Kendra Puckett's Blog (6)

So...'08 didn't go so well for me, did it? The good news about '10 is that I'm actually home a lot so I'll have time to read now. As I posted in my profile I'm keeping track of my progress, with reviews and things, at http://www.athsndwordsbooks.blogspot.com . Feel free to pop over there, follow the blog and leave me some comments. I *may* cross-post some of that over here, or I might just link to individual posts; I'm just not sure yet. G… Continue

Well, I just realized I missed my book for the 3rd week. I know, its not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Technically I could miss 2 weeks (if I stuck to the one-book-a-week thing)..but now that I've started this I feel if I miss a week I'll miss another...and another until its December '08 and I've only read a handful of books, like last year.
