I'm keeping track of the books I read by using the Goodreads Reading Challenge. This is the 3rd year I've done it. So far this year, 22 books. Goal for 2016 is 150. I'd like to make at least 25 of those horror. Since discovering this group (this group rocks!) I have found so many good recommendations I may up that horror total! Looking forward to seeing everyone else's list and getting more great ideas.

Books, books and more books. I figured I would, but I'm so confounded by where the second one went, I have an active memory of reserving two. It's really weird.

[Char]

I don't know...I've had reviews completely disappear before, so I wouldn't be very surprised if a post disappeared.

[Bandit]

Weird. I'm yet to encounter the disappearing review thing. Oh the treacherous webs of the net.
