I am SO behind on my reading. :( Last I looked, I was four or five books behind on my reading challenge for the year. I stopped looking because it stressed me out too much, LOL! Now that I'm done with school for six weeks, hopefully I can catch up!!

That's too bad. This site is great for tracking what you have read, what you want to read and what you're currently reading. And our group has a lot of great recommendations, I've found that my "to read" list grows pretty much every week. :)
