Kadijah Michelle (kadmich) | 2176 comments Hello All, Happy September! It is my favorite month of the year! Partially because my birthday is coming up, but mostly because fall starts, and I love all the fun the end of the year brings. School starts, sweater weather, snow! Lots of time to read.

I know I'm a few days late with August's statistics, but I was out of town away from my computer, so here they are: as of today, we have 82 participants. We have read 300 books of the 1056 pledged, and 10 participants have completed the challenge!

Great job everyone!
