100 Books-A-Month Challenge, Reading My Library

I'm getting behind in posts again. Things are busy with drag racing back in our lives. Here is our list of books read for this month. There are a couple of books I didn't record that are up at the race track. I'll add them later. As for reading our library, we are still plugging along. We have only made it to H though and I figure that we likely won't finish our alphabet of authors this year. That is okay. We are enjoying it and have discovered some amazing authors.
