Books I bought

I know I have not posted in awhile. I am trying to get on track with my reading. My reading plan is to read light romances (quick reads) on the weekend and books for challenges (longer reads) during the week. I also will try to read at least an hour a night during the week. I hope that this will help me get back on track to finish reading 100 books by the end of the year. So I have been reading more and posting reviews less. Needless to say I have some back log of reviews to post. So keep checking back to see when I posted my reviews until then here our some books that I recently bought at the Salvation Army. $1.00 for hardcover and .50 cents for paperback.
