Books of February
Mar. 1st, 2011 11:59 pmI didn't read that much this month. And I didn't post that much although it felt like I had (I kept thinking about it ...) but one of the reasons for that was that I was doing other things! And one of those things was writing. And while my brain seemed agreeable to this, I didn't want to distract myself too much with new books.
Didn't stop me from buying a few new ones though.*g*

And demonstrating why I haven't read very much this month, my word count:
17,490.
Not very impressive at first glance but I only started on the 8th, and I only worked on weekdays for about an hour at a time. I'm fairly pleased right now.
