I have a question. Some of these say "on the main page." I don't know what that means and I can't find anywhere in the book info that names a genre.

When you click on a book and it takes you to the main page of that book, where the most reviewed cover is displayed, along with a review and the option to look at other editions, just to the right there will be a section titled Genres and it will list what various readers have flagged them as. I believe that's where you would see if the genre you're looking for is listed. Hope that helps, not sure it's a good description. :)

I think I can add a couple more in March. You know I love a reading challenge. I've found some of my favorite books that way.

Me too, OM. I like the way these challenges make me choose books off my radar.

I'm upping my level too.

Me too! I'm going for level 3. I've read 19 and am working on 2 more with 1 I havent started yet. I'm obsessed.

Nice job, Koren! These are really fun. ...I just need more time to read.

I got a lot read in January and February but when gardening time comes I probably wont get as much done.

That's a good reason. I listen to audible books while I'm gardening, though, so I still get some listening/reading done.

I never thought about listening to audios while gardening that's a great idea. I usually listen to them while I'm cooking.

Good Reading Everyone!
