Book Count 2011

Despite my lack of posting, I have continued toward my goal of 50 books by December 31, 2011. I am currently in the middle of my 46th book, so I do believe that I am going to make it! I have recently found Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles series, and, thanks to Ms. Gerritsen and the ease and quickness with which I am able to read her books, I will most certainly surpass my 50 book goal. If you have not read these books, I highly recommend them!
