Final Comments
I have to say, this very well may have been my favorite Bout of Books yet. Even though I moved in the middle of it. I found a really good balance of socializing, updating, doing challenges, balancing RL obstacles, and, of course, reading. It was such a blast! I would like to send a huge shout-out to Kelly, Amanda, Shirley, and Hannah for doing everything they do for Bout of Books. They're what makes this crazy week of epicness possible! *three cheers*
I'm so glad you have fun and were able to accomplish most of your goals, Sharon! :)
