Good gracious me!

 

Many thanks AL and the monkeys.

 

I read 11 books. Crumbs.

 

Ought I to be keeping an account of the ones I am now reading?

 

We are a veritable scholarly community.

Yes we are.  It is astonishing how much we get read when we have each other to encourage us, too!!!

 

I'm especially grateful to those of you who came in at the last minute to get us over the top of 100,000!    Not any chance of glory (well there isnt' for most of us AVERAGE readers!) but it still is fun.

 

I'm open to another round, but only after Easter... Lent is just TOO busy!

 

Maybe we can do something during the Easter Season or something... if there is interest....

WOOHOO! And in your face Deus! :p

 

 

JK, jk!

 

I might be a little busy after lent since my sisters are graduating high school this year and my family has to go to "official" things for them. I think the summer would be the best time!

Doing something like this again would be fun!!! (I'll have to keep an eye on the Lame Board, so that I know about it as soon as possible... I didn't see this thread until a few days before it was finished!!!) I think the summer might be a good time to do it.

Wow, I can't believe we read this much.  I've gotten some good ideas for future books to read and thanks to Anne-Line for compiling all the totals.

Happy to have been able to help.  The summer reading thread belongs to Byz, but I am sure he'd be happy to do it again, and I'll count again if there is interest.   SOmeone ought to ask him!

 

A few people wanted to do it for Lent, but it is just too crazy... if there is interest, as I said, I'll try it for Easter Season..... but I also think maybe Summer better.  (I think he started it for those who had summer reading homework, but it kind of... exploded!!!!)
