BJ Rose (bjrose) | 4413 comments Libraries do like their books back on time, don't they?! Fortunately for me, I don't have any due back for a while, so my next book has also been 2+ years on my shelf. Unfortunately, it reads like there may have been good reason for that, but I'm counting on it getting better, especially since my last book was such a dud.

Megan L Harnett | 806 comments This next challenge will be a bit longer, as I made the goal a bit higher. That's so we work through more old TBR books. If you work to clean out your old TBR books and get double or triple page counts, it'll go quickly. :)

I noticed you've been updating your original post with new books/pages. I think Kate has missed your updates because it's an old post, so you should repost each time you add a book. She's a forward-looking gal, you know!
