Which means I'm 420 pages down of 680 and moving strong.  I hope to get a few more read by this evening but we shall see..

I Am going to finish this book by Sunday of this week or I'm never going to catch up and I've got quite a way to go still before completing my goal.

I also made a few revisions to my bookshelf- even though I know I said I wasn't going to change anything on my shelf.  I've added in Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (which I received for Christmas) and another V.C Andrew's book and removed 3 texts; my two history of vampires books and the book of vice.  I've decided that these changes and additions would benefit me and took this liberty because it's a new year.. so why not add some new and take out some old?

Now, As it stands I've read 12 of 123 books and I'm working on completing #13. From today's date until September I have 230 days left to read 111 books.  This means that I need to be reading a book ever 2 days approx.

Okay.. So I really need to get my butt moving I know! No more excuses, just gotta get back into reading... Here's praying I can make it!

Wish me Luck
<3
