Yes, the authors are from Maine. That's where I am from too, so it's nice to point out. :)
I will join this one as well as my target is 100 books this year anyway.I will update the 58 books I have already read this year later on.
Joining this one as well. I probably won't make it beyond 125, but hey, it's better than nothing! Will add my list tonight.
Wonderful, ladies. Welcome to the challenge, Adele & Danie!!
Updated my post (294) and I've finally got past the quarter mark, hopefully if I pull my socks up I might manage to finish level one this year (:
