I think I don´t know ANY of your books lol

And how are you going? Reading all the stuff for the month?

[Jensownzoo]

I'm collecting the books I read each month under one post (going back and editing in ones as I finish). I have written brief reviews for each one that you can look at in addition to the standard blurb that comes with each if you are interested in what I thought about them.

[Jensownzoo]

Oh, I see what you mean after looking at your list. I'm not really setting goals, just keeping track of what I have read and how many I actually finish this year.
