Huh.
That makes it surprising she was going to pick up a bag of books from the library, but good for her, then.
(Memoriam, we moved a few times when I was young, so different areas might have had coordinated programs, but then I would end up switching and the order would get mixed around. I was often placed in classrooms with younger or older students to try and make sure I got all the right subjects eventually, even if the order was mixed up. But the language and literature courses, they didn't check for what content I had already had, they just placed me in the class of my age group for that subject, so sometimes it would be a repeated unit. Makes me wonder which books I never ended up reading that most people my age learned)

Wow, that sounds complicated. But at least I understand how that happened
I'm slowly finishing the book I'm reading. I'm excited

My father just told me he picked up a copy of the latest books in Patricia Brigg's "Alpha and Omega" series so now I'm rereading the last few books in that series, since I'll be able to borrow it when he's done, and it's been a while.

So. I finished the book by Bucki. Now I've started another one. That wasn't on my list... So I had to update it... Hey, at least I'm on my 4th book this year and it's only half of March

That makes it likely I'll reach my goal of five books and might even exceed it.

2. T. Adeyemi Children of Virtue and Vengeance <EN>

So you are way ahead of schedule, that's awesome mem! Congrats!
I'm a bit behind but it's ok.
I'm not reading much these days - work is hectic - even though I'm really really enjoying my current book.

Oh, well, starting ahead is great anyway, because it kinda removes the pressure of keeping up to your own challenge.
I mean, a bit challenging it nice, too challenging and all I want to do is giving up.
