Dear Shellyrae, Firstly – a 1000 thanks for the reviews you provide to us all. I, for one, would be the poorer without your guidance. Secondly – and more importantly – may you (and all your family) have good health throughout 2016, and may it be a year of peace and happiness for one and all. As they say in Scotland (where I am now) – ‘Happy Hogmanay! and lang may yer lum reek!’ (translation: long may your chimney smoke – ie: may you be warm and comfortable in your home!)

Great stats Shelleyrae – next year I am limiting my challenges and expectations of numbers of books read as I have a busy year ahead of me – I’ll still be reading but not aiming for 200+.

I’m dropping mine down too Carol 🙂 Good luck with your goals!

Thanks Shelleyrae – I figure I’ll just read and see where it ends up but 150 is not unrealistic – reading is my favourite past time- and 150 is only 1 book every two and a half days – so even factoring a busy time ahead that is doable 🙂 Of those 150 I would like to increase my Aust Women Writer reads to 50.
