Maggie (magzzzz) | 37 comments I've had a horrible reading month. I got bronchitis at the beginning of the month and have never gotten back in the in the groove. There's no way I'm going to read 16 books before the end of the month. :( So, I'm giving up this month and hope to do better in October. Sigh.
