At the same time, I hope I don't forget to review some of those books I really want to talk about - that happened a lot last year. Still, no pressure - it's nice not to be on a schedule. :)Athira / Athshttp://www.readingonarainyday.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-67790884477330220612013-01-28T17:08:39.094-05:002013-01-28T17:08:39.094-05:00Reading and reviewing one book a week seems good e...Reading and reviewing one book a week seems good enough, as I struggle with that too! :) I love "Into the Wild" and I hope you are touched by it because I did.
