I'm making pretty good progress.... but .... I'm not really where I want to be.  So what does a bookworm do when overwhelmed with reading challenges? Why join another, of course!  I'm signing up for The Japanese Literature Challenge 5!  My only goal is to FINALLY read a Haruki Murakami book before the end of the year.

Happy Reading!!!
