Just about a year ago, I heard about this group and joined at end of August. I then crammed 26 books in 4 months and some change. I'm on a much better pace in 2015. Starting in January is a bit easier on the eyes. Let's go people!
Almost there! It's time for me to get back to books on this challenge lol. I still have open spots to fill!
