Presumably, I will stop reading long enough to post all the observations for the month. But you never know. After all, they did not state whether we are to read brand new books and/or new-to us books. This could take awhile.....

For World Book Day, Amazon gives away a free participating Kindle book.

Gee, I was dedicating December to re-reading important old books.

Are any of them banned books?
