    Question for you: do you ever get burned out reading at all? Fall into reading slumps?

  7. I think I about fainted when I read your first line! :)

    I'm just so curious how many books you'll have read by the end of the year. Can we start placing bets or something? :)

    Here's hoping October is another fabulous month for you.

  16. I think I can safely say I'll never read 300 books in 9 months. I'm impressed. Lots of those you finished this month are on my wishlist. It could very well be your fault. :)
