In fact, the 159 I finished last year was a "personal best" for me and I doubt that I'll read that many this year because I've been working full-time again since the end of October. Being unemployed for seven months of 2007 sure gave me a lot of extra time to read...that's one of the better things Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-55411907000112178072008-02-19T15:44:00.000-06:002008-02-19T15:44:00.000-06:00I've read more than 200 books for the last two yea...I've read more than 200 books for the last two years. I work full time and am a single mum, but do have the luxury(?) of 15 hours commute time every week which is when I read.

Or what her retention rate is? That's not meant to sound snarky-I'm really curious, lol.<BR/><BR/>Ok, I went to read the article to find out if it told me why. So weird that she's soliciting donations-I mean, isn't that what a library is for? But it's good to see someone passionate about books!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.com
