I am going for option A this year.

I'd like to do a mixture of new series & current ones I'm reading.

1 down.

Pamela (pamelaterry) Way to go, Britney!! I am just now starting to read - already 7 days late in the year. :(

I started right before the New Year or I would still be reading. Lately most my reading takes place when I go to bed, so I probably won’t have another one finished for a while.
