Since I almost made 100 this year (93), I will go for 75 books this time and see if I can make it.

I'm sure you will. You get through books a lot faster than I do and I set my goal at 75.

LOL! I am not sure what happened but it's supposed to be 75 books. I am going to try but who knows how it will be with classes and working. :)

Believe me, I know how tough that can be. :) Good luck!

See, I told you. :) I haven't even finished one book yet. I've been too obsessed with Morgan's Rainbow Loom....which I guess is mine now as she has only tried to use it twice.

One book is not that many.....it's almost the 10th. UGH! LOL! I am reading two long books right now to so that may contribute to a slower amount of books read for January. The Rainbow Loom looks interesting. Maya and J each have one and they may bracelets all the time. They have made me a couple. :)

LOL, I think I've made like 20. That girl just didn't get the patience for crafting gene from me I guess.

I'm reading the new Dean Koontz and having a hard time with it because it's slow. Like, really slow. I'm over halfway through it and not much has really happened. I'm pretty disappointed.

Dang! You are a Rainbow Loom queen! LOL! I don't really have a crafting gene either except for scrapbooking.

I was wondering how Dean Koontz new books was. It seemed like you weren't reading it very quickly because normally you are done with those in about two days if not sooner. It sucks when your favorite author ends up disappointing you. I had that happen recently with Danielle Steel. It wasn't her latest book but the one before it. I thought about reading the Dean Koontz book but I may not now. :)

Yeah, you may want to skip that one. It got pretty religious too. I know not every single book an author writes is going to be awesome, and considering the fact that he has written a megaton of books and short stories, there are bound to be a few that don't make it to my 4 and 5 star rating list.

And yeah, I've started a 12-step program for the Rainbow Loom and can proudly say I have not touched it in five days. :)

And scrapbooking - it's funny, because I don't have the patience for or interest in that. I'm weird. :)

Tara: LOL! 12 step program for Rainbow Loom is hilarious. I need to do that with Candy Crush! :)I haven't done much scrapbooking lately since school started again (they updated Blackboard.....AGAIN) and it kind of sucks! UGH!

I saw that. I logged in last week to get to the STAR system so I could get a copy of my transcript. I'm so glad I'm done. IF I ever go back for a Master's, I think I'll do it on-site somewhere.

It runs really slow and it was down on Saturday already. I won't be taking summer classes this year! I have been going since non stop since last Spring. I need a break longer than two weeks :)

Been there more than once, I know exactly how you feel!

I'm still getting emails about the outages, not sure how to make them stop. I guess the next time I should actually look at it and see if it has an unsubscribe feature at the bottom, rather than just sighing and deleting it. :)

Tara: LOL! That might be how you can. I was still getting them when I finished my Associates. I just deleted them. I hope I can work on my Goodreads challenge list today. It is bothering me that it's not done. :)

I loved the book. I was laughing at some of the guys that she met! Lol!

Me too.

Killan (Was that his name? Can't remember exactly...) reminded me of someone else that I've finally gotten rid of in my life. I was able to really connect with the MC on that part, more than I cared to. :/

I think his name was Kellan. Lol! I know what you mean. I think we all have been there :)
