of course, Meg, you can have 2 goals, if you like. Do you read digitally? I find libraries collection of them, these days, are pretty good. You can even reserve 'coming soon' ones too!

Yes true. Although I prefer to read "good" books in paper, because I feel like I take more in that way, and save ebooks for lighter reads.

I've just realized I posted my entry for this twice, and neither of them has been linked yet. Please link message #43. I've edited message 17 so there should be no confusion, but I know deleting it wouldn't be a good idea.
