Kelly,

It depends on the book. I read Village Bride of Beverly Hills in one afternoon, for example. I find that I can't put Tess Gerritsen's books down, either.

I also read two or three books at once. I will take one to the gym with me to read and one or two that I read when I have a bit of time. My kids' bath time is a good time. I sit with them in the bathroom while they play and I read.

LOL. I have been taking the bus to work a lot lately so I read on the bus - that helps a LOT (one hour each way to relax and read)!

Still not sure I can make my goal; I am hoping for some reading time on vacation in July.
