Usually, I’m working, working, working, so there’s no time to do what I’d rather be doing: reading, reading, reading, but I see light at the end of the tunnel. I will catch up, I will catch up, I will catch up. I said it three times, so it’s gonna happen, right?
So, with all the great books coming out and already released this year, what are YOU reading? What are you anticipating? Let’s hear from ya!
Lastly, for those participating in Written’s 30 Books in 90 Days contest, share what you’ve read thus far and if you think you’re going to get the 30 books read in the remaining 32 days?? To the show-offs…I haven’t given up yet. LOL! I can hang, I can hang! I CAN HANG!
Okay…I’ll be honest and say I don’t even know where I am. LOL. but, I’m not giving up. I’ll get my list together and post it. I’m not sure I’m gonna hit the 30 Books, but I’m still going to try. Where are y’all at?
