Book Binge

May 5 – May 31, 2008

This one seemed like a no-brainer to me. Mary at It’s Not All Mary Poppins is hosting her annual Book Binge whereby readers simply track the books they read this month and then post about them. The goal is to read as much as you can. The rules are flexible. I’ll be listing my books from May on this post with links to my reviews.
