  6. Hi Melanie, and all,

    I read and reviewed 13 books last month. I will post all of my links this coming week.

    My goal this year is 13 books a month. I have lessened my reading load for this year a bit. I have a lot of other things on the table including starting another University Degree.

    Take good care all, and happy reading!

  7. I am counting this as 2/13, even though it was three books so technically it could be 4/13. I like to count series as 1, though, and I did one joint review. (The 2nd and 3rd books were both published in 2017.)
