April Progress Report

I always knew that I'd have to slow down at some point. April's been a very off month. I only managed to read 11 books...and I'm still actually finishing up that eleventh book (should get through it tonight so it still counts.) I've also had a hard time keeping up with posts.

Well, it's over....looking forward to May.
