Hey, absolutely amazed at how you managed to finish all of these books within a year's time! You must be very good in following through with your goals :)

P.S. I also think life becomes much more fun with exaggeration! Fills up one's ordinary life with so much drama and action.

Wow!!! You read a lot of books, although I try I don't think I can't read 50 books a year.

I love your blog :)
