I've started keeping a list of books published in 2010 that I read after Feb 1. Since any one of them could fit into multiple categories, I figured I'd pigeonhole them later, starting with the more difficult categories.
Good idea Daffodil.

Go, Valorie! You're rockin' this challenge!
Thanks Steph! I'm trying to get through as many challenges as I can. Going back to college has put a cramp in my reading time :(
Bummer! But, expanding brain, a good thing. :) I'm heading back myself. Trying to get over the huge amt of dough I'll be handing over for it though. Definitely not looking forward to less (what I wanna read) reading time, but I need to do it. It'll be good for me to have my degree whenever we return to the states (bleh! I love living overseas) and I have to work again.Sorry to ramble off topic

Yeah, it's painful! Thanks. It'll be a while (2 yrs at least) before we head back that way. :)
Powering along Inga!
In this case it means you are reading lots and quickly! LOL.
I know sports are good for you, but I'm a reading kind of gal. LOL.
No :( for that addiction, my dear Inga. We all share it! Enjoy! There are much worse addictions to have. :)
:) Less? Nah! LOL! Wishing you many more good reads this month.
LOL! Sure I am. Just encouraging instead of discouraging a healthy book appetite. hehe >:)
You'll find everyone here very "encouraging" of the addiction. If you want to slow down, you're in the wrong group, lol :)I had other choice words to replace encouraging, but being the nice person I am, I refrained O:-)
Thank you, Miss Vivian. LOL!!! O>:) <--- my halo is held up by my horns
Well, Inga, we certainly don't want to lose you. Welcome to our addiction. LOL.
I second that! :D
Hehe. It took me months to get to that point of acceptance. Congratulations Inga!
