Hi TerryJane! Looks like you are crushing your goal! Did you get to tackle any big chunksters like you wanted? I get torn between wanting to read read and being with a tome for a while. I did manage to read 2 doorstoppers and am in the middle of a third. And I loved the time I spent with them. I hope you are enjoying lots of fabulous books! Happy reading!

Hi Tee! Hope all is well! Looks like you're making progress on your goal. I hope your new job hasn't put too much a damper on your reading. Hope you're enjoying lots of wonderful books so far this year. Happy reading!

That's fine. I can't wait until the readathon starts so we can see where we stand with the books.
