Reading in 2011
Hello again... Here's my decisions regarding Reading in 2011:
-I am not joining any official challenges.
-Overall goal is 52 books this year, this allows me to read 1 book a week, more is fine. Less is okay too.
-I will not be doing book reviews unless a book was OUTSTANDING AND I have the time.
-I want 50% or more of my books read to be library books, and these will be noted with a "*" next to them. If they are not library books I prefer to borrow from a friend, or get them at a reduced cost and will state how I did this.
Without further ado...

I was more than halfway through it, and it disappeared into an unknown box, to be discovered close to 2 months later in our new home in Utah while I was desperately searching for the dance gear for the 2 little dancers in our home!! SO excited to finally finish reading it and I cannot wait for Book 3!!! :)
