Lindsay you're going so fast I'm so impressed by you!!! yay!!


message 5: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay Also I would highly recommend doing As You Wish on audio. He narrates it himself and I personally melted like butter listening to him the whole time. It's an excellent book

Glad that you are over your reading slump. Best of luck with your reading in the rest of December (whether or not you reach your goal, you have done an impressive climb already!).
