    I have a ton of book reviews to accomplish for NetGalley. I hope to make headway on that goal in Novemeber. I read too many and then can't remember what the book was about. It's a bad habit. I have decided not to request anymore books until I have written at least 10 reviews.
    You have great books on your list!
    Sincerely,
    Sharon Paavola

    @Sharon

    I know exactly what you mean! It is so much tougher to review a book when I don't write it right away... Thanks for commenting and I hope your review writing goes well. :)
