I'm so glad I did. I find it so interesting with such intense reading time, books that seemingly have nothing in common do in fact have things in common. I had a Venn Diagram running through my head the whole time. <br /><br />I've been in a reading slump since I was married in 2005 (the allure of HGTV and a much longer commute)... these last 48 hours have really gotten me out of that slump. I can't wait to finish those books I missed! Just in time too, today is the last day of school and kids are here looking for something to read!<br /><br /> Thanks again! See you next year!sharonhttp://bendintheroad.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-92217353509873090962009-06-08T11:20:10.344-04:002009-06-08T11:20:10.344-04:00Thanks so much for hosting this challenge.
