January
So at the beginning of August, I'm up to 30 books with 21 weeks left in the year, with at least two books that will be finished in the next few days. I'm feeling pretty good about the 52 book goal. Particularly since we're heading to Grandparent Nirvana next week for 16 days, and I plan to spend as much time as possible not looking after my children.
Now I know that Zellous is occupied with her brand new bundle of joy, so maybe we can solicit some recommendations from anyone reading for the next book club book? We won't tax her Brand New Mommy brain by making her choose something...(JK Zellous. Your brain is plenty powerful enough to kick the arse of those pesky hormones! And Congratulations!)
