Man, I need to stop reading tomes! Lol. 500+ pages plus new job equals taking a long time to read! Next up that I borrowed from the e-library is another 500+. Lol. Ah well. More important to read what I want to read than focus on the challenge. :) but it's still in the back of my mind.

[Elyse, Moderator]

I just realized, looking back at my list, that I read all 5 John Carter books as "one book" because it was a compilation ebook. So technically I should be at 72. :D
