Well done, Judithe!After forgetting I've actually got to finish this challenge and not wanting to fail (again), I did some quick rearranging from the books I have read this summer (which only proves what a resourceful apprentice antiquer I am) and so it turns out, I've finished too!
I just tend to read more with a less structured schedule, reading because of my moods leaves me a lot more satisfied with books :)
