Wow, you are a voracious reader! Congrats, that's a lot of books. I'm thinking I might steal you idea and keep track of how many books I read this year. Thanks for the idea.

I just finished Water for Elephants, it was a really good book.

you should start writing cliff notes from all the books you have read. you could make enough money to buy more books! :)

Betty said...
