Well, I read 5 books out of the basket over my Spring Break—that’s a good start.
I am planning that maybe this will work for next summer, but if not, definitely by 2008!
I bought a basket to put them all in, and was amazed that the basically all fit in it. I have a new plan to read 5 books per week for the rest of the summer. We will have to see how that turns out!
