Call me crazy...but I'm signing up for another reading challenge. This one is the Fall Into Reading Challenge hosted by A Chick Who Reads. To participate click on the challenge link and sign yourself up for some fall fun! I'm still thinking on a few of mine--will fill them in later.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
