. My reviews can be found here. My children are grown, and I am retired. This is pure joy!

This is just awesome, Sally! You must never sleep!! My biggest problem is saving reading for evening in bed and it lulls me to sleep immediately. I think I am going to set aside time during the afternoon to read (and not in my bed!) so I can keep up with this challenge.

Kudo's to you in reaching your goal! :-D

My what an interesting post. I am too a big reader. My library gives us a ticket each time we check out books. Trust me, my list is much too long me to share. Have you read the book "The Shack" by William P. Young? Also, thanks for visiting my post, and yes that weather on the TV was what we got for three days. Thank goodness the sun is out today, but very hot and humid.
