Unplanned Reads ~ the ones that rudely cut in line and messed my whole world up!


My reading plan hasn't worked out too well for me this month.

I've actually read 11 books at this point - and probably will finish at least two more, but they haven't fallen in a way that gets me a lot of points this month. I'm playing the YLTO yearly challenge as well, and my 3rd badge is pretty limiting ... I ended up discarding and substituting several of my selections for another book pick. It's been a kind of frustrating month for me!

But I'm loving participating in this challenge!
