You had an especially awesome month in May!
Whether to plan or not you are simply an amazing prolific reader - good job!!
Compared to you, I look like I'm constantly in a coma! LOL
Wow, that's really impressive! Especially May!!!
What a fantastic list Lezlie, very impressive. There are one or two I think I'll read.
Thanks, everyone! I have this wild fantasy of reading 200 books in a year someday. We'll see how long I'm lucky enough to keep this up! :-)

Impressive reading!!! You have a great month in May. May was my slow month due to school. But I hope to have a great summer.
Kara ~ Thanks! School would slow things down, that's for sure. I think that's why I don't go back. :-)
