Goal: 100 books and 1500 hours
YTD: 189 Books Read, 1771 Hours Spent
This Month: 23 Books Read, 179 Hours Spent
September just flew by. Between birthdays, anniversaries, theater & concerts, holidays and the start of Halloween Bingo, it was a very busy, fun-filled month in real life and reading-wise. Lots of good books this month, brought to me compliments of Halloween Bingo. I finished my Bingo reading on September 29. I wanted to read and I just kept reading and reading until I realized I has just a few books away and would finish before the end of the month. Reading is more fun than chores, don't you agree?
