Holy cow! I wouldn't have room to store all those books!
Over 30 books, wow! I don't think I've ever had more than 20 or so (unless of course I hit up a library book sale or went crazy at Half Price Books) in a week.
Julie I think you are going to need to start reading 2 books a day!
I also got the Ocean Inside and I just LOVE the cover. I can't wait to read it!
My jaw is hanging to the ground. WOW. You have to tell me how you do it. I mean, you get them and you read 'em pretty quick. I guess I'm in awe.
