Have reached my goal of Franklin 10 so have changed my goal to 'Nominate my own goal' of 50.
That's a big change Jools, but I'm sure you'll do it!
Carolyn wrote: "That's a big change Jools, but I'm sure you'll do it!"I know, but its only March and I guess I underestimated my other challenges where I have a lot of women authors already on my to read list for this year anyway so.... o-o glasses on and fingers xd ;)
