This blog didn't quite come out as planned, so I'm closing it down. I had intended to make lively (if one-sided) conversation about what I was reading, but the truth is that I simply read it too fast and didn't feel like keeping a journal during each new book. I am going to transfer my page-count to my book blog (which may be moving as well...) since I'm pretty proud of that goal being nearly met. And I will keep you updated with my reading for the year over there.
Other than that, this is goodbye! Thanks for reading!
