Ask anyone and they'll tell you I'm a technology junky. I tried ebooks and the whole doesn't work for me. I like the feel, the weight, the smell of a book and the turning of the pages. The feeling of accomplishment when …

I think I spelled her last name wrong though I'm sure everyone knows who I'm referring to. I actually started this before the new year and am just finishing it up. what a great read! :)

I didn't get anywhere near my goal and no where near 100 last year but I hope this year will be a bit different. I'm glad I keep track though a count is probably not necessary. Just the other day I was talking to someone…
