At most, I'm reading 3 chapters at a time, but usually only two. And I take a day off sometimes (since I'm only reading it on my bike). It's working out great! I get excited to go back to it and it's hard to believe I'm almost 200 pages in already. I even bought the second one in the series the other day so I can start it right after. :) Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12401451485460760416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-208163394454907082013-03-17T10:36:07.541-04:002013-03-17T10:36:07.541-04:00Great haul this week. looks like your library is b...Great haul this week. looks like your library is better than my local one.
