Nice job on your reading challenges and May reading! My May was okay, but my June is going to suck. I didn’t read a single thing in the first couple of weeks because I was so busy with family, my daughter’s graduation, volunteering, etc. But hopefully I’ll get in some good books now that that’s all over.
Thanks!
You are doing great! Better than me this month. And you read some great books!
Thanks!
