I can't believe there are only (3) months left in 2010. There was so much I wanted to accomplish (in books) when 2010 rolled in, and although I've had a good year, I still feel disappointed a bit as my reading has decreased by about (4) books a month, since I went back to work full time (6) months ago. Why wasn't I born rich, and working was an option? LOL
