*Platypire Read-A-Thon* October

So October is already almost halfway over and I'm only just getting around to this, but I am at least finally getting around to updating my list. I don't have super high hopes for getting much accomplished in the rest of the month because I've got a few proofreading jobs on my calendar and those eat up a lot of time (and I've got three mail call posts I need to build yet too), but I'm hoping to get a few reviews written at least as well as reading at least one non-proofreading book. With that in mind, here's where I'm at right now.

So I added another 17 books that aren't proofreads to my TBR list in the past two months. I really need to develop some self-restraint where books are concerned, but I just don't see that happening any time soon. Hopefully I'll find a good reading rhythm here soon and start actually knocking books off this list without replacing ALL of them. So how many reviews do you think I can get written between now and the end of October? - Katie
