You're a rock star! I didn't get in nearly as much reading as I would have liked this summer, and that's one of my all-time favorite things to do.

I'm completely impressed! I can't believe you read 71 books...legit books, not picture books. Well done!! I was so proud of myself for getting through 20. :)
