Working on review - will post it on my book review thread, later.
To those GR friends who read my reviews, thank you. For the Fall 2013 SRC Challenge, I am going to change my strategy - I will not be reviewing every book I read for the Fall Season. Therefore no new thread in the Book Review folder. I want to see if I can get closer to finishing the next Season. You can check on the book's Main page to see if I review the book. If this strategy doesn't work well, then I will go back to reviewing each book during the Winter SRC!
Congratulations to all of the finishers! And thank you to our great moderators!
