Comments - Not bad for January. I knocked out a few books form my TBR piles and finished a few iPad reads. I am again dedicating February to fantasy reads (except for The Nanny Diaries as I am trying to finish that from January). Lots of great reads to look forward to. My goal is to surpass my January pages. Let's see if I can do it.
