Stopping by to say hello and send you my warmest wishes.
I read about your father in one of this group's threads and know that this is a difficult time for you.
Years ago, I lost my father in February during my senior year in college and practically flunked all my classes that quarter and missed graduating.
You and I haven't interacted in this group in the past, but I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts.

Thank you so much Oshizu! I really appreciate it. I love this group and have recently started using it more.

I still find it amazing that you probably read the amount of books in a year that I have read in my lifetime.

wow, what a challenge! this might be a bit personal, but, how do you afford to read so many books? i've found a combo of second-hand books, presents, ARC's and re-reading books i already own/love works for me at around 50-60 books a year (probably 60% second-hand books, i used to read a lot of free ebooks but often didn't enjoy them). how do you make it work for 720? thanks and best of luck!

I go to my library a lot and I own my own business so I make enough to buy books. Thanks!!

Currently updating. I have 240 books to add as soon as I finish updating my March books. I have a notebook with all the books I've read lol. It's pretty darn full.

Wolf, it's good to hear from you. My notebook is pretty darn full, too! Looking forward to seeing what you've been reading.

Thanks!!! I look forward to seeing what you've read too!
