I also don't work so I tend to listen to audios ALL day. I don't watch tv very much so that helps. Oh yeah, sometimes big books will get ya!! My problem is I like them all...big, little and all the ones in between LOL
Keep going....YOU GOT THIS!!! Keep us up to date on your progress. I'll be watching. I'm around quite a bit!

I'm loving this challenge and this group. I love to see what others are reading. I don't do much but work and read... so it gives me a motivation to read books I wouldn't typically.
We've got this! Enjoy your holidays!

YAS!!! I love this challenge and the group. I've participated off and on throughout the last 10 years. I like the variety of genres. I read/find books for the tasks that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise. Some of them good some not so good....but it's ok. I love seeing what others are reading as well. I get some books off my TBR while adding just as many back onto my TBR : ) All of you are enablers lol
YEP, We've got this!!! Enjoy your reading and holidays as well!!!
