February Readathon

Books Read:

-This is a library book on my Nook. Will probably finish it today.

I'm trying to read some in this every day so I will finish it before the year is over! It just seems to go really slow but he is a good writer, politics is just not my thing.

-This is an anthology of urban fantasy stories, which have been very good so far.

This is an overdue library book I'm trying to finish so I can turn it in before the fine is too much. I would just turn it in and try to check it out again later, but its from another branch of the library and I don't know how long it would be before I could check it out again. Hopefully I'll finish it today too.
