About The Author
Oh my!
What else is there to say…WOW!!!
How do you keep track of all they read?!
It has been a tradition that as soon as they finish reading a book, they bring it to me to show me. We usually stack them next to my computer so I can record them. Keeping blog draft posts going with the lists makes it easy. I really like to keep track of what they read, so I make it a priority.
