Over-achiever! ;-)
So far I'm only one for five, though I've just started a book that will fit both this and the SPRING challenge.
Nah, Heather. I'm just addicted to books, cozies in particular, and seldom go a day without reading at least one. Been that way all my life. I love the challenges and trying to find a book to fit.
Finished the challenge! All cozy mysteries too. Now to see if I can finish the Spring challenge.
