Great challenge, Judy! Where do you find the time?

I am actually not sure! I hope to use my breaks and flight time to catch up on reading. How about you?

I'm trying to make reading a greater priority. It's been good book reading weather up here lately, so I've got no excuse not to reach my humble goal of a book/month.

Do you live in the west coast? It has been hard to read with all the school work I have. But fortunately we are reading a lot of American literature! How many books do you plan to read this year?

Don't know if I can finish everything but worth a try

Great list!

I'm from South-Central Ontario, Canada. We're FINALLY getting some decent weather this week - it's been very, very cold here recently.

I want to try many lists so that I can try many different kinds of books.
I see wow it must be really cold up there. I was just in Connecticut and it's pretty cold there too.

Julie, I'm living in CT. It is cold.Right now it is getting up into the forties. In the cold, most of the time, I read.

I agree! I was not out most of the time and luckily I am back home in Japan right now which is in like the fifties!

CT to Japan - that must be quite the flight(s)!

Haha yes it's 13 hours! But I get to watch movies and read so I like it quite a bit!
