[Lisa Kay]

Congrats, Valie, Lady D, & Susanne! Well done, Desiree. You did better than I did. April was pretty much a bust on reading; only 11 books for me.

[Laura]

I had a bad month for reading and didn't finish either of my challenges. :/

[Lisa Kay]

April was a difficult month for me, Laura. Real Life does that to us sometimes. Hope you are having a better month in May.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Don't worry about it, Laura and Lisa Kay. I know I definitely go into reading slumps. I am behind on my yearly GRs challenge, and it's driving me crazy, but let's not forget the real fun is reading!

[Lisa Kay]

Very true, Lady D. Very true.
