10 Books Of January
Over at On The Nightstand I am taking part in several challenges, one of which is “read 100 books in a year”.

A Double Celebration!
I have reached the 40 000 and 10 000 word marks for Lionheart and Bones respectively. Isn’t that awesome? I think so! Anyway, now that I have more than definitely reached the half-way point for Lionheart, and am about a sixth of the way through Bones I just need to be like the kitty below [...]
