Feb 2013 - Mini Challenge

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

No, feeling like you "have" to read something is definitely no fun. My reading has been a bit slow so far this year. I keep picking up books that are a bit more challenging than anticipated. Like the one I am reading now. It's good so far, but there was one 2-page chapter on philosophy last night that made my head hurt, lol.

Heather, you have reason. And yes, I'm glad too, not feeling lonely :D
