Nichole | 512 comments Wow, I feel like I should make a speech or something.

"First I would like to thank my local library for providing so much free reading material.

I would also like to thank B&N for making it so easy to purchase books without leaving the comfort of my chair.

And let me not forget this wonderful group of fellow readers that always cheer everyone on!"
