I know I read another book since there is a 7 day break between the Wyndham Legacy and Voyager ( and I would not have read one historical romance after another)... but I cannot for the life of me figure it out -- must not have made much of an impression on me ;-)

thanks- it helps that i can "read" while driving/working outside-- it is amazing how listening to a book make things i used to dread (such as driving around) more enjoyable and sometimes even something to look forward to.
100 might be more difficult than i thought though i hit 50 early june and thought that i would have no problem reading another 50 but i have not been keeping pace so we will see- i may find myself the last week of the year holed up with my kindle just reading --- i guess there are worse ways to spend a week ;-)
