Sandra wrote: "Congrats, Jannene! I wonder how many books you and Dominique read together this time. You two are an awesome team. :)"Definitely more this year than last. Last year we read 38 together. This year 47 so far but have about 68 scheduled to read because of this challenge. It is great having someone with the same tastes in books. Our rating on books are pretty close if not the same as well.
