    Congratulations on meeting your 60-book goal for the year! I have no idea what books I’ve read this year. I have never thought to keep track – if I had done this from the beginning, I would never forget a book! This is a great idea. My to be read list is enormous but school, three large writing projects, and life all conspire to keep me from reading for fun as much as I would like. It really stinks when you want to settle in with a good book and realize you have to translate the Aeneid into English and read that instead. 🙁

      Why, thank yoU!
      I’m glad you liked the idea 🙂 I hope you do keep a reading list! It’d be really cool to see what all you’ve been reading.
      That does stink 🙁 Sometimes, I have to make a rule that I can’t read books until I’m done with school, or else I’ll be reading all day.
      I hope you find more time to read this year! And if you don’t find it, I hope you make it 😉
