Well, I spent the day at the Newtown Library Book Sale, and in the photos you can see some of what I bought. It made me think this would be a good time to update you (it is already midyear!) on how I’m doing on my Reading Challenge for 2016. I am behind and better get busy, even though I’m midway through lots of things right now. If I end up reading more than 52 books this year, some of these titles might get swapped out for better ones. Here is what I have finished so far:
