Another pretty decent day! The two books I finished were really good and I'm enjoying Death by the Book! The heroine in Porch Swing Girl needs a major attitude adjustment but I've heard good things so I'm hoping she shapes up soon!

My Thoughts on Day Six
Read the least amount today that I've read all week but that's always the case for Saturdays since I work at my part-time job that day and it doesn't have built in reading times (aka naptimes) like my full time job. And then I had babysitting in the evening. Still pretty happy with how much I got read today even if I wish it was a little more!

Day Two Challenge

YEAR OF YOU
Share a book that was published the year you were born. 

I had to use Goodreads to help me on this one and I actually had no idea that two books from series I love were published the year I was born! These are the original covers and they are so 90's it's almost painful! Great stories inside though!
