I was behind. No excuse, just didn't get over here. I also updated my Summer reading with our local library. They are rewarding patrons with $5 fee waivers for every 10 hours of reading. I'm returning books today and plan to donate my waivers back to the library(which will get me a badge!).

A team member for a different challenge was apologizing that life was very busy for her and she wasn't getting as much reading done as she wanted to. I found out today that she had just gotten married! A wedding would certainly keep you busy :)
Mod
I wish my library did that. I could use a couple of those waivers :)
