Does the 13 include the..."
No it is 13 plus the 4 free. Sorry if I made that confusing.
Ok, my last post included a book that was read on May 23rd and did hit the random shelf summer-reading, but, I posted it before that free shelf was announced, so, to update my totals, I am adding 5 extra shelves - picture-book, picture-books, romantic-suspense, spirituality and vampires.Total
