Carla is Movin’ On Up Mt. Ararat

[Carla]

One of my reading resolutions for 2019 is to not get so distracted by the shiny new books and focus on the great stuff sitting in my house right now. 48 books would be roughly half of my reading goal for 2019, so that feels like the right mix.

I agree, good luck!

[Bev]

[Susie]
