JoAnne, is it okay to count a book I've already started but haven't reached the halfway point yet? I'll be reading over half of it in August.
Mod
Yes, as long as more than 1/2 is read in August. :)
Awesome. Thank you! I had to set aside
a month or so ago, but I'll be getting back to it soon. I'm not to the halfway point yet.
Mod
a month or so ago, but I'll be getting back to it soon. I'm not to the halfway point yet."I need to add this series to my TBR!
Yes, you do! The first book was awesome, so I got the next two books. I'll be getting more of the series as soon as I read these two, definitely.
