Challenge: 50 Books discussion

Last year was a bust for me reading-wise, but I am on a roll this year. I've had a lot of time on the boat this winter so I'm already ahead of schedule. Updated list coming soon

Jacques, That Popsugar list is funny! Thanks for posting it.

You're definitely on a roll already! Are you shooting for 50 this year, or something higher since you're doing so well thus far?

Had just planned on the 50 this year. I wasn't expecting to be doing so well this early. Maybe I'll make an adjustment later.

Got quite a few more reads in this month.
