Everyone's doing so well on this! I seem to have been stuck on "read a book with ice cream on the cover" forever! It's not that I can't find a suitable book, it's finding the time to read it. Real life suddenly got manic!!

Mod
I don't know! Lucky dice?? I have been having a hard time matching what I read to the tasks. I started on May 8th and only read 17 books for this.
I seem to get stuck on one task, then I knock out the next few in a short time, then I get stuck again. It doesn't help my progress on the path when I keep getting sent backwards. But that's ok, it's getting more books out of Mt. TBR, and that's what it's all about, right? :)
Mod
Yes. I need to use more of those!
