Comments - 2016's reading has rocked! I've read so many great books, got some off my shelves, and added to my pages read total. I'm so excited as to what May will bring. The next Bout of Books readathon is coming soon (I'll be posting my goals/TBR posts soon). But that also means that I have just a few weeks before the twins arrive. We'll see how my reading fairs in the summer.
