Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 731 comments I'm finished. I was a little late finishing my book for January, but I did get the roll in on time. I just had a busy month!

A BIG THANK YOU to Fran and the Group for hosting the Yahtzee challenge! I hope we can do it again next year. I find some of the best books this way, but I understand taking a break. I'll be back for the next round whenever it returns! : )
