My Bonanza novel has Abraham Lincoln written in as a character. But I'm only about 35 pages into it at this point.

Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments When I finish the book I'm currently reading, the next one in line will be a bonus one. But the question becomes, will Amanda post her new total page count before then?
