Reading 50 Books in a Year - an Update

Almost all of the books are memoirs, as they are my prefered genre for reading & writing.

I've had a few that were hard for me to get through lately, hopefully my current book will continue to be good. It's a fictional story for a change.

I want to find my copy of The Time Travelers Wife, but it must be in a box somewhere.

Ok, I added 3 more now that I charged my Kindle & took at look at what I have read on there.

So how are you doing on your reading this year?
