Challenge Completed: Support Your Local Library

I have finally finished this one!!!!!!  50 library books was harder than I thought it would be!  I felt like I would never get there, but I did! :-)  This is likely the last challenge I will complete this year – although I will make it over 80% of the way to 100!!!! 

One of the things I didn’t like was constantly feeling like I had to get the books I was reading from the library.  I usually get my books from the library but while I was working on this challenge I felt like I had to read library books and my “to read” pile on the dresser just sat untouched! Now to tackle some of those books!
