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.
